A few dumb questions immediately after installing 1Password 8 on Mac

You can trash all of them except 1Password for Safari, which 1Password 8 uses. 😊 I'm not sure where that "1Password 7 2.app" came from — that isn't something either our installer or the App Store names the 1Password app. Perhaps a name you manually applied? In any event — it can go.

I have the 1PW7 w/ a membership, so I'm good to go. You'll notice this screen shot from my APP Folder. Can/should I trash any of these before the 1PW8 download and install, or will the DL&I take care of those too? (Hopefully my last question!!!)! THANKS, Ben!

Happy to help 😃 If you're upgrading from 1Password 7 w/ a membership then the v8 installer will take care of everything for you. If you're upgrading from an earlier version, let's chat: support@1password.com. :)

Thanks, Ben! One follow up question - just to ensure I read/do this correctly - BEFORE I download and install 1PW8, I need to delete any and all earlier versions from my Mac? Thanks in advance (again)!

Hi @koat0906

Categories can be shown in the sidebar if desired:

Item counts are available in two places:

1. The sort selector at the top of the item list:
2. At the bottom of the item list:

I hope that helps!

I just got the notification that 1PW 8 is available to download. However, after reading this trail I'm reluctant to do so as the main complaints identified here are key elements I rely on in 1PW 7. So, as the last entry appears to be 12/2021, I'm wondering if all of these (i.e., Item Count repostioning and Categories to the Side Bar) have been resolved now that it is 05/2022? TIA!

Hi folks,

I have shared that feedback with the design team. They do have some further ideas on this subject, so we may see more changes coming. :+1:

Agree....all the way down at the bottom is no good. The whole point was a simple quick eyeball check. I never saw the short-lived version where it was at the bottom of the visible window, without scrolling but that would be better. Even better would be Categories in the sidebar with numbers in each type visible all in one view.

Earlier Jack said this ....

"The item count will apply to whatever the current view is showing. In Ben's example, that would be however many Login items are in the vault or account he's currently viewing. Additionally, it's at the bottom of the item list in the window, not in at the bottom of your list via sorting."

It was certainly like that at first. The Item Count was at the bottom of the window and we didn't have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to see it. Then the Item Count suddenly disappeared and we were told it would return at some point in a future build. But now I see it was just moved and it does, in fact, display all the way down at the bottom of the list. The implementation of this feature has been made demonstrably worse for no apparent reason.

Hi OAW:

We have a separate request for collapsing the sidebar, so I've added your input to that.
