Thanks,
Akshay.

It may be safe but be prepared for a completely different experience.
The UI was replaced by a complete custom design that doesn't even respect the most basic macOS UI principles:
* different spacing/padding of items
* modal (blocking) preferences dialog with a closing X on the top right corner
* ignoring system's selection/accent color
* ...
If you use search a lot like I do. Be aware that it's badly broken. It isn't able to find substrings, e. g. an item like Openweathermap is only found searching for Open but not weather or map. A dealbreaker for me.
Do you have only one (or a small number) of vaults and often switch categories? In this case 1PW8 is a downgrade. The sidebar ist now used for vaults, accounts and tags. Switching categories was moved to a dropdown window just below search and requirers much more clicks than before.
