Hi Lorraine_:

Glad to hear you've been enjoying 1Password for so long :chuffed:

Since you've got a 1Password account as well as your Primary vault, you can definitely wind down using your Primary vault. To do that, here's the steps:

  1. Check to make sure all of your data is available on https://my.1password.com and ensure you have a copy of your Emergency Kit.

  2. If needed, add your account to the device. * It may already be present. How to add your 1Password account to the apps

  3. If needed copy any items from your Primary vault to your membership vault (Personal/Private) that are not already present. * Please be sure you have the most up-to-date information in your Personal vault. * You may need to do this on each device.

  4. Remove the Primary vault. * You will need to do this on each device. Be sure to complete step two on any devices you have.

As for which 1Password extension to use, as we move forward, we're focusing our efforts on 1Password in the browser, the one called "1Password - Password manager", instead of "1Password extension (desktop app required)". 1Password in the browser offers the ability to generate new Logins inline, as well as take advantage of our new Masked Email integration with Fastmail: Protect your privacy with 1Password and Fastmail
