I read it, followed your instructions, and the problems seem to be solved. I replied to you directly via email.
Thank you again for your clear help.
The problem seems to have been caused by using a Time Machine backup to install all my apps/files on a new computer with different CPU technology, e.g. moving from Intel to Apple M2. Apple silicon has been out a long time. Seems like this problem would have been solved by Agile Bits, or at least documented very clearly.
Regardless, thank you for your excellent help.

Can someone please send me the instructions for locating and removing the 1password.sqlite file? I am having this local app database error and the 1Password help has not been helpful after 2 days.

Please make sure that you can see all of your items in a correct state when you log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app) before modifying any files.
While renaming that file forces 1Password to generate a new healthy database using the data in your account on 1Password.com, it can result in data loss in certain situations. I recommend that folks reach out to the team by sending an email to
support+forum@1Password.comso that we can help everyone resolve the issue safely.-Dave
