How to upgrade from Version Windows 8.10.80 to Version 7?

I want to upgrade to version 7 (and eventually to version 8.) I have seen some information, for example, for upgrading from version 4 to version 7, but not from version Windows 8.10.80 which is proba...

    Thank you for confirming that you're currently using 1Password for Windows version 8.10.80. At the time of writing, this is the current version of 1Password.

    Since you're already using the current version of 1Password 8 there's no need to do anything more. Let me know if I misunderstood.

    You are undoubtedly correct about my version being Version 8, so apologies.  (This would be a relief.)

    However, if this is the case, there are features that are not available.

    Most importantly, the Family Organizer is not able to change a Family Member to be a Family Organizer.  Specifically, when the Family Organizer selects “People” and then selects a Family Member, there is no choice to change that member to a Family Organizer.

    We used the instructions at the following URL to try to make this change:

    https://support.1password.com/family-organizer/

    I would appreciate your help with this matter.

    One other, minor example: To ensure we are using Version 8, I looked at the release notes in our 1Password version.  For the May 27, 2025 release 8.10.78, it showed, among other updates, the following:

    “We’ve added a new setting, “Autofill username when creating a new login”, under Settings > General. When turned off, 1Password won’t autofill the username field for new items created manually in the app.”

    I do not see this new setting.  (I do see the username being populated when I create a new login, but that probably has been happening for a while.)

    I assume I am using Version 8, as you indicate, but listed above are examples of two features that are not working or are not present. In particular I am concerned about the Family Organizer issue.

    Thanks

      Thanks for the reply. I'll respond below: 

      “We’ve added a new setting, “Autofill username when creating a new login”, under Settings > General. When turned off, 1Password won’t autofill the username field for new items created manually in the app.”

      I'm sorry for the confusion. Since the release of this option, the setting has been renamed and you can find it by following these steps: 

      1. Open and unlock 1Password for Windows.
      2. Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and click Settings.
      3. Click General.
      4. Toggle "Prefill username when creating a new login".

       

      Let me know if you don't see that option in the desktop app. 

      Most importantly, the Family Organizer is not able to change a Family Member to be a Family Organizer.  Specifically, when the Family Organizer selects “People” and then selects a Family Member, there is no choice to change that member to a Family Organizer.

      This option isn't found in the desktop app. As documented in the link that you posted, you need to log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com , in the browser, not the app. Follow these steps: 

      1. Open your browser.
      2. Log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com.
      3. Select People in the sidebar.
      4. Select the name of a family member to view their details.
      5. Select Family Organizer or Family Member to change their role.


      Let me know if that doesn't work.

        Thank you for your answers.  I am embarrassed that I missed the fact that the instructions clearly indicated that I needed to be on 1Password.com to change a family member to become a Family Organizer. Thanks for your gentle reminder.  I was able to make this change on the website version as opposed to in the desktop app.   

        Thanks as well for explaining that I should look for the toggle "Prefill username when creating a new login". I did find this.

        Again, many thanks for all of your help.
