3 years agoI upgraded to 1Password 8 on my Mac and it is not recognising my master password. 1Password 7 does
I upgraded to 1Password 8 on my mac this morning but when I tried to login it doesn't recognise my master password.
The same password works fine to access 1Password 7 on the Mac, and on 1Password 8 on all my other devices, but fails for 1Password 8 on this machine, weirdly!

@Ramsteiner – I'm glad to hear that restarting your Mac solved it. It still surprises me to this day how much that can fix. :)

Embarrassed to say a simple computer reboot solved my issue. Not sure how or why but I’ll take it. I did try the alternate method but it yielded the same error message.

@Ramsteiner and @mancilg
I'm sorry that you're both unable to add your accounts to 1Password 8 on your Macs. Can you try the alternate steps that I mentioned in a previous post:
- In your browser, sign in to your account on 1Password.com.
- Click your name in the top right and choose Get the Apps.
- Click "Add your account directly" and allow your browser to open 1Password. You'll see your account details in the app.
- Enter your 1Password account password and click Sign In.
If that doesn't work then are either of you using a VPN or any sort of network proxy?

I am also having the same problem - glad to see it isn't just me. Downgraded to 1password 7 so I would have access to my passwords

I'm having the exact same issue. Any suggestions to resolve this? My iMac was not synching with my other devices so I signed out on the iMac and thought I could sign back to reset the account. Then got the "We weren't able to sign in to your
account. Maybe there's a typo? Check your sign-in details and try again." I know the password and secret key are correct. I can login to 1passowrd.com. I'm on the latest public beta of Mac Ventura and 1password 8.9.6 - 1P_Tommy

The error says "That didn't work. Check your password and try again"I tried the "Add you account directly" option outlined above but I received the same error.
No VPN or proxy, just a standard fibre connection to the internet.
