Installing 1Password 8 via MDM

This is slightly off topic - but I just found out about the launch of 1Password 8 for iOS and Android. It was bad enough that there are user facing migration steps for macOS when we finally get a deployable release, but for iOS to have to require the user to physically delete “1Password” after the installation of “1Password” when both versions display the same to the end user is almost beyond forgiveness from an enterprise perspective.

I’m sure there are good reasons for all this, but the migration to 1Password 8 is going to be long and slow for us.

Same issues here!

It's a bit irritating that 1Password sells business and enterprise plans without proper deployment options via common routines.
.MSI Files are missing and .MSI product codes are switching between versions so that a proper update via Intune isn't possible.
.PKG Files are missing for deployment on OSX and the new installer can't be instructed by commandline to install or update the existing version.

You may understand the pain for system administrator which want to keep their software up to date.

Thank you for following up! Our developers are still working on a MDM-friendly (.pkg) installer however I don't have any public-facing updates to share at the moment.

Hi, I'm curious if there's any update on the status of either a .pkg file that can be deployed via MDM (specifically Jamf in my company's case) or via VPP/App Store?

I'm not aware of any plans to remove the 1Password 7 installer at this time. It can be found on our website here (along with the installer for 1Password 6): https://1password.com/downloads/mac/#legacy-downloads

Hopefully we can share more information in the future. (And I like your profile picture as well. 😄 )

Thanks for the kind welcome and thank you for the update, knowing the wheels are in motion is reassuring.
Re: The profile picture it's an age old tribute, 'the majestic sea cow' and tends to follow me around. :)

I too would like this, but whatever you do at AgileBits, please don't take away any 1P7 installers just yet - There are too many missing features from 1P8 for me to deploy that version to our company, so for the moment, we are staying with 1P7.

Welcome to the family. I do not have a time line to share. My apologies. I do know some work is being done in this regard. Hopefully soon. Off-topic I have to say I love the user picture. I have stared at for longer than I would normally. Thought invoking for sure. 😉

Being that guy, with my first post and bumping this thread to see if anyone else has come up with a homebrew solution while waiting for the .pkg and if there is an ETA.

Just been asked to roll this out on our fleet using WorkSpace One and so far my experiments haven't been fruitful as the transferred app is getting hit by GateKeeper.

+1 Thanks for replying 1P_PeterG. And thanks to the 1Password team for solving a number of significant UX issues in 1Password 7. The latest version is much better.

Curious what % of your business user base has people installing 1Password on their own vs. via MDM? Seems like it would be more MDM than on their own. Hoping for a .pkg soon!
