Intel vs M Series versions
How can I tell if I'm running the Intel version or the Apple Silicon version of 1 Password? I have a MBP M3 Pro series.
Thank you for the reply. I am running the Intel version and do need to switch. How should I proceed?

Hi kentsimms,
Great question! Open your Applications folder, right click on 1Password, then select Get Info. In the Kind field, it'll say "Apple silicon" if you're running that version.
If you discover you're running the Intel version and need help switching, just let me know!
