Local mac Password no longer working after upgrading from 7 to 8

Hi @boston:

Thanks for reaching out. The way 1Password 7 unlocked is as follows:

• If a Primary vault exists, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that vault, regardless of what, if any, memberships are signed in
• If a single 1Password membership is signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that membership account
• If multiple memberships are signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password of the first added membership

Given this, creating your local vault would have made you use the first option. 1Password 8 doesn't support standalone vaults, and only unlocks with the 1Password account password you use. When you sign in to my.1Password.com, your account password is never sent to us. We use something called Secure Remote Protocol to ensure that you can authenticate to us, without our servers ever knowing what your password is.

It's important to note that we can't recover your 1Password account password for you, so it should be something you'll remember. Using the memorable password generator in 1Password will generate a password that's both random, but memorable: How to choose a good 1Password account password
