If you wish to be rid of the nightlies please take the following steps. They should get you on the beta train and keep you there.

  1. Make sure you have your 🚒 Emergency Kit and know your account password and all data is contained on 1Password.com.

  2. Quit 1Password and all browsers for good measure. Right-click 1Password in the menu bar (If it's there) and click Quit.

  3. Open Finder, and click the Go menu > Go to Folder...
    In the box that appears, copy and paste the following exactly:


~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password

  1. Press Return.
  2. You'll see a folder called Data – right-click on the folder and select Compress "Data".
  3. Drag the original Data folder to the Trash.
  4. Drag 1Password from the Applications folder to the Trash.
  5. Download a new copy of 1Password from here and install it - https://downloads.1password.com/mac/1Password.zip
  6. Wait a few moments and then open 1Password 8. You'll be taken through the setup process.
  7. Update to the Beta. * if desired.

I also went digging and found an issue that Ben filed about the updater logic not working as intended. This sounds exactly like what you've encountered. My apologies for that. I can't say I have encountered it. It sure sounds like you have. I've add the both of you to the open issue.
