Multiple "1Password.app" files in the Applications folder

I've just updated 1Password on my Mac from V7 to V8. The install went smoothly (although I'm still puzzled why the update couldn't have been run thru the app and required downloading from agilebits.)

Looking at my Applications in Finder, I see the following zip files, and am wondering if all are safe to delete:

  • 1Password 7.app.zip
  • 1Password 7.app.2.zip
  • 1Password.app.zip

Pretty sure about the first two, but no idea on the last one.

1Password Version: 8.10.7
Extension Version: 2.11.0
OS Version: macOS 12.6.6
Browser:_ Safari

    Thank you. All the data seemed to be there, so I've deleted those three zip files.

    Those are copies of the previous versions of 1Password installed. Sometimes you'll see additional zip files from a subsequent install, not always but sometimes. Provided all of your data is available in 1Password 8 then yes you can remove those files by placing them in the bin.

    The installer is setup so you'll always get the latest version of 1Password. It is also responsible for zipping up the previous version. As time goes on additional activities may be added to the installer if needed or possibly removed if needed.
