Questions about the dialog to update 1Password
6:10 am just one cup of coffee, not an excuse... I just had a pop up asking for my admin user and password. it was the typical dialog we see on Mac. I entered it in. Then thought is this an update to 1password. 1password was locked and I was just surfing the web via safari. I opened 1password and went to "about" and sure enough it was the recent update 8.10.15.
That was very SNEAKY! I don't like to use exclamation marks as I feel they are overused. I know there have been discussions about how you guys do the updates because I know I posted one. You try to shove it down our throat. So you have another approach? I feel stupid not knowing what I was really doing.
Why do you consistently do things that are not an industry standard?

1password is arrogant. You don't get the point.

1Password holds the keys to the kingdom so to speak. It has options just like macOS and most security software to help keep you up to date automatically. You can always configure the settings to your liking. With the potential wealth of knowledge it contains I would recommend keeping automatic updates enabled.
Thank you. but this is not SOP. Standard operating procedure. Again 1password needs to behave like the rest of the world. evidently the default is to automatically install and it should be to "not" auto install.

Hi harczuk - Thanks for taking the time to get in touch. I'd recommend having 1Password set to update automatically, as this will mean that you're always using the version that contains the latest bug fixes and security patches.
If you'd rather 1Password didn't check for updates automatically, you can adjust the setting in 1Password > Settings > Advanced, making sure that "Install updates automatically" is disabled, but this isn't recommended for the reasons above.
