Hi, any idea when the current 1Password 8 for Windows, will be out of beta and release as stable version? Thank you. 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

Hi @r1ma I realize it probably isn't a very satisfying answer, but it's the most honest one I can give: when it's ready. We initially had an internal deadline for ourselves set for sometime in September: However with a self-imposed ship date of September 2021, our timeline to bring these apps to stable was starting to look a bit tight. https://blog.1password.com/1password-8-the-story-so-far/ One of our founders, Roustem, later clarified: that was an internal, self-imposed deadline. It is important to have one, otherwise the software will never be shipped. I am happy that we have the public beta finally available. It helps us judge the readiness of the app for official release. At this point, there is no doubt that September will not work. This was in reference to 1Password 8 for Mac specifically, but it may (likely) be applicable to 1Password 8 for Windows as well. I wish I could give you a more definitive answer, but some of these decisions haven't been set in stone yet. Ben

Ben, thanks for the info. I hope 1Password 8 will be released before October 5. Since Windows 11 will be out in Oct 5. Thank you again.

@r1ma: Thank you for the feedback :+1: I don't think you should worry about the Windows version though, as you can certainly run both Windows 11 and 1Password 8 if you prefer.

TGP We have not announced a release date for the stable version of 1Password 8 at this point. Ben

Release date of 1Password 8 please?

"Imminent" was what I saw in the newsletter. Exactly what that means I do not know.

Is there any update on the release date for stable v8 on mac? I have been following the discussion and buzz around this new version, but there seems to be no official release date yet or did I miss it.

Based on a couple of posts in these forums, it seems the official release of v8 for macOS is imminent, likely around mid-April.

Hey folks, just to let you know, the "release candidate" in question became the current version of 1Password 8 for Windows. We don't have any news about a release of the Stable 1Password 8 for Mac yet, but we will definitely be posting here when we do!

Improvements to both apps will continue to come regularly. Some will be shared cross-platform, due to 1Password 8's shared core, and some will necessarily be specific to a given OS (which is a good thing!). Our developers are continuing to add new features and fixes, and we on the Customer Service side will continue listening to your feedback and highlighting where there's room for improvement.

Sorry I can't share any more definite plans about the Mac release yet, but our iterative process here is rolling along, and we hope that the Stable version is one that delights you. 😃

So are people using the Windows version having issues or just the Mac version? Isn’t V8 cross platform? I would love to have the new version but not if it is too buggy!

I think I saw a post where Dave mentioned "next year"?

(Just to set expectations)

I would agree with that, as there are indeed still many issues to fix.

It's not ready yet, so I hope it's not "release candidate" I find new issues each time I open the app (Tonight it failed to unlock for several attempts), I cannot manage vaults at all, I cannot drag items from a search results list into vaults on the left side, there is unlocalized text in the menus, etc.

As i read user cases on the forum the mac version is still in Alpha state, if options/feature on 7.x version are still not in v8 it should not be released.

Since it seems like Windows is your priority, when will you release version 8 for macOS so all your faithful Mac users who supported you over the years can use the new version?
