Safe to Downgrade from 1password 8 to 1password 7?q

Is it safe to downgrade from 1password 8 for Mac back to 1password 7? It's a pain to use and step backwards.

    Switch to 1PW7 and enjoy a working search without an annoying UI, rearanging fields, drag and drop workflows, dates respecting local preferences, password generator in the main programme, ... and many more features that are either missing or hidden behing cumbersome workflows.

    Downgrade? I think you mean upgrade from 1P8 to 1P7.

    Hi. I have been disappointed by 1P8 as well and have re-downloaded 1P7 and it is working fine, as it did before. But when I try to move 1P8 to the bin, I get a message that it can't be moved as it is open. I assume there are common files that are being used. Any useful hint on how to get rid of 1P8 safely and entirely? Thanks Rick

    Thanks! I'm bummed how they really missed the mark on this one. Feels like an Electron app.

    I've been a loyal customer for years and recommended it to many people, but that might change soon.

    Yeah, I’ve done it as have a number of other people without issue. I downloaded 1P7 with 1P8 installed just to make sure 1P7 would indeed work. Over I verified that, I uninstalled 1P8.
