Sketchy update process to 1password 8

I just updated to 1password 8, and 2 icons for 1password appeared at the top of the menu in Safari instead of the old one being replaced by the new one. I had to quit the old one for it to disappear...

Hello @winterludes! 👋

For apps installed outside of the App Store, I believe that the Date Modified field in the Applications folder does not refer to when the app was last updated by a user but refers to when the developer themselves (1Password in this case) last modified that version of the app. I see the same "Sep 1, 2022" date on my Mac for 1Password 8.9.4.

This works the same in other Mac apps. For example, I just downloaded the latest update for Alfred 4 but I see that the Date Modified value is "Jul 15, 2022" because that's likely when Alfred's developers last modified this version of the app.

You can also check to see that you're running the latest version of 1Password 8 by following these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on About 1Password.

I hope that this helps. 🙂
