Hello ghostdog​! 👋

Thanks for reaching out. I wonder if the 1Password app isn't being closed properly when the update occurs. Can you try the following: 

  1. Close all open web browsers. 
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen and then click Quit. 
  3. Update the app using Homebrew. 


Do you see the same crash? 

That being said, 1Password does include a built-in updater that handles updates when you install the app from our website. Is there a reason why you're installing and updating 1Password using Homebrew? 1Password is officially available only through our website.

I'll try that on the next upgrade.

I don't remember if I quit the app from completely and the browser.

Like eestolano says, I like install and keep control of the apps with brew, is so easy and I don't need visit any site.

    Thanks for the reply. When installed from our website, 1Password for Mac updates automatically and there's no need to visit the website to check for updates.
