Hello passmite​! 👋

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with unlocking 1Password. I know how important it is to be able to access your 1Password data, and the team and I are here to help you get up and running again as soon as possible.

Before I offer more suggestions, can you tell me the following: 

  1. Are you able to log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com
  2. In the 1Password 7 app, do you see a vault named "Primary"? 
  3. Search for a 1Password Account item in your vault. You should see your account password there, does that password allow you to unlock 1Password 8? 


I look forward to hearing from you.
