Uninstall 1Password 7 before installing 1Password 8?

Nice, thanks. Why is the Safari extension so huge and living in the Apps folder? It doesn't bundle into Safari or Library for it somewhere? No big deal, just wondering.

Hey @jsegel

Yes, you can remove the zip file. It's just a copy of the previous app. We zip it up on installation to prevent unintended situations. Both 1Password and 1Password for Safari would indeed be in the Applications folder.

The installer seems to have left a zipped file of 1Password7 in the Applications folder. Any particular reason? Can I toss it? It's sort of annoying to have now three 1Password entities in the Applications folder, the 1Password app (v.8.8.0), 1Password for Safari (! another 184MB) and 1Password 7.app.zip.

Hi @thanirs:

1Password 8 is an entirely new app, and since it behaves slightly differently, we wanted to make sure upgrading to 1Password 8 was a choice made explicitly, rather than an auto-update to 1Password 7.

Why do I need to setup 1Password 8 again if I already have 1Password 7.x? This doesn't seem like a great user experience.

We're glad this was helpful, @Jrok77. Best regards from our team! 👋

Got it. Thank you.
