What is 1PasswordAgent and why is it an Intel app?

I installed 1Password 7 on a new M1 Mac. I noticed in the Activity Monitor that there is a 1PasswordAgent process that is listed as Intel. I thought that 1Password had been completely converted to Apple Silicon. I was wondering what this process is for and if it has been installed correctly on my Mac.


1Password Version: 7.8.6
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 11.4
Sync Type: iCloud

    I suspect what happened is that although I did a clean install on the new Mac, I did restore my account from a backup. The files that rudy mentioned were in ~/Library (both the app and the plist that launches it) so they would have been copied that way.

    On behalf of Rudy, you are welcome @dhornig!

    I wonder how it got here since I did a clean OS install on this Mac.

    After the clean installation, did you perhaps recover some files and folders from a backup? I wonder if you might have transferred some old folders too in the process.

    rudy,
    Thank you for the information. I wonder how it got here since I did a clean OS install on this Mac. But your instructions were very helpful helpful.
