Hi @oksoftware:

Thanks for asking about this. The short version is that 1Password 8 now unlocks only the accounts that share an account password, rather than the first account to be added unlocking all accounts. We generally recommend using the same account password across any 1Password accounts you may have.

Jeffrey, our Principal Security Architect, and Roustem, one of our founders, elaborate a little bit more on why this changed in 1Password 8 here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/608291/#Comment_608291

Glad to hear you got it sorted @PolarSuns! :smile:
