Hello Mousit,

Thanks for your message. I'm sorry for any confusion caused by my earlier message. This was referring to 1Password .MSI installs to a protected directory where automatic updates are not possible. In those cases, this leaves it to those IT teams to manage updates as needed.

The usual 1Password 8 installs, at a user's discretion, allow automatic updates to be disabled: Settings (Ctrl + Comma) > Advanced > Install automatic updates

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We'd be happy to help.
