Will 1Password prompt users to upgrade or show that an update is available?

tosch - Don't roll it out. You are going to have 100+ calls complaining about the new version. This is not an equal update / upgrade to v7. It's like another app that is far less than what it is replacing.Save yourself the headache and hassles. You'll just be downgrading back to v7. Don't do it to yourself or your company.

I really hope AB is listening to their customers...

@tosch have you evaluated 1PW v8? im asking because you seem to plan a rollout and not sure if your users will be ok with the limitations for v8.

Hi 1P_Dave, thanks for the hint, I am aware that this is a separate download, this is my main pain point. We do have 100+ installations that auto-update themselves reliably. Now we have to rollout a completely new installation. Why? Especially given the situation that simply using the installer at least in the combination macOS + Safari with 1P extension causes trouble and requires manual steps to mitigate (as we are discussing here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/640858#Comment_640858).

@doray whats the point of upgrading to v8.

Anyone who used v7 is just having troulbles with v8. No backwards compatibility in user interface and usability.
if they force v7 users to upgrade to v8 they will all leave for another password manager.

Maybe if they release v9 properly it would be worth an upgrade. but by then its sure too late for existing customer base

Thank you, Dave, for responding. My question: Will existing customers be notified that 1Password 8 is available?
Ben talked about announcing it via tech news, social media, and 1Password's blog and forum, but there are many customers who don't read the tech news and so on and rely on 1Password to think about those things for them.

@tosch and DavidB

I'm sorry for the confusion, 1Password 8 is a separate download from 1Password 7 and can be installed from our website as Alvin mentioned. My colleague Ben expanded further on our "slow roll" strategy for the release of 1Password 8 for Mac here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/640821/#Comment_640821

I hope that helps. 😊

Dont update to v8 its not ready to be used, despite the fact that the shiny new unusable interface has been hyped by the company

what? no. updates for v7? but, version 8 is unusable for work. do we have to wait for v9? what a mess

I didn't even know 1Password 8 was available, and I try to pay attention to these things. I only found out about it from an article in another publication. Why would 1Password's updater say you're up to date when in fact the app is outdated?

Considering the fact that 1Password states in another thread that there won't be future updates for 1Password 7, I cannot understand why there is not at least the possibility to upgrade from within the tool. It's irritating that the updater states that I am up to date when I am in fact running on an outdated and not further supported major version.
