Upgraded to 1Password7 but need to uninstall & delete 1Password6 without harming data. OS 10.15.5

randallmarkt

Right now both versions appear to running, and all my data is duplicated. I want to eliminate duplicates but not lose data. It works, but not very well. MacBookPro. MacOS 10.15.5

Please instruct.

Hi @randallmarkt! Welcome to the forum!

Where do you see the duplicates? In 1Password 6 or in 1Password 7?

randallmarkt

Duplicates only seen in 7.

@randallmarkt:

Thank you for the confirmation. Are the duplicates inside a single vault, or do you have duplicates because you have multiple vaults inside 1Password 7, each with the same contents?

randallmarkt

There seems to be two vaults in 7 with the same contents. Why, I don't know. I never tried to make another vault.

@randallmarkt:

Is the name of one of the vaults Primary perhaps? If it is, this is probably a leftover from before the upgrade.

randallmarkt

Yes, one is called Primary and is shown as "on iCloud". What do I do?

Are you able to login to your account via a web browser using https://my.1password.com ? If so, grab a new copy of your Emergency Kit, if you have not already done so.

On your Mac:

Open 1Password > Preferences > Advanced, uncheck ... Local Vaults ◻ Allow creation of vaults outside of 1Password Accounts.

Tommy, thank you. I got my Emergency Kit, and I followed your instruction to get rid of the Primary Vault. It worked. Now how do I uninstall 1Password6?

randallmarkt

Oops! I just logged into 1Password7 on my iPhone, and the Primary Vault is still there. What to do?

Now how do I uninstall 1Password6?

Just drag the application to the Trash.

You can remove it from there too. To remove your old Primary vault, tap Settings > Vaults > Primary. Then tap Delete Vault.

randallmarkt

Ana, you're wonderful. It worked! Thanks.
