    Hi @pcwendyb

    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty. It sounds like in the process of updating Chrome also cleared its local storage, which is where 1Password keeps the Secret Key. There are a few other places you might find it:

    1. On either a digital or physical copy of your Emergency Kit, if you saved one
    2. In one of the 1Password apps that you've added your account to
    3. In a different web browser, where you've previously signed into your 1Password account

    Would any of those be applicable? If so we have a more extensive guide that may help in tracking it down:
