Are you presently syncing your data? I use a 1password.com membership and install 1Password and sign in with my account credentials and a new set of data is downloaded. You may be in a different situation. Please let us know more about your setup.

It sounds like you just install 1Password in a new computer without worrying about the old computer. Is that correct?
Yes, I do use iCloud to sync, so I suppose if I install 1Password onto my new computer and then sync with iCloud, all will be OK.
Thanks for your help

If you are getting rid of the old computer Apple has a guide on how to best do that:

We'd highly recommend a 1Password membership as not only do you get the latest versions of 1Password, but you also get hassle free sync built-in. Once set up with a membership all you have to do when getting a new device is download the app and sign into your 1Password account:

If you'd like to try sticking with iCloud for now, then you can find instructions for that here. I hope that helps!
