1Password not recognising correct Master Password, stagnating, then denying.

I've noticed weird behaviour today with my 1password on my Mac, I can't get it to open. I also notice it is co-incident with a software upgrade of the application, and an OS Big Sur upgrade. I am returning to the Application trying to resurrect it after a previous occurrence of doubt about my data, and I am anxious again why I can't access my passwords. Would it be an option to delete the app, and download it again and login, my passwords will return from the server?
Thanks in anticipation.

    Do you see multiple helpers of ours in the menu bar? If so, right-click on each and then quit the helper. Try opening 1Password again.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. I launch the 1Password (MacOS app) and it asks me to enter the master password. When I enter the correct master password the app refuses with a NO jiggle. I am able to successfully login thru the iOS app and the 1Password website using the same master password. I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing it again but still the problem persist. The last successful login thru the MacOS app seems to be 5 days ago.
    1Password version: 7.8.2
