1Password 8 Beta Opt Out

How do I downgrade from the 8 Beta to the stable release 1Password 8? I tried uninstalling and deleting the app and downloading the stable release but when installing it said that I've previously had a newer version installed before and I need to use that version. So it's forcing me to download the beta link and use that.

1Password Version: 8.8.0 80800011, on BETA channel
Extension Version: version 2.3.3
OS Version: 12.3.1 (21E258)

    Following all the instructions on https://support.1password.com/uninstall-1password/ (basically deleting every trace of 1Password), then re-installing did the trick for me. Would be nice if they provided an actual uninstall script, given how many manual deletes are needed, but at least those steps work.

    Hi both,

    If you're seeing a "you've used a newer version" dialog box pop up, you don't need to remove all of 1Password 8 to fix this. Here's what to do:

    1. Right-click the 1Password icon in the menu bar (if it's there) and click Quit.
    2. Open Finder, and click the Go menu > Go to Folder...
    3. In the box that appears, copy and paste the following exactly:

    ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/

    and press Return.
    4. You'll see a folder called Data – drag this to the Desktop.
    5. Wait a few moments and then open 1Password 8. You'll be taken through the first setup process again.

    Hope that helps!

    this works for me. Thanks! I was a dummy and couldn't see the "group containers" folder but i guess i had to paste in the address in case anyone else has the same issue

    @ag_will @ag_tommy Thanks for this - can we delete the "Data" folder after dragging it to the desktop?

    Provided you can login and your data is present, yes.

    Hmmm, I tried this, and it walked me through the setup process again, and in the "About" menu I was still on the Beta. Do I need to revert that before following the steps in Will's post? Thanks for any help!

    So I followed Will's instructions again, but I first deleted the 1Password app after step 1. That did the trick, and I'm now on the Production build.

    Thanks for sharing, @cyberskier. Glad to hear that did the trick.
