Hey @rob_tracy

I want to keep both versions in case there is error in upgrading to version 8.

You can certainly do this. Once you get 1Password 8 installed and can view all data within the newly installed app, you can safely remove 1Password 7. If you have not already and have a 1Password account, save a copy of your Emergency Kit before moving any further.

I hope this helps and Happy Holidays! :)

@rob_tracy On Joshua's behalf, you're very welcome. :)

When I installed 1Password 8 in macOS Ventura in late December, it removed the 1Password 7 Safari extension and zipped the 1Password 7 app.
I'd still like to use the 1Password 7 app, because it allows reordering fields within a record - which I use regularly and find extremely useful.
Can I safely unzip and use the 1Password 7 Mac app, as long as I remove/don't restore the v7 Safari extension?

thanks

It's not recommended, but yes, this should work. I'd recommend completely quitting 1Password 8 first before opening 1Password 7, and completely quitting 1Password 7 before reopening 1Password 8. This should help avoid any conflicts with 1Password in the browser.
