Spun up a VM and everything looked okay. Upgrading now and will report back with real data.

Everything seems to be working just as well as it was with 14.x, including autofill in Safari. 😅

Hello @JoshS! 👋

Thank you for sharing your experience using 1Password 7 on macOS 15 Sequoia. With the launch of 1Password 8 for Mac, 1Password 7 for Mac is no longer supported and hasn't been tested with macOS 15 which means that you might run into issues that I'm not aware of.

I recommend that you upgrade to 1Password 8, which has been tested with macOS 15 and is in active development, so that you can take advantage of the latest features and bug fixes: Upgrade to 1Password 8

Hello @Dave_1P ! I completely understand. I've made it clear before. I do not, and will not ever, pay a subscription for software. Period. I will gladly pay outright for software, even annually. And I did for many years with 1PW. I'll pay a subscription for things that provide new content, such as NetFlix. But, pardon my french, I think the subscription model for software is complete BS. It's dystopian. I own the software. I own my passwords. You're not adding more content. It's just continued access to my own passwords. I'm glad 1Password 7 continues to work with the newest OS update. I know the day is coming that it won't. On that date, I will stop using 1Password. If you ever release a standalone future version of 1Password, I will gladly pay for it on day one.

Edit to add: Let me give you a hypothetical. Let's say that AgileBits goes out of business. No support. No future versions. No updates. High likelihood that a future OS update will break compatibility. I'm, effectively, living that hypothetical now and have been for ~4 years? I have software and, for now, it's working almost as it was the day I bought it. If I were a subscription customer and the same hypothetical happened, I would still have the local static cache of my passwords on devices I currently own. But the software effectively ceases to function. If my device breaks or I get a new device, there's no way to transfer that data to the new device. No way to update my passwords or add new ones. It's a software model that I think is inherently anti-consumer and it's not something that I'm willing, myself, to pay and encourage in the industry.

I'm glad to hear 1Password 7 continues to work for your needs.

So you can confirm that 1Password 8 works with macOS 15.0? Good to hear if true.

@ozarkcanoer

I can confirm that 1Password 8 works great with macOS 15. I'm using it currently. 🙂

I'm still using 1Password 7 as well for two reasons.
1 - It's a Mac app through and through. Electron apps are slow and 8 doesn't work like 7. There are little differences. 8 has gotten a lot better, but you can just tell that 7 was made for macOS and 8 is "made for all".
2 - No more local vaults. No way am I going to trust anyone's encrypted servers with my data.
If only you all would allow us to host our own vaults on a locally hosted 1password server, then I'd be game to move over.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. If you do try 1Password 8 again in the future and see performance issues then please send an email to support+forum@1Password.com and the team can investigate further.

If you'd like, you can share your interest in a self-hosted version of 1Password here: Self-hosted 1Password kick-starter

Hi @JoshS! 👋

Everything seems to be working just as well as it was with 14.x, including autofill in Safari. 😅

That sounds great. :)
Because i've got problems with Version 7 under Sequoia.

After the update (Sequoia 15.1.1) a WiFi-Sync isn't possible anymore.

The sync interface under iOS can no longer find the Mac. Under macOS 14.x, the Mac to be synchronized with appears.

Can you tell me, how can i make it going again?

1Password Version: 7.9.11
Extension Version: 4.7.5.90
OS Version: macOS 15.1.1
Browser: Chrome/Brave

Thanks in advance.

Best
Tom

@ObserverDE Unfortunately, I have never used WiFi-Sync with 1Password. I don’t know if something is misconfigured, something specific to your setup, or some functionality actually broke during the OS upgrade.

If it’s the latter, we’re on our own. We can either find works-arounds, migrate to a different product, or “upgrade” to a new version of 1PW. In this case, to a version of 1PW that explicitly doesn’t support your existing use-case (WiFi-sync) that is currently not working.

@ObserverDE

WLAN sync is an old advanced legacy sync feature in 1Password 7 which is no longer supported and that we can't provide assistance for beyond the scope of these articles:

• How to use the WLAN server
• If you're having trouble using the WLAN server

Our recommendation is to use a 1Password account moving forward which handles sync automatically: Sync your 1Password data

Thanks guys for the quick replies and the advices for my case.

Today, I have something new to report, which will certainly be of use to other users.

Because, the Wifi sync is working again! :)

I installed the update to 15.2 yesterday.

Apparently Apple has changed something in the settings (information about this is always very scarce), but it has led to the Mac being recognized as a partner again and the sync is working smoothly again.

All the best ...

I'm using 15.2 and it's not working for me. What specifics do you have on any of the fixes?

ObserverDE

Hi Steffi,

specifics? Which one do you mean?
I would say the normal ones. :)

1Password 7 on Mac: Version 7.9.11 (70911000)
1Password 7 on iPhone: Version 7.10.2
OS Version: macOS 15.2
Extension Version: 4.7.5.90
Browser: Brave/Chrome: Version 1.73.105 Chromium: 131.0.6778.265

Hope that helps. :)
Otherwise please come back to me.
