Upgrading to iPhone15 and 1Password8

I'm preparing to move from an iPhone8 to an iPhone15. I'm running 1Password7 on the iPhone8 and would like to upgrade to 1Password8 on the new iPhone15. This is a question about the order in which to make both changes (phone and 1Password version). Do you recommend:

  • I upgrade to version8 on the iPhone8 before moving all data over to the new phone?
  • Or can I move the 1Password7 to the new phone and then upgrade to version8?
  • Or do I not need to move a 1Password app at all - just do a new install of 1Password8 on the new phone and then link to my account running on my Mac?
  • Or something else altogether?

I looked at your page on how to find the 1Password full version number and the Extension Version, but I'm having trouble finding an "About" in Settings.

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 16.7.10
Browser: Safari

    Hello @Cortina1956! 👋

    If you're already using a 1Password account then you likely only need to install the 1Password 8 app on your new iPhone, add your 1Password account to the app, and all of your items will magically appear. However, I can advise more specifically if you tell me the following:

    1. Do you see all of your items when you log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app)?
    2. Do you see a "Primary" vault in 1Password 7 on any of your devices including your old iPhone 8?

    I looked at your page on how to find the 1Password full version number and the Extension Version, but I'm having trouble finding an "About" in Settings.

    You can find the version number using the steps in these guides:

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks very much for your reply.

    • I checked the 1password.com account on my Mac browser (faster to type), and I see all items. Do I need to check the same on my iPhone8 as well (slower to type)? This is at my.1password.com.
    • I do not see a Primary vault.

    I checked both of the links you provided above, but I'm unfortunately still not seeing anything in the 1Password app that matches the description on the iOS page for finding the "About." I've had a look around the various submenus, and nothing there either. I suspect I'm looking right past something ...

    As far as the extension on the iPhone8, I apparently never used it - it's Off.

    My apologies, our articles have all been updated for 1Password 8 since 1Password 7 is no longer supported. However you can check the specific version of 1Password 7 on your iPhone 8 by following these steps:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password 7 on your iPhone.
    2. Tap Settings at the bottom of the app.
    3. Scroll down and look under "Review 1Password". You should see a message telling you what version you're running. The last released version of 1Password 7 for iOS was 7.10.2.

    If you can see all of your items when you log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app) and you don't see a "Primary" vault in 1Password 7 then adding 1Password to your new iPhone only requires two steps:

    1. Install the 1Password 8 app on your new iPhone: Get the 1Password apps
    2. Add your 1Password account to the 1Password 8 app.

    Once you've done this you'll immediately see all of your items appear on your new iPhone. To prepare, I recommend that you download and save your Emergency Kit so that you have the information needed to add your account to your new iPhone when you get it. 🙂

    Thanks very much - everything worked! I assume I can delete the 1Password7 app from the new phone now? Appreciate your help today.

    I'm glad to hear that the instructions helped. As long as you see all of your items in 1Password 8 on your new iPhone then you can remove 1Password 7.

    Let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with. 🙂
