Downgrading 1Password 8 to 7, what are these files in the trash? 1Password 7.app.zip, 1Password 7.17

edited October 7 in 1Password 3 – 7 for Mac

I had 1Password 7 installed on macOS, then I installed 1Password 8 by downloading the app from 1Password.com. When I completed installation, 2 files automatically showed up in the trash on macOS:

1Password 7.app.zip

1Password 7.1728249556.0571

I took them out of the trash and unzipped "1Password 7.app.zip" which gave me the file "1Password 7". What's the difference between these 2 files and which should I put in my applications folder to resume using 1Password 7? I just wanted to test out 1Password 8 so I could help a family member out who is using 1Password 8, so I didn't migrate my data. How do I undo this so I can continue to use 1Password 7 without issue? I'm going to be moving to another password manager eventually because I need offline vaults but I'm not ready to abandon 1Password 7 yet as I have critical data relying on it.

    To clarify, I'm confused by the difference between these 2 files:
    "1Password 7" (377.7mb)
    "1Password 7.1728249556.0571" (198.5mb)

    When I looked at my system applications folder on time machine, prior to installing 1Password 8, the only 1Password related file was "1Password 7" but it was 198.5mb.

    You can install 1Password 7 directly using the following link. Or you would keep the copy named 1Password 7.app.zip.

    https://c.1password.com/dist/1P/mac7/1Password-7.9.11.pkg

    eventually because I need offline vaults

    1Password 8 has offline vaults just as 1Password 7 did. When you come online (from being offline) any changes will be synced just as 1Password 7. Do you have any questions I can help you with?
