Is it possible to roll back to an earlier version after upgrading to what I now realize is a trial version of 1Password 4?

    Hi @Kiki,

    I'm sorry that you're not loving 1Password 4 so much you just have to have all the shiny new features, but I understand. :) It certainly is possible to downgrade to 1Password 3. Here's what you want to do:

    Now, we want to make sure that your 1Password 4 data is in a format that 1Password 3 can read before removing 1Password 4:

    • Make a backup of your 1Password 4 database (File > Backup) ... just to be safe.
    • Go to Preferences > Sync and change syncing to Folder Sync (use ~/Library/Application Support/1Password/ as the sync location) or Dropbox.
    • Use Command - Control - Q to quit 1Password 4 and the 1Password Mini
    • Open a Finder window to the path above (or Dropbox) and find your 1Password.agilekeychain
    • Right-click on the 1Password.agilekeychain and select 'Open in 1Password 3'.

    Once you confirm that your data is safely transferred into 1Password 3, you can remove 1Password 4.

    Important: to remove 1Password 4, drag the application to the Trash. Do not use any app cleaners.

    You will also need to uninstall any version 4 browser extensions you have installed and install the version 3 extensions: https://agilebits.com/extensions/mac/index.html

    If you don't have a copy of your version 3 license, please let me know and I can track it down in our records for you.

    Please let me know how this works for you! If you run into any snags, we're here to help.
