    Perhaps you could let me know exactly where ALL 1Password related files or extensions are located on my hard disk locations. 1Password has been my leading applications for many years

    @Metabetchouan this knowledge base article should help you:

    Where does 1Password store its data?

    Note that the answer differs depending on whether you're running the Mac App Store version of 1Password or the AgileBits store version.

    Hi @Metabetchouan,

    I'm sorry you're having some difficulty with 1Password! The link from Stephen's reply is actually a bit older now and no longer works - but that's ok, because I don't think it would have helped in this situation:

    You referred to an error message that says something to the effect of "1Password mini file could not be found." Just to be clear, 1Password mini is not your data file. 1Password mini is a component of the main 1Password app, and is really the "brains" behind 1Password. If you have the 1Password browser extension installed, that allows 1Password mini to communicate with your web browser in order to fill web forms, save Login items, etc. Your data isn't actually stored in the 1Password app or 1Password mini though - it's stored elsewhere on your Mac. If you're getting an error message about 1Password mini, your data should be fine, and we just need to figure out why mini isn't working.

    Can you please let us know more details about the error? For example, what steps do you take that result in seeing that message? When did it start to happen? Also, what is the exact message? If possible, it would be great if you could take a screenshot of that. To include it in your reply, simply click the document button in the top of the comment field, and select the file you wish to share:

    This could turn out to be something that is easy to fix. Once we have a better idea of what's happening on your end, we should be able to help solve it. Thanks in advance! :)
