I have 1Password 6.5.3 and wonder why something called onepassword4-helper is running.

I think it's part of 1Password Mini, but why is it "4" and not "6"? Is that an obsolete version of the helper app?
Thanks!

    Hi @aeneid,

    Sorry for the confusion about that! You're correct - the "helper" is 1Password mini. Don't worry, it's not obsolete: We included the '4' in the name when we first released 1Password 4 from Mac because it was completely separate from version 3 (we rewrote it from the ground up). But versions 5 and 6 were updates to version 4, so they look for the same components, data files & folders, etc. Changing the name of the helper process could actually have caused lots of problems, and there was no real benefit to doing that, so it still has the '4'.

    If you have more questions or need anything else, be sure to let us know! :)
