    Welcome to the forum, @jhimom! You don't have to do anything in particular here. That said, 1Password 3 for Mac is VERY old at this point (first introduced in 2009!), and from the limited amount of testing we've done, it hasn't performed well on the last couple versions of macOS, at least. A lot has changed since the days of 1Password 3 for Mac as well, so you're in for a treat! There are currently two ways to use 1Password:

    With a 1Password account:

    • You sign up for an account at the main 1Password  sign-up page.
    • Your subscription includes the 1Password apps across all platforms, with all updates and upgrades for as long as your account is active.
    • Once you sign in to your account in 1Password on a new device, all of your data is instantly available - no need to set up third-party sync.

    As a standalone product (this is what your copy of 1Password 3 for Mac is):

    • You purchase licenses for each platform separately.
    • These licenses include all in-version updates, but a major version upgrade (such as 1Password 7) may require a paid upgrade.
    • You create local 1Password vaults, and if you like, choose how to sync your data. You can set up sync using a third party service (like Dropbox or iCloud.) If you do not set up sync, your data will remain only on your device.

    1Password accounts also include access to your data via a web browser, and per-item backups so you always have a safe copy of your data off of your devices, and can roll back to a previous version of an item if a change is accidentally made.

    Either way, if you have 1Password data you need to bring with you, there's a guide to doing that correctly you should definitely follow. Let us know how you get or, or if you have any questions. :)
