How do I get my 1password account on my computer?

my computer was infected with a virus and had to be wiped clean. Now I need to get 1password back. I've got dropbox back. I downloaded 1password, and during setup it says it wants to install in my program folders, not in my dropbox folder. Should I just proceed with the prompt defaults and will it all work out in the end?


1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: 3.9.2.10
OS Version: Windows 10 64-bit
Sync Type: dropbox

  • Hi @rwecker,

    Yes, let 1Password install to the Program Files (x86) directory, your 1Password data is stored outside of the program directory. Once it is installed, open 1Password and it should automatically detect your data in the Dropbox folder.

    If not, tell 1Password you have existing data and point it to your 1Password.agilekeychain folder in your Dropbox folder, that should be all you need to do.

    It worked after I restarted my computer. Thank you, this whole thing has been a nightmare for me! One more step towards normalcy, whoo hoo.
