Hello marksteffen! 👋

Thank you for reaching out. Can you tell me a little more about how you uninstalled 1Password 7? Did you drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash and then empty the Trash before restarting your Mac?

I've seen reports of 1Password 7 being reinstalled from a few other users and the cause has always turned out to be software that their employer had installed on their Mac to force 1Password 7 to reinstall and stay installed. Are you using a personal Mac or a work Mac? If you're using a work Mac then can you check to see if your IT department might have set a policy that forces 1Password 7 to install itself on your Mac?
