1Password Team1Password for Windows on Arm (Preview)
Oct 10: We're leaving preview! Please migrate to the official build of 1Password for Windows (Arm): https://1password.community/discussion/148614/1password-for-windows-arm. Thanks everyone for your feedback.
Aug 21: Updated the preview build with a version that does not expire. Please uninstall any previous versions of the ARM preview before installing this one.
Hello all!
It's an exciting time for Windows PCs with Microsoft's big announcements this week of the new Surface line, Copilot+ PCs, and, of course, the availability of devices based on the speedy, Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite processor.
Not to be left out of the fun, we'd like to share with you the first preview release of 1Password for Windows on Arm. 💪🥳
Of course, it's already possible to install and use 1Password on Arm-based Windows PCs, but until now the app has run in a slower x86 emulation mode. This is our first Arm-native build of the app, which means it is able to take full advantage of the new silicon.
Early indications are that 1Password for Windows on Arm is blazing fast (and we haven't even got our hands on the new Copilot+ PCs — yet!)
Things to know about the preview release
This preview build for Windows is based on the current stable channel release of 1Password (version 8.11). We are calling it a "preview" for three reasons:
- We have done limited testing on real hardware outside of virtual machines, as the new Copilot+ PCs have only just been announced.
- If 1Password is already installed on your PC, you'll need to uninstall the app before installing the Arm preview.
- Your accounts will transfer over to the preview build, but I strongly recommend setting up a recovery code before uninstalling the app to be safe.
- This build of the app app will not update automatically — you will need to check back here for announcements and future releases.
Apart than these considerations, the build is a complete experience, and you should expect to find the full level of functionality that's already available in 1Password for Windows.

Please let us know how it works for you by sharing your feedback in this thread. The more quality feedback we have, the sooner we'll be able to exit preview and make the Arm version of the app available to everyone. 🔥

Hello folks,
Thanks for checking in. Yes, there will be another ARM build very soon. We've been working on the backend to get you ARM builds on a regular basis alongside the x86 builds as well. We'll share more details as soon as we can.

Second keith15, would be great to have updates here!
The x64 stable version is up to 8.10.46 now with some nice improvements. It has been over a month with no updates for the arm64 version. Even if there are no immediate plans to make stable releases of the arm64 builds, can we get periodical updates in this discussion post?
Or was this arm64 build just an experimental side project?
Is there a plan for stable release of Windows Arm version?

Works perfect on Surface Pro X SQ2 and I can say very stable as well no issues yet.
