  1. Quit 1Password and all browser for good measure. Right-click 1Password in the menu bar (If it's there) and click Quit.
  2. Open Finder, and click the Go menu > Go to Folder... In the box that appears, copy and paste the following exactly:

~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/

  1. Press Return.

  2. You'll see a folder called Data – right-click on the folder and select Compress "Data".

  3. Drag the original Data folder to the Trash.

  4. Wait a few moments and then open 1Password 8. You'll be taken through the setup process. If you see the option for a suggested account please use the other option to enter the details manually.
