Auto-updated to beta from production download post-install

Thanks for responding GreyM1P

I should clarify I installed from the non-beta but apparently turned on "beta channel" in advanced for updates.

I wonder if the same issue that happened to me didn't happen there, where the production download decided to update to the beta without input from volcom45. I had to, as you wrote there:

[switch] the release channel in the Advanced tab of Preferences […] to change from Beta to Production.

So if I follow your logic that means it's unlikely:

1Password might have previously downloaded a beta update but hadn't installed it yet

Very early on in the 1P 8 cycle I tried the app, which barely functioned then, and removed it, on a different machine. Then I download the production version over a year later, again on a different machine, after being hounded in 1P 7 on practically every screen on what felt like a daily basis.

If this is what happens to people like me I think the officially recommended remediation described above, which I had to be savvy enough to know how to describe and to go here and post it to even get, puts too much of the effort on my side of the equation. I don't recall any indication in the auto-updater it was going to switch release channels from production to beta.

I am willing to try this, but I want to make sure this is worth my time. Are you implying I will not get migrated to production even though I have changed the release channel in the Advanced tab of Preferences from Beta to Production?
