Hello @staypufd! 👋

The preferences for the 1Password 8 for Mac app are stored in a JSON file and you can modify the JSON file in order to reset the "Don't ask again" option for the "Archive this item?" pop-up. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Finder, and click the Go menu > Go to Folder...
  2. In the box that appears, copy and paste the following exactly:

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

  1. Right-click on "settings.json" and click Open With > TextEdit
  2. Find the "app.SkipArchiveAlert" entry in the list and change "true" to "false"
  3. In TextEdit click File > Save. Then close TextEdit.

The next time that you try to archive an item the pop-up will appear. Please let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
