I am deathly afraid of losing all of my passwords if I try to upgrade to ver 8. I am using V 7.9.4

Hello grandpamike! 👋

I can empathize with your nervousness, sometimes you can run into all sorts of pitfalls when updating to a new app. 1Password 8 is different from other apps since all of your items are backed up to 1Password.com and you can always restore your data from there if something were to go wrong on your Mac. The installer from our website will make sure that your account is transferred to the new app and you'll see all of your items in 1Password 8 once you finish the installation and unlock the new app using your account password. You can download 1Password 8 directly through our website:

Please let me know if you run into any issues with installing 1Password 8 from our website and I'll be happy to help further. 😊
