Hello @tsee! 👋

I've split your comment into a new thread. 🙂

I'm sorry that the upgrade process was confusing. 1Password 8 is more than an update: it’s a brand new app that has been completely rewritten from scratch. For that reason, 1Password 7 will not automatically upgrade to 1Password 8. Once you've confirmed that you can see all of your items in 1Password 8 you can remove the old 1Password 7 app.

Don't forget to turn on Password AutoFill for 1Password 8 so that you can save and fill items:

  1. On the Home screen, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords > Password Options.
  3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords.
  4. Select 1Password.

When I booted 1password 8 for the first time there are a number of "help" type messages that come up in the app. I didn't see one for "Hey 1password7 is still installed adn you can/should delete it at any time" . Is there such an article? Why isn't it the first thing i see when I launched 1password 8 for the first time?

I'm not 100% sure that this is something that the 1Password 8 app can detect due to the app sandboxing that exists on iOS. However, I'll pass this suggestion on to the product team as it certainly sounds like it would be helpful.

Thank you for the feedback and I'm sorry again for the frustration.

-Dave
