Is this in 1Password 8 for Mac or are you seeing this in the browser? The description sounds like the Mac. Are you able to use the sign out option for that account? If not, we can help you reset the entire database on the Mac. Please confirm you have your password and Secret Key and you know your password.

-- Make sure all data is on 1Password.com this is vital to the safety of that data. Any data not saved there would be lost.

  1. Make sure you have your Emergency Kit and know your account password also verify all of your data is on 1Password.com.
  2. Quit 1Password and all browser for good measure. Right-click 1Password in the menu bar (If it's there) and click Quit.
  3. 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

  5. You'll be taken through the setup process.

  6. If you see the option for signing into an old account skip this and use the option for sign into another account.
