Deployment

Migrate your team from 1Password 7 to 1Password 8 for Mac

Learn how to replace a 1Password 7 for Mac deployment with 1Password 8 using mobile device management.

In early 2027, 1Password 7 will be officially deprecated. After the deprecation, customers who use 1Password 7 apps remain in an offline state, and any changes made in their 1Password accounts won’t reflect in 1Password 7 apps.

To avoid disruptions in your organization, you can migrate your team members to 1Password 8. To do so, you’ll need to remove the deployment of 1Password 7 before you immediately deploy 1Password 8. As long as your team using 1Password 7 with their 1Password accounts, you won’t have to worry about data loss. They’ll be able to sign back in to 1Password 8 and see all of their items.

Important

We recommend that you first follow these steps with a limited group of team members. This gives you the opportunity to see how the process works and make any needed improvements before you make changes that affect your entire team.

Step 1: Migrate your enforced settings

If you have enforced settings in 1Password 7 through your MDM solution, prepare a new configuration profile for 1Password 8. You can refer to the enforcable settings in 1Password 7 as you create your new configuration profile.

Step 2: Remove 1Password 7 from your team’s Macs

Before you can deploy 1Password 8 to your team, you must revoke any app assignments for 1Password 7 and remove it from your team’s Macs.

The steps to revoke an app assignment and remove 1Password 7 will vary depending on your MDM solution. Some solutions, like Intune and Jamf, won’t automatically uninstall an app after you remove an assignment, so you’ll also need to prepare a script or an uninstallation policy to remove 1Password 7. Refer to your MDM solution’s documentation for the best practices on how to perform these steps. You can find resources on removing a deployment in many common MDM solutions in the Read More section below.
