In terms of the 1Password licence, it depends a little bit on where and when you bought it. We changed our licensing model on March 22nd, 2016 to include both Mac and Windows in a standard single-version 1Password licence; if you purchased 1Password after that date, you're entitled to install and use 1Password 4.x for Windows as well. A license for 1Password 7 for Mac does not include a license for 1Password 7 for Windows or other versions of 1Password. If you installed 1Password 6 or earlier from the Mac App Store 1Password 6 won’t automatically update to 1Password 7 if you installed it from the Mac App Store. 1Password 7 is available on the Mac App Store as a separate.
The newest version of 1Password for Mac was released in May 2018. 1Password 7 for Mac is available as part of a 1Password membership or as a standalone license. It supports 1Password accounts and advanced sync options, like iCloud, Dropbox, and the WLAN server.
1Password 7 for Mac is included with your subscription if you have a 1Password membership, or if you belong to a team or family account.
If you purchased a license for 1Password for Mac on or after March 27, 2018, your license also applies to 1Password 7. If you purchased a license before then, you’ll see two options in the app when you upgrade:
- Try a 1Password membership free for 30 days, which includes 1Password 7.

An example of the folder structure for 1Password metadata files
1Password for Mac creates a separate metadata file for every item. The files are located in the following folder:
Inside that folder are subfolders. The name of each subfolder is a vault identifier, one for each vault.
Inside those subfolders are the metadata files. The name of each file includes both the vault identifier (
vaultUUID
) and the item identifier (UUID
):Each file contains key-value pairs in JSON format. An example of the contents of a 1Password metadata file:
