1Password 6
1Password 6 is a password manager and secure vault for macOS that stores login credentials, payment card details, secure notes, and other sensitive information in an encrypted local database. It provides browser extension integration with Safari and Chrome, auto-fill of passwords, secure password generation, and the ability to organize passwords into customizable vaults. 1Password 6 was widely used by individuals and small teams as a standalone application with a one-time purchase license model. The app is no longer actively developed or supported by AgileBits, the company behind 1Password.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestion1Password 6 has been discontinued and will not receive further updates from AgileBits. More importantly, it is an Intel-only app with no native Apple Silicon build, which means it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028). At that point, you will lose access to your passwords unless you migrate beforehand. The recommended path is to upgrade to 1Password 7, which is a Universal Binary running natively on Apple Silicon Macs and remains compatible with recent macOS releases. If you have a standalone license for 1Password 6 or 7, note that AgileBits discontinued standalone licensing with the release of 1Password 8 and now requires a subscription; however, 1Password 7 is still fully functional and will continue to be usable after macOS 28. To upgrade from 1Password 6, download the 1Password 7 installer from the vendor's site, install it, and import your vaults from your 1Password 6 backup — the process is straightforward and your encrypted data remains secure throughout.
