            Issues with Legacy 1Password 6 and 7 from Mac App Store

     We are aware of an issue where customers using legacy versions of
     1Password (downloaded from the Mac App Store) may receive an error
     message indicating that the 1Password app is damaged.

   The 1Password team hasn't yet determined the root cause of the issue,
   but it affects only versions of the legacy 1Password 6 and iPassword 7
   downloaded from the Mac App Store, not the current 1Password 8. If you
   encounter the problem, 1Password says that some users have resolved it
   by:
     * Ensuring that the Mac's system time is set automatically in System
       Settings > General > Date & Time (which is nearly always best
       anyway)
     * Restarting the Mac (which only comes second in this list because
       the date and time should usually be set automatically)
     * Removing the Mac App Store version of 1Password and installing
       [2]1Password 7.9.11 from the 1Password site (I'm not sure what
       those running 1Password 6 would want to do)

   Although these legacy versions of 1Password aren't officially
   supported, it's good to see the company stepping up to help users.
   There's also a 50% discount on 1Password 8 subscriptions for those
   upgrading from a standalone license.

   Thanks to the ever-helpful Doug Miller for alerting us to this on
   TidBITS Talk!
