1Password requires macOS 12 on my Mac

1Password 8 for Mac needs macOS 12 Monterey or later. On 2012 to 2014 Macs it no longer installs or updates.

What it means

Since version 8.10.62, 1Password requires macOS 12. On a Mac that can't get there the installed app stops updating, and a password manager without updates is exactly what you don't want.

Mac (newest macOS it takes)Does it install?
2012 (10.15 Catalina)No
2013–2014 (11 Big Sur)No
Mac mini 2014, 2015 (12 Monterey)Yes
2017 MacBook Pro (13 Ventura)Yes

What you can do

  • At no extra cost: the 1Password extension for Firefox works without the desktop app, and so does 1password.com in the browser.
  • Install Linux: 1Password has an official Linux app (a .deb package for Ubuntu), the same as on Mac, with unlocking for the browser extension.

If you want to keep using this Mac with everything up to date

Linux is a free system that still gets updates on these Macs. With it you get up-to-date apps like Chrome, Steam, Signal or VS Code again, and security patches for the whole system. The ResucitaTuMac Kit installs it for you with a wizard, in English or Spanish, without sending the Mac anywhere: you can keep macOS alongside and choose at power-on.

It's for Intel Macs from 2012 to 2015 and the 2017 MacBook Pro without Touch Bar. One-off payment of €24.99.
