    Completely Uninstalling 1Password

    If something is going wrong and you want to start with a fresh installation, or you are selling your Mac, you may need to completely uninstall 1Password and all its support files.

    Using 1Password Uninstaller

    The easiest way is to use the uninstaller application.

    1Password Uninstaller App

    You can download it here: Download 1Password Uninstaller

    Simply click the Uninstall 1Password button and all 1Password files will be deleted. You will see Complete message at the end:

    1Password Uninstaller Completed

    By default the application preferences and your data file will not be removed. You can send them to Trash by selecting the checkboxes. Please note that if you delete these files by mistake, you can still recover them from the Trash.

    Uninstalling 1Password Manually

    You can also remove 1Password manually. 1Password consists of several pieces:

    The following steps detail how to remove each of these items.

    Removing the Browser Extensions

    To remove all the browser extensions:

    Removing Scripting Addition

    To remove scripting additions:

    Move the Library > ScriptingAdditions > 1Password Addition.osax to the Trash.

    Removing the 1Password Application

    Use Finder to move 1Password.app from your Applications folder to the Trash.

    Removing Application Support Files

    Move the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder to the Trash.

    Removing the Keychain

    1Password’s data file is stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and was therefore likely deleted in the previous step. However, if you stored the file elsewhere on your hard drive, you can search for 1Password.agilekeychain and delete that file.

    IMPORTANT: This file contains all the information you added to 1Password and it will be lost if you delete this file.

    Removing Data File Backups

    1Password’s data file backups are stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and were therefore already removed when you deleted that folder. If you migrated from an older version of 1Password, you can also check for and delete the Library > Keychains > backup folder.

    Removing Application Preferences

    Move the Library > Preferences > ws.agile.1Password.plist file to the Trash.

    Removing 1PasswordAgent LaunchAgent

    Move the Library > LaunchAgents > ws.agile.1PasswordAgent.plist file to the Trash and then restart your Mac.
