Upgrading a standalone licensed version of 1Password from 4.6.2.626 to 7.3

Hey, @Alliswell!

Also is there a limit of the amount of files and information that you can have in your vault?

There isn't, except for Document items. There's a 1GB limit for those with a 1Password membership.

How much is the license?

A standalone license for 1Password 7 is currently $49.99, but that is our launch special pricing and will end at some point down the line. A 1Password membership (which includes all of the apps across all of your devices, as well as future upgrades), is $35.88/year or $3.99/mo for an individual. We have family and business options as well, if you have family or teammates you want to securely share items with.

If you are hosting my data. How secure is it? That is a ton of users passwords.

Security is our absolute number one priority and always has been. Just like when you sync a standalone vault via Dropbox, your data is fully encrypted end-to-end. We don't know your Master Password, it's never sent anywhere, and it's not stored anywhere on our server. Only you know it. Plus, since we do know our servers would be attractive targets, your data is also encrypted with your Secret Key with a 1Password membership. Like your Master Password, your Secret Key is created locally on your machine, never sent to us, and not stored anywhere on our servers. It makes the encryption for your data stronger so that even if you have a weak Master Password, it's still incredibly difficult (if not impossible, given current computing powers) for anyone to unlock your data. This means that if someone did manage to hack our servers, everything they obtained would be totally useless without first attacking you directly to snag those keys. You can learn more about your Secret Key here and get a general overview of our hosted serivce's security design here. If you're interested, we've also published a technical white paper covering that security design here.

If I install 7.3 and let the software convert my file can I convert it back. Will I lose everything? Can you point me to some instructions?

If you install 7.3 and open your standalone vault, it will convert your data to the OPVault format. You can convert it back, but you don't need to in order to go back to 1Password 4 – 1Password 4 supports OPVault, it just doesn't require that data format like 1Password 7 does. If you choose a 1Password membership instead, you can go back to a standalone vault as well, in either 1Password 7 or 1Password4. If you chose to keep using 1Password 7, but went back to a standalone vault, though, you would need to either keep your account open and signed in or purchase a standalone license to license the app. You can find instructions to return to a standalone vault from a 1Password membership here.

Also is possible for me to have both a subscription and a licensed standalone one.

Absolutely. A 1Password membership includes access to standalone vaults, so you wouldn't be required to purchase a standalone license in addition to your membership. That said, you totally can if you'd like to. As I mentioned above, you do need to have your account signed in to license the app if you choose to go with just a 1Password membership, but where your data is stored depends only on how you set up your vaults. Anything in a vault connected to your account will be synced via our servers, anything in a standalone vault you create in the app is stored locally only by default and can be synced via the third-party service of your choice. Personally, I find choosing one or the other to be simpler, but I know folks who use both and that's totally okay.

I hope this helps, but if you have additional questions, just let us know. :chuffed:
