Hi,
I got a new computer and was installing 1Password. To my surprise the installer said 1 password detected your user account and displayed my email / account in the dialog. How did it do this given that I was installing it on a new computer?

Thanks

1Password Version: 7.4.1 (70401002)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OSX 10.14.6
Sync Type: Not Provided

    Hi @sjivan!

    If you have a 1Password Membership, your account email is stored in your iCloud account to make it easier for you to configure a new device without having to enter all the information manually.
