How to uninstall 1Password on a Mac.

By Grant and Brad, who make Pangalin's apps · Updated 10 October 2026

Removing the 1Password app is a drag to the Trash. Its local data stays until you remove it too, which 1Password describes, with an important warning.

Uninstall 1Password

1. Quit 1Password from its menu-bar icon. In 1Password 7, choose Quit 1Password Completely.
2. Drag 1Password from Applications to the Trash.

Remove its local data (optional)

Check first. 1Password warns this removes all your local 1Password data, including backups. Make sure your vaults are on another device or in your 1Password.com account before you continue.

In Finder, hold Option and choose Go › Library, then move these to the Trash:

• In Application Support: folders with “1Password” in the name.
• In Preferences: files with com.agilebits or com.1password in the name.
• In Containers: folders with com.agilebits or 1Password in the name. Keep 1Password for Safari and com.1password.safari if you still use 1Password in Safari.
• In Group Containers: 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits or 2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password.

Then empty the Trash and restart. The browser extension is removed separately, in each browser.

Afterwards

• Check System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions for anything still named 1Password; see login items. An app that's still in your Trash can stay listed there until you empty the Trash or restart; that's normal macOS behaviour.
• Empty the Trash when you're sure. Emptying the Trash is permanent.
