Section 2.1: 1Password App for Mac & Windows - Installation

Installation can be done via two methods:

We will cover both here, but for convenience we recommend using the Self Service app.

Note: for Windows, you will need to do this process manually as there is no Self-Service app for Windows. This guide is intended for Mac but the general steps are similar.

App Install Method 1: Self-Service.app (recommended)

Installing 1Password app using the Self-Service app

Mosyle is a mobile device management system that allows us to deploy apps to managed devices without using Apple's Mac App Store. It's like a smaller "app store" that we curate to make installation easier. This curated "app store" can be found in the Self-Service app.

Step 1: Open the Self-Service app

Find the Self-Service app on your Dock and click to run the app. If the app is not located on your Dock, you can find it in the Applications folder using Finder. You can also quickly launch the app from Spotlight by using Command + Spacebar (⌘+ ).

Once the Self-Service app is running, click the Your Apps tab. 1Password 8 should appear at the top. If it's not there, scroll until you find it or search by name.

📌

Note: Please make sure you are installing 8 and not 7. Version 7 should no longer be available, but verifying you are installing version 8 is a good idea.

Step 2: Install Now

Click the Install Now button and wait for the process to complete.

Step 3: Open 1Password

Once the installation has finished, run the 1Password app. You can find the 1Password app in one of two ways:

📌

Reminder: Default keyboard shortcut is Command + Spacebar (⌘+ ) to bring up Spotlight, then type "1pass" and press return.

Step 4: Place 1Password on the Dock (optional)

For convenience, you may wish to place the 1Password app icon somewhere else on your Dock. This step is optional but recommended.

Step 5: Proceed to Section 2.2!

Continue to Section 2.2 to sign into the app and configure it. If you have any questions, contact IT for help.

⚠️

Note: We do not recommend the full manual approach, but it is an option. We recommend using the Mosyle Self Service app method. If you have already installed the 1Password app, skip to Section 2.2 to sign in.

Step 1: Download

Click on the corresponding link, depending on your OS:

Mac: https://downloads.1password.com/mac/1Password.zip

Step 2: Install

 Mac

Open the 1Password.zip file, and then run 1Password Installer app.

📌

Note: Depending on your Finder settings, the app name may not include the .app filename extension. It may also be automatically unzipped for you, in which case you will only see the Installer app and not the .ZIP file.

You may encounter a warning that the app is downloaded from the internet. This is normal. Hit Open to continue.
