Your help documents explain how to accomplish this on Win or Mac version. I don't have 1password for those operationg systems. So how do I get my KeePass DB into 1Password on IOS.

And as a side note, this shouldn't be rocket science. It should be very easily found. But there's no menu anywhere in IOS that I can find to do this. In fact, this actually discourages me from converting from KeePass. Purchase Windows and Mac versions after I have to post the most basic question?

    The KeePass2 or KeePassX database requires exporting, and its export is an XML file that requires converting into something 1P4 can import (CSV or 1PIF). However, there are no importers that I'm aware of for the IOS version (users can't trivially just copy data files to IOS and have an arbitrary App open/act on that file). So you'd have to import the converted XML into, say, 1P4 for Mac first, and then sync to your IOS device.

    Ask if you need help with the converter:

    So, there is no way to import a KeePass DB into 1password only using IOS. I've been using KeePass for years. There's no way I'm going to transfer all those entries by hand. I'm also not going to pay for a windows or Mac version just to do an import. Especially when KeePass is free.

    Guess I'll be asking for a refund.

    I'm aware of any direct importing via the IOS version (I don't work for AgileBits). There are a LOT of wallet programs in existence, and creating converters is a lot of work (I know, I've created half a dozen for 1P4 already).

    However, you don't have to purchase the Mac version - you can trial it, sufficient enough to do the conversion and import:

    The application downloaded from our website will remain fully functional for the first 30 days after you install it. After this initial trial period, you will need to purchase a license to continue using without restrictions.

    I wouldn't give up so easily - 1P4 is pretty awesome. I left KeePass2 a while ago, and have no regrets, nor have I looked back. 1P4 for IOS and Mac really shine.
