Want to move from Data Guardian 2.1.1 to 1Password 4.4.3

Steve_Jobs

Several years ago agile bits very generously sent me, at no cost, 1PW 3.5.15 to use on my G4 Power Mac with OS 10.4 until I could upgrade to a newer Mac. I promised that when I could update to a newer Mac I'd purchase a new version of 1Password. I now have a new Mac Mini with OS 10.9.5. I'd be delighted to buy 1PW 4.4.3 (I'm using Mavericks [10.9.5]). I welcome all suggestions on how I may transfer my data from either Data-Guardian 2.1.1 or 1PasswordWord 1Password 3.5.15

I would prefer to re-import my DataGuardian 2.1.1 to 1Password 3.5.15 and then transfer to 1Password 4.4.3 or (groan!!) manually transfer my Data-guardian 2.1.1 to 1PW4.3.3. Can someone suggest the best way for me to move to 1Password? I have about 500 log-ins/passwords.

Hi @Steve_Jobs,

What formats can DataGuardian export?

Steve_Jobs

What a fantastic question! Makes me feel very stupid. I checked both DG 2.1.1 (used on my G4 Power Mac with 10.5.8) and DG3.2 (used on my iBook with 10.9.5) and both versions of Data Guardian have a choice to Export to 1Password!! Maybe you can help here though. When I select that export option in either version, the following dialog appears: "Export records to 1Password interchange file. In 1Password, import using the 'Import Assistant' feature'".

Hi @Steve_Jobs,

If Data-Guardian can actually export to a 1PIF file, you would use 1Password's File > Import menu, select your exported 1PIF, and leave the default File Format set to 1Password Interchange Format (.1pif). Does it work if you do that?

I would import into 1Password 4.x and not 3.x.

Mr. C:

:) Your suggestion worked perfectly! I think this information should be included in Agilebits FAQ. The only challenge is, before one Exports from Data Guardian to a .1pif file, the Field Mapping in Data Guardian needs to be completed with their pulldown menu. The settings I chose (others may have slightly different choices) are Title>Name, Notes>Notes, Location>URL, User Name>Login and Password>Password. Now the only problem I have is I cannot find how to pay for 1Password 4.3.3 upgrade. The Agilebits site seems only have a means to pay for 1Password 5. :s

Thank you so much,
Steve

That's great news @Steve_Jobs. Thanks for the follow-up. I'll leave the FAQ update to the AgileBits folks. They'll probably bring closure to the thread, so will probably comment.

Happy New Year.

Hi @Steve_Jobs‌

I'm so glad to hear that @MrC was able to help you through the import process. Could you please clarify a bit what you are hoping to see included in our FAQ? We have a few different places with FAQs listed, could you tell me where you were reading that you would have liked this statement to be included?

Now the only problem I have is I cannot find how to pay for 1Password 4.3.3 upgrade. The Agilebits site seems only have a means to pay for 1Password 5.

I think this question has already been answered in the other thread you created, but if you would like any further clarification on this, of course we're here to help!
