I have the current version of 1Password 4.4.3 on a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5 and have a copy of Windows 8 running inside of Parallels 8 and would like to copy all my logins and identities to the Windows version I have a license for. I tried exporting the Mac vault and importing it into the Windows version but no luck. Could someone help me? I hope I have given enough info but if more is needed I'd be happy to provide it. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @ssharber,

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble getting your 1Password data to Windows!

    I tried exporting the Mac vault and importing it into the Windows version but no luck.

    Can you please elaborate on what you tried doing, and what happened? Did you use the Export/Import menu options in 1Password for Mac to create a file that you tried to import to 1Password for Windows? If so what format did you choose for the export? Or if you didn't use the Export/Import options, how did you try to get the data from Mac to Windows?

    Have you tried syncing your 1Password data via Dropbox? That's usually the easiest solution. If you'd like to try that, you can follow the steps at these links:

    Yes, Drew I used the export/import options from the Mac and tried to import the 1ipf file into windows and it at first would not work. I tried several times and all it would do would be to create one entry. I just tried it again, choosing the 1pif import option instead of "All" in the format option and finally got it to work. Sorry for the trouble, and thank you.

    Hi @ssharber,

    I'm so glad to hear that you managed to get things sorted out, although I'm sorry to hear it was a bit of a process for you.

    If you want to ensure that these Logins stay synced up between Mac and Windows, you might want to have a look at the links that Drew provided about Dropbox sync. In any case, if you have any further questions or concerns about 1Password, we're happy to help! :)
