I only have the iOS ver of 1PW (iPad /iPhone)

    There is a longer thread about just your question in the forum. You can start reading that at this link.

    The thread says there is no way to print an entire vault, only individual records, in the iOS version. I myself haven't found the way to even do that, but I'll go look again and see if I can find it this time. But this will prove pretty tedious for backing up an entire vault, if you have very many records. The linked thread does say that you could install the trial version of 1Password on a desktop machine, and get what you are seeking that way. But that won't be a permanent solution, unless you eventually buy a desktop license.

  • Hi @Gsjr,

    As hawkmoth mentioned currently the only way to print an entire vault in one go is to do so from one of the desktop (Mac or Windows) apps (sold separately). There is a trial available.

    Typically we don't recommend paper as a backup, as data in 1Password tends to change frequently enough that they are impractical to keep updated. In addition, having everything on paper (unencrypted) adds another attack vector.

    What we would recommend instead is a digital backup and the 1Password Emergency Kit:
    https://blog.agilebits.com/2014/12/10/1password-emergency-kit-3-0/

    We use an open data format, so even if AgileBits were to disappear off the face of the planet tomorrow, and 1Password updates/support with it, it would still be possible for someone to create a utility that could decrypt your data using your Master Password. And people have. [Note: this would be advisable only in a 'worst case scenario' situation, we normally cannot recommend typing your Master Password into anything other than 1Password]

    Thanks.

    I haven't been able to find how to print a single record in iOS version 5 either. Google tells me that such a capability once was there, then removed, then restored. But if my inability to find out how to print a single record is any indication, it must have been removed again.

  • hawkmoth,

    It is there, but isn't super accessible. The print function is accessible from the "Share Login" link at the bottom of each login item. I had to scroll the 2nd row of options in order the see the "Print" option.

    So it is. Thanks.
