Move from Logins to Accounts

jay_kexp

Hey all. How can you do a move of an item from Logins to Accounts? We are migrating from KeePass, and used the CSV file to export/import, but it put everything into "Logins" which doesn't make sense for our database entries and such.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi @jay_kexp,

At the moment, it is not possible to convert items into different categories, especially Logins.

Are you using these items to log into websites or database programs by any chance? If so, you should leave it as Logins, so that you can use 1Password's Auto-Type feature to fill your data into your programs and/or websites, especially with application logins.

@MrC might be a better solution of using your CSV file to modify the data, convert it to our export format (1PIF) to tag them with specific item type before you start the process of importing into 1Password.

@jay_kexp ,

I have converters for both KeepassX and KeePass2. Which program and version are you using?

jay_kexp

We are using KeePass2

MrC

@jay_kexp ,

Ok, great. The converters will convert your data for you, using a more robust XML export.

You're asking about getting the data placed into "Accounts". KeePass2 really only supports Login records, and has extra fields. How are you thinking you'd like to differentiate the records such that some go into other 1Password categories?

jay_kexp

Yes, there are some accounts that we want to go to Logins, such as websites and such, and others to Accounts. I was thinking that there would be a way to differentiate on import, or import from separate files to different areas.

Thanks for the link to the converters, hadn't seen that!

@jay_kexp,

The categories under Accounts are rather specific to 1Password for Windows. Upon export / re-import, and perhaps syncing, into a Mac, some of these get converted into Logins. I don't know the long term plans for these categories, nor the complete list of categories moving forward.

jay_kexp

ah, ok, didn't realize that the PC and Mac are different. Will check this out on a Mac for parity

Hi guys,

@jay_kexp, you can ungroup the Accounts and Wallet groups via the View Menu in the 1Password for Windows to get the full list of categories. There are certain categories that the Mac and iOS versions will convert to Logins automatically to keep it in sync with the new OPVault format.

thanks @MikeT Is this to make the two versions (mac and PC) look closer?

MikeT

Hi @jay_kexp,

Correct, we've gotten rid of the groupings in the later iOS and Mac versions.

jay_kexp

Good idea. Thanks for the tip. Does clean things up.
