I have been using Wallet for years and have a ton of data entered (v3.3.1)...can I move to 1Password and import my data?

    @rsm333,

    Which "Wallet" are you referring to? Do you have a link to their site?

    Hi @rsm333,

    I’m sorry that we don’t have a perfect import solution for you at this time. However, it’s still a fairly simple process to get your data from your current password manager into 1Password.

    Here’s my suggestion:

    • Install 1Password and the browser extension.
    • Make sure that the option “Detect new usernames and passwords and offer to save them” is selected in 1Password’s Preferences > Browsers.
    • Use your current password manager as normal.

    Every time you fill a new username and password into a site, 1Password will detect this and offer to save the details. You’ll find that very quickly all of your most important information is stored in 1Password, and you’ll be able to rely less on your other password manager. As for all the lesser used items, this might be a great time to run an account audit of sorts. This is something I try to do every now and then: just check through the list of accounts that I’ve signed up for, and look at the ones that I actually use. I’ll close the ones I don’t need, and update the passwords for the ones that I do. Auditing your existing database as you move it into 1Password means you’ll have a lovely, neat, and up-to-date database, which is a great way to start out. Think of it as a little bit of spring cleaning ... which reminds me, I should probably schedule my own audit for pretty soon. ;)

    I hope this helps!
