Getting error: "c:\...\Dropbox\Apps\1Password\1Password.agilekeychain" is not a 1Password Vault

srjones5

After reading about the dropbox security breach, I permanently deleted my 1Password.agilekeychain file from dropbox, thinking it was just for synchronization. But now when I try to login to the 1Password app on my HP Envy laptop, I get an error message stating "c:...\Dropbox\Apps\1Password\1Password.agilekeychain" is not a 1Password Vault. I can't find any backups on my laptop newer than 3/24/16 (not sure why the backups stopped at that date).

Note: I can still access a current read-only version of my 1Password on my android phone (have turned off wifi and data for fear of sync deleting the passwords). I would love to create a backup from my phone, but I don't think I can do a backup from it, since it is the read-only version.

Is there a way to export the data from my phone and recover it on the laptop?

And just to be clear, for the good of you or anyone else who might consider deleting their own data, your 1Password vault is end-to-end encrypted, so 1Password simply doesn't depend on the sync service to protect your data. 1Password is secure by design, not by chance. So even if someone were to access your Dropbox account, they'd still need your Master Password to decrypt your 1Password vault.

Send an email this morning, but not sure it was received so re-posting here.....Hi Brent,

Unfortunately, I permanently deleted the files. They are no longer in the Deleted Files folder. But there,evidently, is some version of the files on my phone, since I'm able to still view them on my phone. But I only have the read-only version on my phone. Any way to back-up or export the files from my android phone?

Thanks,
Sherry

Thanks, Sherry! I see that we've received your email, so we can continue the conversation there. I've asked one of my colleagues for a second opinion on this since, as this seems to be the only copy of your data at this point, we need to carefully consider all options before doing anything hasty. We'll get back to you shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Great. Thank you! I have about 425 passwords in it so manually writing them down would be rather tedious. At this point, I'm just thankful to even have that option!
