In 1Password 7 was able to export selected entries - for example: selected (including all) entries from a single vault . 1Password 8 export exports all entries from all vaults in the account even if a single vault or specific entries is selected. Am I missing something? It would be great is 1Password 8 would bring back the Export flexibility that existed in 1Password 7. I know I can create a Collection with a sub-set of vaults (even just a single vault) and export will export all entries only from the the vault(s) in the collection (not all vaults in the account). Did I miss something in the new UI? 1Password Version: 8.7.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

Hello vjcinajr, greetings. 👋 You're correct - the current export feature in 1Password 8 allows you to export by account, but not (yet) selected entries. However, we do have a standing feature request for this with our developers, and I have just added a vote on your behalf with a link to this discussion. Thanks for letting us know that this would be valuable for you, and do let me know if there's anything further we can help with. 😃 ref: IDEA-I-300

Hello ! glad I found this post, i've been looking for the 1Password 7.xx export features, and can't find what i'm used to ! 1. Ability to export a vault, not account 2. Ability to export to iCloud or VSC format and include everything, not just username and password This new 1Password 8 looks like a huge regression, how can we push of the introduction of the previous version export option in the new version as well ? Thanks.

Hi @chenganir, Great question! 1Password 7 supported standalone vaults, which is linked to the reason for the option to export at the vault level. With standalone vaults, it was possible to have one vault syncing through iCloud while a second vault would be syncing through Dropbox. In this case, those two vaults are completely unrelated, and there was no greater hierarchical structure. If you wanted to export all of your data, you'd have to do so one vault at a time. Exporting by vault was not really a defined option in 1Password 7. What did exist was the ability to export at the item level. You could choose to export Selected Items or All Items. Consequently, if you chose to export All items, then all of the items in the selected vault would be exported. With 1Password 8, the highest hierarchical structure is your account, so we've opted to offer export from that level. This is because generally when folks are exporting, they are looking to export all of their data, which could include multiple vaults in their account. I am sorry if this change has disrupted your personal workflow with 1Password. As Peter mentioned, we do have a standing feature request to add the ability to export selected items (which could encompass an entire vault) in 1Password 8, so I have added your vote there. Can I ask about your specific use case of why you would prefer to export a single vault versus your account? Regarding the different export formats, in 1Password 7, the iCloud keychain option was a particular format of a .csv file. In 1Password 8, the iCloud keychain format is the default .csv option. That is to say, the iCloud option is included in 1Password 8 already. Regarding the ability to export all of your data associated with an item, as 1Password items become complex regarding what types of data they can store, we've started to grow past what the .csv file type can do. We have spoken about this before. Therefore, we've opted to develop a new export format, known as the 1Password Unencrypted Export format. This format does include all of the data in a given item. Again, I'd love to hear about your use case for exporting in the .csv format. I'd be interested to know if there is a particular use case we've missed out on here with regard to moving your data to another password manager. Alex ref: IDEA-I-300

HI Alex. Thank you so much for the detailed response ! My main use case for exporting my data would be : 1. Backup my 1password info in a human readable format that allows me to browse the data if 1password is hacked/compromised and my data is gone or modified. 2. CSV format allows me to have some history of passwords per item. 3. All fields means that I can later choose to move away from 1password (for example, price becomes an issue, security, software quality). My data is currently owned by 1Password and in the latest format I can't really do anything with my own passwords or move to another password manager. 4. the "cloud" is eventually a computer on someone else's desk :) I would like to have the option to safely and reliably have my own precious data backed up to my own storage, just in case. Thanks again ! Chen Ganir

Hi @chenganir, I am glad I could help clear things up, and I'd be happy to address your questions/comments. Backup my 1password info in a human readable format that allows me to browse the data if 1password is hacked/compromised and my data is gone or modified. 1Password 8 for Mac already backs up your data locally on your device. This is what allows you to access your data in the app without a connection to the internet. If you are backing up your entire Mac (as is good practice) using a service like Time Machine, then you'll be able to access your data in the 1Password app on any Mac that you restore from Time Machine on. With regards to your data being "hacked," all of your data is encrypted on your device using your account password and Secret Key before it is ever uploaded to our servers. We are never in possession of either your account password or Secret Key either, so even if someone managed to intercept the data in transit or somehow access our servers and download it directly, they would have no way to decrypt and view the contents. CSV format allows me to have some history of passwords per item. This functionality already exists for 1Password accounts. Check out our support article for the Item History feature here: - View and restore previous versions of items All fields means that I can later choose to move away from 1password (for example, price becomes an issue, security, software quality). My data is currently owned by 1Password and in the latest format I can't really do anything with my own passwords or move to another password manager. We believe that you are the sole owner of your data. As I mentioned above, we cannot access your data in any way, so there is nothing that we can do with it. Further, being able to take your data to another password manager is one of the main drivers behind the 1PUX format. Since 1PUX can capture all of your data (whereas a .csv file can't), it's in our competitors' best interest to be able to import the 1PUX format. Bitwarden already supports importing it. the "cloud" is eventually a computer on someone else's desk :) I would like to have the option to safely and reliably have my own precious data backed up to my own storage, just in case. I have touched on this already, but 1Password 8 does backup your data locally already. If you already backing up your Mac, then you're covered. I hope that helps, @chenganir. Alex

Would the proposed workaround mentioned here work for you? https://1password.community/discussion/comment/680337/#Comment_680337

Hi - Just want to add my vote for this feature. I also am on the board of a non-profit and have a separate vault for those passwords. We don't have policy that everyone uses 1Password (pushback from some who use a different product), so I need to export just the one vault to hand off to others. Would be a time-saver to have more granularity over exports.

Yes I have multiple 1Password accounts, that are listed separately when I select File > Export. Clicking on one of them exports ALL credentials from ALL accounts, not just the selected account

@lordsimal

Private means that only you can see the items that you save to that vault. The Private vault can't be viewed by other people in your company nor can it be shared with others. However, a Private vault that is part of your work account is still part of your work account. Your employer can delete your work account or revoke your access to it whenever they wish since they own it, not you. It's why I recommend having a separate personal account that you own and control to store your personal items.

That being said, I'm happy that Tommy's workaround helped. 🙂

@tibbo

By "export by account" Peter means that you can export items in one 1Password account but not in another. Do you have multiple 1Password accounts? If you do then do you see them all listed separately when you select File > Export?

the current export feature in 1Password 8 allows you to export by account, but not (yet) selected entries.

PeterG_1P 1P_Dave This isn't the case for me. 1Password 8 will only export ALL accounts, it doesn't export only the account specified
