Migrate to different region
I currently have a Family subscription in the US region, with everything that is going on in the world I would prefer to migrate that to the EU region.
I know there is a knowledge base article: https://support.1password.com/regions/#change-your-region
This is however not very straight forward as it requires me to set up multiple new accounts, pay for them, copy items manually, close accounts, hopefully get a refund for the remaining tie on the old account, etc.
Are there any plans to create a simpler migration?
Hey Orado! đź‘‹
There aren’t any plans to change this process at the moment. Because of how 1Password’s security model works, changing your account region isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Your data is encrypted locally on your devices before it ever reaches our servers, and accounts in different regions operate independently from one another. This means there’s no direct way to migrate an account between regions without setting up a new one and moving your data manually.
We understand this process takes effort, and we aim to provide as much guidance as possible through the support article you've mentioned above. If you have any concerns or need help with any part of the transition, feel free to reach out to our team via email at support@1password.com—we’re always happy to assist!
