Print (or print-to file) list of Items in a vault?

Is there a way to print (or print-to-file) a comprehensive list of Items in a vault?

Is there a way to print (or print-to-file) the contents of an Item?

    I'm sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you for sharing specific details about your use case here.

    There's isn't currently a built-in feature in the 1Password app to print the titles of all items in a certain vault and I've file a feature request on your behalf to have the team look into this for the future. If you're technically savvy then you could export item titles to a text file that you could then print by using the 1Password CLI: Get started with 1Password CLI

    You would then run a command like the following: op item list --vault "<Vault ID or Vault Name>" --format human-readable > vault-items.txt

    Replacing <Vault ID or Vault Name> with the name of the vault that you'd like the list of item titles from. You'll get a text file (named vault-items.txt) in the current directory that you're running Terminal / Command Line from that you can then edit or print. 

    Alternatively, you could export your items to a CSV file and then only copy the title column and print that. However, I’d caution against exporting your parent’s items to a CSV file, as this creates a plain-text copy of their data outside of 1Password’s security and encryption. If you decide to proceed, be sure to export only the item titles and delete the CSV file as soon as possible, so their passwords aren’t left sitting in plain text.

    I hope that helps.

  • Hello 1P_Dave​,

    Thank you for the reply and your clarifying question. I am managing passwords for both parents in separate vaults. I would like to be able to print a list that shows the name of all the items that are in each vault, as a gesture to provide reassurance/confidence that I am attending to all of the various items/accounts, and to provide an opportunity to cue them about any items not included that they want to add. Neither of them are tech savy and looking at the list of items on a computer screen is not helpful for them.  

    I can type these into a list for them using Word or Excel and print that out if there is not a simple way to accomplish this using 1Password.

  • Hello meburgnerlcsw​! đź‘‹

    Thanks for the question! There isn't a built-in tool in the 1Password app to directly print a list of vaults or the contents of an item. Can you tell me a little more about why you're looking to print this information? I may be able to provide some alternative suggestions on how you can accomplish your goal.
