your version of 1Password: Version 8
the name and version of the password manager you are converting from: Keepass2 v2.49
your OS and version: Windows 10 21H2

I'm trying to use the converter suite https://1password.community/discussion/101693/moving-to-1password-from-another-password-manager but failing at some point in the process.

I won't be able to resume this process until after the holiday (perhaps 11/30).


1Password Version: 8.4.1-2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10

I don't see a way to do it from the software. I'll reach out to support to see what they say.

I've installed it too, and don't see any import. Oye.

If you can install 1Password 7, you can directly import the 1PIF there, and then re-install 1Password 8. You'll need to uninstall 1Password 8 to do that.

Done! Thanks for your wonderful help!

here's their reply to me on Twitter:

"Hey, Joseph. Right now, 1Password 8 doesn't have the ability to import and everything is deferred to http://1Password.com. If you send an email to mailto:support@1password.com including a link to your tweet and more info on what you would like to accomplish, the team can help out."

Since I've already inputted the file, I'm going to let this go on my end and let you pursue it.

Thanks Again!

I've just commented https://1password.community/discussion/125389/how-do-i-import-a-1pif-backup-into-1password-8#latest as well.

I'm sorry I wasn't aware that 1Password 8 didn't import 1PIF, and I thought that 1Password.com did. The instructions on 1Password.com lead you down the garden path, initially stating that you can Export your data, but turns out, that's not what you need to do:

Since they refer folks you to via the forums, it'd be nice if they continue to provide tools to make this doable. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't. Praying some tool can still be used for the next iteration!

I'm hoping a 1PIF (or 1PUX) import feature is imminent. I'm going to keep assuming that the developers have been drinking through a fire hose, trying to get v8 finished sufficiently to meet the customer requests and needs, and that this is on their radar.

I think that is a fair assumption. 😆 Thanks for helping out here, as always, @MrC.
