How to export selected entries in 1Password 8?

So much yes! This is very much needed since 1Password provides separate private and company vaults out of the box.
How would I export/move just my private vault if for some reason I wouldn't be at my current company any more and I don't want to stay at 1Password?

@AIT404

Can you tell me a little more about why clients request an export of a vault? Are these external clients of yours or part of the same organization as you? Have you considered sharing the vaults with them using a guest account: Share with guests in your team

@lordsimal

I don't recommend using your work account to store your personal items. You should have one account managed by your workplace for your work items and a second account for your personal items. If your workplace uses 1Password Business then you can claim your free 1Password Families membership by using this guide: Get a free 1Password Families membership when you use 1Password Business

If that doesn't work for you then tell me a little more about your situation so that I understand better. 🙂

We generally create an account for all of our clients so they can access the same passwords we have for them.
However, if a client is moving to another provider or just needs an output of all of their passwords, rather than having to share the vault and create them an account, etc. We would like to just export their vault contents.

I got around this yesterday by just uninstalling 1Password 8, installing 1Password 7 and exporting, then going back to 1Password 8.
The ability to export as txt file is so much better than the spreadsheet too - much more readable for the client,

@AIT404 @adrianw et al.

There is a potential workaround, assuming you are looking to export ALL data within a single vault. Enable travel mode and select only the vault you wish to export to remain on the device. Export, then disable travel mode putting all of your vaults back on the device(s). I've seen this mentioned in passing. I'm afraid I have never tried it personally. Please let me know if it works for you.

edit: I just tried this and it seems to be useable. See screenshots below.

✈️ Use Travel Mode to remove vaults from your devices when you travel

-- As this is a workaround please be sure only the intended data is exported.

⚠️ * Exported data files are not encrypted. They are stored in plain text. Anyone with access to your exported data files will be able to read your passwords. Do not email exported data files or store them online. Delete them when you are done with them. The safest location for such data is within 1Password.

All Vaults on device.

Only my test vault to be exported.

Edit 2: Reduce image size

Apologies for the large images folks. I've retaken and reduced them twice now but they continue to come through large size. 😞

My confusion with the "Private" Vault was the fact, that "Private" inside the Company's account means "non shared, company adjacent passwords".

I expected that "Private" means - well - private, personal Passwords which are not company adjacent. So its a wording thing that could be improved.

But your travel mode "hack" did indeed work and I was able to just export the entries inside my "Private" vault.

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

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

@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?

-Dave

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

@tibbo

That doesn't sound right. So that I can investigate further, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:
