Import Option is missing from windows app

Hi @danielbo:

Currently, 1Password 8 does not have import functionality, but it's something we're actively working on. In the meantime, uninstalling 1Password 8, installing 1Password 7, and using 1Password 7 to import your .1pif file should get you all set. Let us know if you run into any trouble along the way!

Jack.

Thanks you @"jack.platten" !

Glad @"jack.platten" has helped here, @danielbo. And we're looking forward to the import functionality roll-out so we can provide some good options around this! Thanks for your understanding as things come together. 🙂

Edit: 1Password 8 can import CSV and 1PUX. The converter suite was also updated to generate 1PUX file.

In the mean time, I've updated the converter suite README to indicate that 1Password 8 does not yet import.

Thank you @MrC! We're looking forward to changing that.

It's March 2022 now and there's still no Import capability? Why did you release 1Password 8 without this function, which is important for users switching from another password manager? I'm on Windows 10.

Still no such function and I can't find any resource to download version 7 from.

I like the app a great deal, happy to open my wallet for it, but not if it means manually copying over 700 sets of credentials.

Hi @PadainFain:

1Password 7 for Windows is still available for download here: https://1password.com/downloads/windows/

You may have to scroll down to the bottom of the page. Let me know if you're able to find it.

Hi PadianFain, You have to Import by logging into the website with the version 8 app; no need to downgrade to V7. Click the down arrow under your name once you login into the website.

1Password works well, but functions are scattered whimsically (nonsensically?) among the web extension, Windows app and website. Once I learned that, it was easier to get things done. However, when you switch over from another app which has all functions -- as it should -- the first time user is not alerted about the scatter-shot approach to various functions. I have written Support with a suggestion to add a simple alert, but it seems support for the new user is not a priority. I'd grade 1Password 8 overall, but 2 for first time use (particularly upon switch over from a user-friendly app).

Hi @tenglek, thanks for the feedback here. Import is an ongoing area of work for us here, and I have passed your feedback about where a user can and should expect to find things on to the appropriate team.

As always, if anyone reading this thread has immediate import needs, feel free to reach out to us and we can advise you on the best way to get your data imported into 1Password. 👍
