Importing local vault

Hi @Yeshco:

1Password 8 only works with 1Password accounts, and doesn't support standalone vaults synced with iCloud, Dropbox, or another service. Do you currently have a 1Password account?

Is it not possible to have a .opvault file with 1password 8? I was using this like a hardware wallet in crypto where the file can be offline to the internet? Is it possible to emulate a similar situation?

1Password 8 no longer supports older standalone vaults. Our founder Dave wrote a mini-essay where he talks about our decision regarding standalone vaults here: The future of local/standalone vaults — 1Password Support Community

Unlike older standalone vaults that are only protected using your password, your 1Password account data is protected and encrypted using a secret that is derived from both your account password and your Secret Key. Without both your account password and Secret Key it's impossible for someone to decrypt your 1Password account vaults.
