Thank you !

Thank you for the reply. It looks like we've previously discussed using a PDF as a backup in another thread back in October so I've merged your recent thread with the older thread to keep the conversation in one place.

At the moment, there isn't a way to print items to a PDF using 1Password 8 but your feedback and request has been passed along to the product team. As MrC mentioned above, exporting to a 1PUX or CSV would be the best option for now. 🙂

@Dave
YES !!!!
EXACTLY!
So simple.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "recovery" in this context. Do you mean that you'd like to have a backup of all of your items in a PDF in case you lose access to the 1Password app itself?

Or are you referring to recovering another account other than your 1Password account?

Hi Dave.
Anyone who’s using 1password knows “what’s inside “
Regarding my feedback to add a PDF option, please see this thread above, I will quote:
“ In case of recovery, it is more simple to see password and logins , and other data in front of your eyes, easy copy and understand the items details.
As of now, to make recovery, you need to use 1Password app. ”

1Password 8 is a completely new app and all features haven't yet made it into the app. We do have an open feature request to bring printing to 1Password 8 and I've added your voice there so that the product team is aware that this is something that you'd like to see.

That being said, I generally don't recommend that you print your passwords since that will remove them from the secure and encrypted environment of 1Password. Any exported or printed copy of your passwords will be in plain text and so will be readable by anyone who views it. Most importantly, 1Password's protections and security will no longer apply to your passwords.

1Password is designed to allow you to easily browse and review your items inside of the 1Password app itself. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to view your items in a PDF rather than from inside of the app? If you can provide me with specific feedback then I can pass that along to the product team so that they can look into improving the app so that you don't need to print your items at all in the future.

Thanks.
Ps . Sometimes you just want to walk over your 1password data 1. To find and discover data that you don’t want/ need or so.
A simple pdf file is so convenient!
Also, The previous 1password version was able to do this as I have “old” PDF’s files.
Don’t understand why now it’s impossible.

I will let the 1Password folks fully address this, ronen, but will mention what's been stated here before just to give you some feedback.

The 1Password folks place a great deal of importance in their 1Password server, its backups, etc. so that folks like us don't have to worry about data loss from that end.

The Emergency Kit allows you to access your data via the 1Password.com web interface, so you would not need to install the a desktop or mobile app to quickly access your data.

A 1PUX export will contain all of your account vaults and records, so you can retain an emergency backup using this. And it has the benefit of being comprehensive, where a PDF or CSV print out is quite lossy. And the 1PUX can be re-imported, or converted if necessary, so you're not locked into the 1Password ecosystem.

Hopefully this helps a bit. I'll leave addressing your issue here to the 1Password folks now.

In case of recovery, it is more simple to see password and logins , and other data in front of your eyes, easy copy and understand the items details.
As of now, to make recovery, you need to use 1Password app. Why ????
