1Password for Mac 8.9.4 backup

I have the 1Password for Mac 8.9.4 ( I think NOT from Appstore )
Iv'e exported all data to a secure USB Drive for Backup.

In addition , I also want to export all Data ( 3 different vaults ) as a PDF files to see all data ( Not as a single file )
My previos 1Password from Appstore gave me option to backup as a PDF by select all data and save ...
How can I do the same with the present 1password version ?
Thanks.


1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: 2.3.8
OS Version: macOS 12.6
Browser:_ safari

    Hi,

    I also would prefer to have the option to print all items to PDF.
    I store them printed in my bank locker. Not everyone is able to use 1Password. So if I and my wife pass away there is a printed version for all accounts available.

    Even if our servers were to completely blow up and disappear tomorrow you would still have access to your 1Password items on your devices. The 1Password app maintains a local offline copy of your data in addition to backing everything up to 1Password.com.

    That being said, I've shared your comments with our product team. While I can't promise anything I can say that they will consider the feature request for future updates. 🙂

    Before you respond with the fact that the cloud files are encrypted... This does not change my concerns.

    I would also like to "echo" the request for PDF backup to 1P8.... My family and I will not move from 1P7 to 1P8 unless we can backup via PDF to our own secure/protected drives.

    In regard to your comment.... "In general, there's no need to backup your items manually since your data is already backed up to your 1Password account in the cloud" ... with respect, that comment is somewhat concerning.

    Many cloud backup systems have proved somewhat vulnerable and it is not clear what third party or your own servers you guys are using in EU or Canada.

    I saw an early comment from one of you guys that local backup storage is not secure. It can be VERY secure on HDD or Flash Drivesw, and it is a desirable customer option. Believe it or not your customers can do this safely.

    The removal of local PDF backup ( as previously supported for years until 1P8) should remain a customer decision. I am aware of the other backup export options that are supported on 1P8. They essentially need MS Excel (or another spreadsheet app) PLUS lot of work to make these spreadsheet files as usable as PDF exports.

    Ok. Thank you.
    Please advise when it will be available to print to pdf , As I keep the pdf in a local separate secure usb.
    Or an easy way to return to 1P AppStore version.

  • Hello ronen! 👋

    In general, there's no need to backup your items manually since your data is already backed up to your 1Password account in the cloud. If you accidentally delete an item you can always restore it from your 1Password account on 1Password.com: View and restore previous versions of items

    Your encrypted data is replicated to redundant copies on our end to guard against any data loss.

    My previos 1Password from Appstore gave me option to backup as a PDF by select all data and save ... How can I do the same with the present 1password version ?

    1Password 8 for Mac doesn't include the ability to Print to PDF. That being said, I've passed along your request for such a feature to our product team so that they can look into this. 🙂
