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

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. 🙂 -Dave ref: IDEA-I-1458

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.

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.

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

You're welcome. If you can describe what your ultimate purpose is for the PDF print out, perhaps the 1Password folks can provide better guidance.

1Password 8 currently does not have a way to print items. I'll update your Subject to indicate that you wanted to Print as PDF (as opposed to Copy) items.

I don't want to see a file that need to open 1P to see details.
I want to see my data in a simple PDF File that I can view and copy without any other between software.

I want to save in Finder's macOS

If you're looking to export your items from 1Password then you can use the export feature: How to export data from 1Password

If that's not what you're trying to do then can you tell me a little more about why you're looking to copy items and where specifically you'd like to place them?

Regarding Dave's comment ....

I am fully aware that there is a local 1P backup BUT that still implies the need for 1P to access the passwords, PLUS the technical knowledge to "drive" 1P.

Since 1P8 first arrived on the scene, I have seen no willingness to do anything substantive on this blog other than (to quote Dave) ... "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".

Until that PDF update is done, I am still using 1P7 and may need to move away from 1Password (an app I subscribed to for many years and loved). That would be a sad day.

I have also found that 1P is not a great place to securely store documents since the 1GB ceiling is too low in this day and age. I would be prepared to pay for more storage. It is also curious that the Mac app store only has 1P7?

Please don't just leave these requests in a low energy "desired update queue"... PLEASE ESCALATE THESE ISSUES TO YOUR FOUNDER DAVE TEARE.

So I guess I am asking the 1P team to be conscious of and more sensitive to the fact that less technical family members may need emergency access to my passwords in a easy manner. That is fundamentally why PDF backups are very important.

Regarding the dylan08 / ronen comments ...

I think dylan08 is right, not everyone would understand 1Password. My family has one or two very basic Mac/PC users however; only one person uses 1P (but struggles with it). Furthermore; that individual would not be able to use a spreadsheet very well but understands like most PC/Mac users how to use PDFs.

Just like dylan08... to cover an emergency I needed to find a way to make sure my family can access my passwords independently from 1P.

So, I act in a similar way to dylan08 but.... I do not store printed copies anywhere... I do not have a private bank vault and would be nervous of giving any printed 1P7 PDF copy to my attorney or accountant (or for that matter, anyone).

My family has enough basic PC/Mac knowledge to deal with the following approach.

My approach is to store the 1P7 PDF backup on drives with very strong encryption. It is actually easy to make such secure, encrypted volumes, but perhaps beyond the expertise of basic PC/Mac users.

Such drives can be safely stored without the need for banks vaults etc.

I can share the location of the encrypted drives plus the very strong password (which I change regularly) with my family.

I have successfully tested this approach with my family. It is easy for them to decrypt and successfully open PDF data on my secure drives.

I don't a software expert , Just a plain user. I think that print option all items locally to PDF is not something complicated to add.
