Is there a way I can download all my data to Excel or PDF? I'm on a pc with Windows 10. The goal is to be able to store a printable copy in a safe. Thank you.

4 years agoHi @bearfan, thanks for the kind post. I'm happy to assist with the follow-on questions.
I'm looking at the instructions to Export but the only 3 dots I see are the Google Chrome browser. I don't see any 3 dots within 1Password.
No problem - the three-dot button you're looking for is located in the 1Password for Windows app (which we sometimes refer to as the "desktop app"), and you can get to the export feature within it using the steps below. 👇
(these instructions assume that you're using a Windows 10 device, but if you're using something different, let me know and I'll be happy to adjust the steps)
- Click the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of your screen. A list of programs will pop up.
- Select 1Password, which will be located near the very top beneath a # symbol.
- When the 1Password window appears, enter your usual account password. The app will unlock.
- Select the (â‹®) button towards the top-left corner of the screen, then select Export > [the name of your account].
In 1Password 8, it looks like this:
From here, you can choose to export in either the 1PUX or .CSV format. That brings us to your next question!
I read somewhere that you can only export user names and passwords? Is that the case or can I also export the Secure Notes?
.CSV is limited in what it can export, because it produces the kind of text file you can read in Excel and programs like that. So that's limited to usernames and passwords only. However, the 1PUX format will export all your data. We are also continually building out the export capabilities of 1Password, so you can reasonably expect that your options in this area will expand in the future (although I can't offer any specifics on a timeline for that).
I hope this is helpful. We really hope you're enjoying 1Password - let us know if the steps here meet your needs, or if there's anything further we can do to help. 😃
