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. 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=download%20data%20to%20excel%20or%20PDF%20on%20a%20pc

Hey @bearfan, thanks for reaching out! I understand you'd like export your data to a printable format. Before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the best way to ensure you always have access to your account is to save a copy of your Emergency Kit and taking the time to record your password on it: Get to know your Emergency Kit With a 1Password membership, your data is stored in an encrypted format on our servers, so as long as you have your Emergency Kit (with an up to date account password written on it), you will be able to access your data from any device. We typically advise caution with exported data. 1Password keeps your data in an encrypted state while its locked on your device, and the only way to decrypt it is with the correct keys derived from your 1Password account password and Secret Key. Exporting your data entirely bypasses the majority of the security benefits provided by 1Password and leaves your data vulnerable to anyone who's able to access it. This may not be a concern since you plan to store the copy in a safe but something to keep in mind is that you're not able to change a password easily without exporting and printing everything again. With that said, you can find steps on how to export your data here: How to export data from 1Password If you'd like to open the data in Excel, you can export it to a CSV format. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need assistance with the export process. Ali

Thank you so much - I appreciate your response and your concern for data security. I love that everything is encrypted AND I can access it from the server. The previous app I used encrypted data but I wasn't able to download it AND I couldn't retrieve it from their server. I do have my Emergency Kit saved and current. I'm new to 1Password but so far it seems like it is going to meet all my needs. I will follow the directions for exporting and keep a copy in the safe. THANK YOU Ali.

Well....I guess I need more help. 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. Also, how do I know if I have Password 8 or Password 7?? Can you provide a screen shot of where the 3 dots are??

Also, I read somewhere that you can only export user names and passwords? Is that the case or can I also export the Secure Notes?

Hi @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 (⋮) 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. 😃
