I have notice in this forum over many years, questions regarding 'exporting data'. The title above is from the 1Password website Privacy Policy. 1Password appears to offer 2 ways of exporting data ...
Since I'm not even an untrained software developer or data engineer and have no Ph.D., I am qualified to sympathise with the apparent user-unfriendliness of 1PUX, but also to point to how you might handle it to provide a more user-friendly view.
The `1PasswordExport-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.1pux` file is a ZIP file. Unzipping it will give you two JSON files.
- `export.attributes` is a very short file with data concerning the export
- `export.data` is all your data except for files
The `files` folder contains files such as images, PGP keys, etc.
Since it's just text, you can read `export.data`, search for specific information, filter for whatever things you want, or use a tool to convert this structured data into some other format such as HTML which you can view with familiar tools.
As you are clearly aware, anything which stores or processes this unencrypted data adds to the risk of unintended disclosure.
