Export to PDF Removed in Version 8?
Hi,
I just upgraded from version 7 to 8 and found that it appears that I've lost the ability to export all my passwords to a PDF as I could before. Has that feature been removed? If not, how do...

Hi MrC,
Thanks for that comprehensive reply.
I'm with you re exporting to unencrypted formats. I export directly to a Veracrypt volume, create an AES-encrypted 7zip file, and keep that. The unencrypted files from 1P are always encrypted.
I have 2 separate concerns. First, I'd still like for 1P to export PDFs that I can store in a safe place (i.e. my safe deposit box) so that if I'm unavailable members of my family can obtain my passwords. Importing a CSV file into Excel and then finding the password field is something that I can't assume that my family can do reliably, particularly in a stressful situation. I guess I need to take that up directly with 1P support.
Second, I'd like to be able to backup and restore 1P data with no loss of capabilities or information. You've made it clear that the 1pux format has significant weaknesses for that use. Can you tell me what 1P files and folders I can store to create a complete backup? I believe that if I backed up the right files, installed 1P on the same or different machine, and then restored those files into the new install I'd have completed a backup and restore and be able to access my 1P data with no losses.
Thanks,
Mike
