How do I import a .1pif backup into 1Password 8?

I have a 1pif-formatted export from Bitwarden using the converter utility that's referred to within these forums. I cannot find ANYWHERE, whether the web interface or the desktop app, that will allow me to import that file. There is no import option that I can locate in the desktop app, and if I look on the web, it wants a CSV file - which the converter utility will not provide for a Bitwarden export.


1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11
Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=1pif%20import

    Yeah I'm sticking with 1PW; your forums are superb. 1PW looks much better, performs (as far as i can tell) just as good as BW, and I'm satisfied. Thanks for the great product!

    Yeah guys... this is a hokey janky workaround. I'll try it to see if I'm going to stay with 1PW8 (from bitwarden; thanks MrC for the suite btw).

    I have to say I love the responsiveness of the 1PW staff on these forums. Well done.

    Hi folks!

    @jcoffman the fix you discovered is likely the most efficient path right now - and let us know if we can be of any help from here!

    MrC the import functionality of 1Password 8 isn't fully built out yet - but your contributions have of course been invaluable and we'll be happy to talk with you about how import and conversion from various formats can work when we're a little further along. Sorry it took us a little while to reply here!

    I just discovered this today, while trying to help someone converter from Keepass2.

    It appears that neither 1Password 8, nor 1Password.com, will import 1PIF files.

    I'm hoping this will be implemented soon (otherwise, the converter suite has become essentially obsolete).

    The fix I found so far is to install 1Password 7, which does have a 1pif import feature. This very much needs to be added to 1Password 8.
