How to export a single vault
I have multiple vaults for multiple organizations I support. I have a need to export one (or maybe two) vaults to another password manager to comply with changes those organizations are making. The o...

Hello folks,
Thank you for taking the time to explain your use case so that we can make 1Password better for everyone. Currently, the export tool will export your entire account and there's isn't an option to export a single vault or a select list of items. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request to have the team look into adding such an option in the future.That being said, as a workaround, you can use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all vaults but the vault(s) that you'd like to export from the 1Password app on your Mac, Linux device, or Windows PC. When Travel Mode is turned on, the export will only contain items from the vaults that you've marked as Safe for Travel:
- Use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all but the vault that you'd like to export: Use Travel Mode to remove vaults from your devices when you travel
- Use the 1Password desktop app to export data to a CSV or 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app
- Confirm that the exported file only contains data from the vault that you wanted to export.
- Turn off Travel Mode so that all of your vaults appear in the desktop app again.

2 years agoHi Dave, thanks. I have a subset (~30) of old logins for a prior hosting provider that have no value to me as authentication info, but have many other fields with info I want to retain.
First try: Select all, Export... [deprecated]
Second try: Select all, new vault, drag to new vault (my item selection was retained as I created a new vault, nice touch), Export vault as.... [nope].
It's my data. I just want it 'cuz I want it 'cuz it's mine. Maybe there's a new way to do it, I saw a workaround using "set 1pw to some more singular vault travel mode"; meh. Overhead cost too high.
Bordering on data lock-in due to inconvenience, which is why I bailed from Evernote to vanilla .md a decade ago.
Appreciate you guys, though, and glad you're around. I'm still here since '06; now on subscrip.
