    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:

    1. 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
    2. Use the 1Password desktop app to export data to a CSV or 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app
    3. Confirm that the exported file only contains data from the vault that you wanted to export.
    4. Turn off Travel Mode so that all of your vaults appear in the desktop app again.

Thanks for the reply. The only way to fully export a complete copy of your items is by exporting items to a 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app

The CSV file only contains a limited set of fields that includes the following:

  • Title
  • Website
  • Username
  • Password
  • One-time password
  • Favorite status
  • Archived status
  • Tags
  • Notes

The CSV file will also only include Login and Password items. It won't include other items like Secure Notes, Identities, Documents, etc... If you need an export of every type of item and all of the fields in those items then you need to export to 1PUX.

Re feature req: CSV per item or selection of items, or at least entire vault would be reasonable data access.

Thank you for the feedback, I've passed it along to the team. 🙂
