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 only option I see is either exporting all my vaults using the .1PUX format, or all vaults using .CSV format, which would export only the logins and no other categories. Neither of these options support exporting individual vaults.
Personally, I'm not moving away from 1Password, but there really needs to be a way to export a single vault, as there used to be in v7. Am I missing something...is there a way to do this with v8?

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.

Thank you for the detailed reply, I've passed that along to the product team as well. 🙂
In the meantime, my colleague Tommy has previously described a workaround where you can use Travel Mode to export just a single vault. You can find more details here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/680337/#Comment_680337

1P_Dave Dave, it is rather that the guys there want to use an open-source vault on their own hosted Nextcloud instance. Since it is only 1 person at a time using that database - it is not problem on my side to set things this way for them.
It is possible of course to do full 1PUX export, then import everything into KDBX database, then erase everything other than required vault but in such case - there is a big chance of recoverable traces remain.
Thus, it is would be much better if there is an option to export only concrete vault from 1Password - elegant solution and peace of mind pretty much guaranteed.

Thank you for the feedback, I'm happy to pass along your request to the team. Out of curiosity, would inviting that organization to your 1Password account as a guest work for your use case? You'd be able to share a single vault with them at no additional cost: Share with guests in 1Password Families

I too am looking to export a single vault. Please pass my feedback along as well.
Thanks, but it's since become a non-issue. I'm trying to just be happy with all the positive things with Electron and not focus on things that can't be done :-)
