In 1Password 7 was able to export selected entries - for example: selected (including all) entries from a single vault . 1Password 8 export exports all entries from all vaults in the account even if a single vault or specific entries is selected. Am I missing something? It would be great is 1Password 8 would bring back the Export flexibility that existed in 1Password 7. I know I can create a Collection with a sub-set of vaults (even just a single vault) and export will export all entries only from the the vault(s) in the collection (not all vaults in the account). Did I miss something in the new UI? 1Password Version: 8.7.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

I want to add my +1 to the vote for (selected item) or (vault specific) exports. USE CASES: I am an IT Consultant and separate each of my clients secrets to their own vaults. If I stop working for any client, or they want to go to a password manager that is not 1Password, it is very hard for me to migrate their data without exporting ALL my clients and personal passwords. Even at a personal/family level, if I have been helping a family member with their accounts, I want to select all of the relevant ones and export them so they can use them in their own personal 1PW account (no team access/separate family account, so I cannot move the items from within 1PW)

Hello vjcinajr, greetings. 👋 You're correct - the current export feature in 1Password 8 allows you to export by account, but not (yet) selected entries. However, we do have a standing feature request for this with our developers, and I have just added a vote on your behalf with a link to this discussion. Thanks for letting us know that this would be valuable for you, and do let me know if there's anything further we can help with. 😃 ref: IDEA-I-300

Hello ! glad I found this post, i've been looking for the 1Password 7.xx export features, and can't find what i'm used to ! 1. Ability to export a vault, not account 2. Ability to export to iCloud or VSC format and include everything, not just username and password This new 1Password 8 looks like a huge regression, how can we push of the introduction of the previous version export option in the new version as well ? Thanks.

Hi @chenganir, Great question! 1Password 7 supported standalone vaults, which is linked to the reason for the option to export at the vault level. With standalone vaults, it was possible to have one vault syncing through iCloud while a second vault would be syncing through Dropbox. In this case, those two vaults are completely unrelated, and there was no greater hierarchical structure. If you wanted to export all of your data, you'd have to do so one vault at a time. Exporting by vault was not really a defined option in 1Password 7. What did exist was the ability to export at the item level. You could choose to export Selected Items or All Items. Consequently, if you chose to export All items, then all of the items in the selected vault would be exported. With 1Password 8, the highest hierarchical structure is your account, so we've opted to offer export from that level. This is because generally when folks are exporting, they are looking to export all of their data, which could include multiple vaults in their account. I am sorry if this change has disrupted your personal workflow with 1Password. As Peter mentioned, we do have a standing feature request to add the ability to export selected items (which could encompass an entire vault) in 1Password 8, so I have added your vote there. Can I ask about your specific use case of why you would prefer to export a single vault versus your account? Regarding the different export formats, in 1Password 7, the iCloud keychain option was a particular format of a .csv file. In 1Password 8, the iCloud keychain format is the default .csv option. That is to say, the iCloud option is included in 1Password 8 already. Regarding the ability to export all of your data associated with an item, as 1Password items become complex regarding what types of data they can store, we've started to grow past what the .csv file type can do. We have spoken about this before. Therefore, we've opted to develop a new export format, known as the 1Password Unencrypted Export format. This format does include all of the data in a given item. Again, I'd love to hear about your use case for exporting in the .csv format. I'd be interested to know if there is a particular use case we've missed out on here with regard to moving your data to another password manager. Alex ref: IDEA-I-300

HI Alex. Thank you so much for the detailed response ! My main use case for exporting my data would be : 1. Backup my 1password info in a human readable format that allows me to browse the data if 1password is hacked/compromised and my data is gone or modified. 2. CSV format allows me to have some history of passwords per item. 3. All fields means that I can later choose to move away from 1password (for example, price becomes an issue, security, software quality). My data is currently owned by 1Password and in the latest format I can't really do anything with my own passwords or move to another password manager. 4. the "cloud" is eventually a computer on someone else's desk :) I would like to have the option to safely and reliably have my own precious data backed up to my own storage, just in case. Thanks again ! Chen Ganir

Thanks for the feedback! Can you tell me a little more about your need for a selective export feature?

Some transparency on the real reasons would be appreciated.

Our product and development teams hear everyone's requests and seriously consider all comments and suggestions that are passed to them. Features are implemented based on a variety of factors that include things like available development resources, open issues and bugs that also need attention, and our existing product roadmap.

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

Please add another vote for this feature.
Hard to understand how for the past 2 years the feedback keeps being "passed along" to the product team and such a simple functionality, available in previous versions, is still missing ... maybe there is a commercial reason to NOT implement this?
Some transparency on the real reasons would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have considered it :) Some of those credentials are for applications in airgapped environments.

Thank you for the feedback. Have you considered using secure item sharing to send credentials to your employees? This would prevent you from having to export items into plain text and would keep the shared items protected by 1Password's security: Securely share 1Password items with anyone

On their end, your employees would be able to add the credentials to their private vault with a click of a button. Let me know if that would work for you. 🙂

Another vote for exporting selected entries. I onboard many employees at my workplace. We have some credentials that I need to store in my 1Password before they onboard, that I then export and transfer to them. Given the number of vaults I manage, the travel mode hack is too painful as a workaround.

Thank you for the feedback. Have you seen the suggestion that my colleague Tommy posted earlier in the thread: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/680337/#Comment_680337

Are you regularly needing to export just a single vault? Can you tell me more about your use case for such a feature? I would be happy to pass along your feedback to our Product team. 🙂

Crazy that this is still not available... we need this capability to export individual vaults as a critical part of our workflow... does not seem to be a priority for 1password... we may need to look at going to a different password manager.
