Just in case anyone come across this... the whole migration process is super simple and I was making a big deal about nothing.

When you first sign in with your 1Password.com account, it asks if you would like to migrate all of your credentials. In my case I obviously picked "No". From there it's literally just drag and drop between your local vaults and your new online vaults.

I only ran into two issues:

  1. My Yubikey security key didn't work at all on my 1Password Mac client (7.9.1), still don't know why. The Windows 7.9.1 client doesn't support security tokens either, but I believe that is a known limitation.
  2. If your credentials have file attachments, they don't automatically delete from your local vaults after you have moved them to your online vault. I have no idea why, but I assume it is a bug. I didn't realize it at first and ended up with 5 copies of the same credential on my online vault from me trying to move the same credential over multiple times.

Now the next task for me is to figure out how to export my local vaults that cannot be imported to 1Password.com to a format that KeePass understands/supports.
