Need help exporting

I am using 1Password v 8.10.62 with Windows 11. I want to export all items under one tag. I saw instructions that say select the items, right-click and chose "export." When I right-click, there is no option to export. And when I select export from the top-left menu, the only option is to export the entire vault, which is not what I want to do. What am I missing?

    I have tags for work items and personal items. My company has started using Keeper as their official password manager, so I wanted to export my work items only. I don't want to export everything.

      Thank you for those details. There isn't a built-in way to limit an export to just items that have a specific tag. However, you can move those items into their own vault and then 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. Create a new vault and call it "Work items": Create and share vaults
      2. Move your work items into the new "Work items" vault: Move or copy items
      3. 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
      4. Use the 1Password desktop app to export data to a CSV or 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app
      5. Confirm that the exported file only contains data from the vault that you wanted to export.
      6. Turn off Travel Mode so that all of your vaults appear in the desktop app again.


      Let me know if you run into any issues.

    Hello fermentedjuice! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out! 1Password 8 allows you to export your entire account, see this guide: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app

    There isn't currently a way to only export items that include a certain tag. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to export certain items? I might be able to find you a workaround. I look forward to hearing from you.
