Hello, When moving 1password.com to 1password.eu, I would like to export from .com and re-import in .eu. I have created (export) 1pux file and it seems there is no import option in application (macos) and web vault interfaces. Of course i manage to duplicate items from .com vault to .eu vault in application and i manage to copy all my items and migrate my datas. BUT, to perform backup / restore, i think it should be possible to import existing .1pux file directly on web vault interface and application. Will it be possible in the next future ? if yes, when ? If no, is there an alternative ? thanks 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

Hi @cyayon Importing has not been implemented (yet). This is something we intend to have completed prior to the stable release of 1Password 8. Also, please note that the 1pux format is unencrypted, and as such the storage and transport of such files should be carefully considered. I'd recommend deleting any that aren't actively being used. We will be offering 1pex exporting/importing as well, which will be an encrypted format. As far as I'm aware there isn't currently a lossless way to move between 1Password regions (e.g. 1Password.com to 1Password.eu), other than by manually re-creating the items. The challenge is files (Documents and attachments). The apps do not support moving these at present. BUT, to perform backup / restore, i think it should be possible to import existing .1pux file directly on web vault interface and application. I agree, though I would suggest using 1pex for this rather than 1pux once implemented. Ben ref: dev/core/core#8586

I too am interested in import/export functionality in 1Password 8. What is a 1pux file and how is it different than the 1pif files? What is the roadmap for import capabilities in the app and/or the web? When will the app be able to export in other common formats like csv?

@kmkoni What is a 1pux file and how is it different than the 1pif files? 1pux is a modernized version of 1PIF. It is an unencrypted dump of your 1Password database. The text-based data uses a JSON structure, just like 1PIF. It is human readable. What is the roadmap for import capabilities in the app and/or the web? We intend to add importing capabilities to the app prior to the stable release. When will the app be able to export in other common formats like csv? No definitive answer here. The two primary export formats we'll be targeting are 1pux (unencrypted) and 1pex (encrypted). We are also looking to support exporting some subset of data to csv, but this is not likely to be lossless. Items in 1Password have an unlimited fieldset due to custom fields and sections, which doesn't translate well to csv. It should be possible to get the basics such as title, username, password, and TOTP secret, though. Ben

Thanks for your complete answer. For information, 1pux file is a simple zip file which contain a json. There is a GitHub golang project which allow conversion to bitwarden format. Then you can export to csv from bitwarden. Complicated, but it could be done waiting a true export feature in 1password 8.

For information, 1pux file is a simple zip file which contain a json. Yes, thanks for clarifying that. I need to add that point to another thread as well. :) Thanks for your complete answer. You're very welcome! Ben

Is there a way to do this manually? I'm in a bit of a hard spot since 1password didn't offer the ability to choose format when exporting. I can not run any third party tools on this as it has company data, though it is stored in a secure location.

The original goal was to have importing in the app before now. Unfortunately we missed that mark. As such I hesitate to comment further before the work is actually done, to avoid putting my foot in my mouth again.

when do you plan to allow re-import of a 1pux file please ?
thanks

Indeed; it is just a zip. Once unzipped the plain-text is in the export.data file. Additional details on this can be found here.

I've exported a 1pux file using 1Password for Windows v8.4.1 and am unable to open it in a text edit to review. From what I've read it should be unencrypted. How do i open the file for viewing data in it?
UPDATE: I found out that the 1pux file format is a "zipped" file and needs to be opened and uncompressed using a program such as 7zip; then the data is in a readable format. << Hope that helps someone else having an issue reading the 1PUX files.

So glad to hear it. 🎉 Thanks for the update Baz. One thing we know is still lacking from 1pux is attachments & Documents. That's something we're working on. 🤞

You people must work 30 hours a day to be so responsive!

I'm embarrassed to say I didn't realize that 1pux was so usable. I can easily keep copies of that. The structure is clean and workable.

I'm now 100% happy.

Oops, sorry, I knew I was forgetting something.

Just in case, if I decide to upgrade earlier, where is the SQLite database be on the Mac?

1Password 8 for Mac stores its data in ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Data
