v8 export for import in KeePassXC or something similar using local vaults
Hello @basurerito! 👋
I'm sorry to hear that you're thinking of moving to another password manager, are there any specific issues that you ran into with 1Password 8? I would be happy to help you resolve those issues or file feedback with our developers on your behalf.
As you mentioned, 1Password 8 for Mac includes two different export options:
- Export to CSV: The CSV format supports a limited set of fields and will only export Login and Password items.
- Export to 1PUX: The 1PUX format is a complete export of your 1Password data and even includes file attachments.
The CSV format is limited which is why we created 1PUX to allow a user to take all of their 1Password data with them if they ever decide to leave 1Password. An export that allows you to takeout all of your 1Password data was one of our most requested features and we're very happy to finally offer that ability with 1PUX exports in 1Password 8. You can read more about the 1PUX format and why we created it here: About the 1Password Unencrypted Export format
I'm afraid that it's up to other password managers to build support into their apps to import 1PUX files, this isn't something that we can control. When we introduced 1PIF years ago other password managers built support for that filetype and we expect the same to happen with 1PUX files. If you do need to export to a 1PIF file (which doesn't contain all of the data that a 1PUX export does) then you can indeed install 1Password 7 and perform the export that way.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
