I just need some working way to have offline access (can be read only) to my passwords on fresh PC to decrypt some disks and setting up internet connection. After that the PC will be fully online.

This is correct, yes. The initial installation of 1Password does require you to connect to our servers so that they can build and populate a local database on your device.

I tried
1. download 1Password app.
2. copy %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/1Password to desktop
3. uninstall 1Password app
4. go offline
5. install 1Password app (from step 1)
6. copy data from step 2 back to %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/1Password

And it works. So I think it is way to go for me right now. Thank you.
