Before you start
- You need the 1Password desktop app on a Mac or Windows computer. The export isn't available on phones.
- Each 1Password vault comes across as a folder (or a shared folder if you import into your team).
Export from 1Password
- Open the 1Password app and unlock it.
- Choose File, then Export, and pick the account to export.
- Enter your 1Password account password.
- Choose the 1PUX format and save the file.
Import into Vikela
- Open the vault on a computer and sign in.
- In the menu, choose Tools, then Import data.
- Choose where the items go: My vault for your own passwords, or your team to share them. When you import into a team, folders become shared folders.
- Under file format, choose 1Password (1pux).
- Choose the export file (or paste its contents), then select Import data.
- Vikela shows how many items it brought in. Compare that number with your old password manager.
Finish up
- Delete the export file and empty your bin or Trash. It holds your passwords in plain text.
- Open a few important logins in Vikela and check they look right.
- Keep your old account for a week, then close it once you're happy nothing is missing.
Coming soon: a guided import that merges duplicates, spots 2FA backup codes in your notes and suggests shared folders, all in about two minutes.
