    Importing Data into 1Password

    1Password can import data from many popular applications, including:

    You can use 1Password’s Import Assistant to import all of the above formats as well as others. To do this, select the File > Import… menu option in the main 1Password application. This will bring up the Import Assistant, which will walk you through the import process. Select the program you want to import from by selecting the corresponding import format and then following the instructions specific to that program.

    Importing Generic Text Files

    In addition to the above formats, 1Password has a Generic Text importer that can import any comma- or tab-separated values. To use this, specify Generic Text as the import format. The Generic Text importer will allow you to specify which columns in your CSV file should be used for each 1Password field.

    Example Import Using Generic CSV File

    1Password does not have an explicit support for importing data from all applications. This is where the Generic CVS import comes in. For example, 1Password cannot import directly from Pastor (it stores passwords in an RC4-encrypted database) but it is very easy to import information using the “Generic Text” import format:

    While the above is specifically for Pastor, it can be applied to any application that allows you to export your data as a tab- or comma-separated set of values.
