Importing 1Password Files

mSecure imports 1Password export files directly – no spreadsheet work required. 1Password exports either a .1pif or a .1pux file depending on the version you are running, and mSecure has a separate import option for each. 

Exporting from 1Password

1. Open and unlock 1Password.
2. Select the vault you want to export. You cannot export from "All Vaults". 
3. Click File > Export > All Items. If you are part of a team, some vaults may have restricted export permissions – contact your administrator if needed. 
4. Enter your account password when prompted. 
5. Choose the export format and click Save. 

Note the file extension on the file you just saved. You will need it in the next step. 

Importing into mSecure

iPhone and iPad

4. Tap Import under Sync & Backup. 
5. Choose 1Password 1PIF or 1Password 1PUX to match your file. 
6. Select your export file. 

Mac

1. Open and unlock mSecure.
2. Click File in the menu bar.
3. Hover over Import.
4. Choose 1Password 1PIF or 1Password 1PUX to match your file. 
5. Select your export file in the Finder window. 

All imported records will now be formatted for mSecure.

After importing

Check that the number of records in mSecure matches the number in 1Password, and open a few records to confirm each field holds what it should. Only delete your 1Password account once you have confirmed the data is correct. 

Your export file contains your passwords in readable form. Delete it once the import is confirmed, and empty your Trash.
