Part 1: Export from 1Password

1

Open 1Password on your computer

The desktop app, not the browser extension. You need the full app for export.

2

Go to File > Export

On Mac: menu bar > File > Export. On Windows: the three dots menu > Export.

File > Export > All Items
3

Choose CSV format

Select "CSV" as the export format. Enter your 1Password master password to confirm.

4

Save the file

Save it somewhere you can find it. Desktop is fine. You'll delete this file after import.

Important: The exported CSV contains your passwords in plain text. Import it into Lockbox immediately and delete the file afterwards.

Part 2: Import into Lockbox

5

Open Lockbox

If you don't have it yet, download Lockbox for iOS, Android, or Chrome.

6

Go to Settings > Import

Tap the Settings tab, then tap "Import passwords (CSV)" and choose the file you just exported. Lockbox detects which app it came from automatically.

Settings > Import passwords (CSV)
7

Pick your CSV file

Select the CSV you exported from 1Password. Lockbox automatically detects the format and maps the columns.

8

Import and check the result

Lockbox imports the file and then tells you how many passwords were added and how many duplicates it skipped. If anything could not be imported it says so, and how many.

Verification

After import, Lockbox shows: "X passwords imported. 0 duplicates skipped."

Open your vault and scroll through. Verify your important accounts are there: email, bank, social media.

If everything looks right, delete the CSV file from your computer.

Part 3: Cancel 1Password (optional)

Only do this after you have verified all your passwords are in Lockbox.

1.Go to my.1password.com
2.Click your name (top right) > Billing
3.Click "Cancel subscription"
4.Your account stays active until the end of the current billing period

Keep 1Password installed for a week after switching, just in case. Once you are confident everything is in Lockbox, uninstall 1Password.
