Find an old login: don't want to restore the whole file from backup
Hi, for some kind of reason I can no longer access a website because the Userid I used to input with 1password has suddenly disappeared.
Can I get into a backup file and look it up? I don't want to restore the entire database as I don't know what's been added/changed in the meantime. Thanks!

Hi @yknot
Sorry, there isn't a way to just view the contents of a backup like you're asking for. What you can do though is restore the old backup, find what you're looking for and then restore the newest backup. A little clunkier but it will work.
For peace of mind what you can do is manually create a backup of your vaults as they are using the Backup Now button in the Backup tab. If you're really concerned you can use the Show Files button to open a Finder window at the location of the backup files and you can copy that new backup to your Desktop.
After you've gone through all the steps and restored your current vault back you will want to review your Sync state. Restoring a backup disables sync as a safety feature so you'll need to re-enable it where appropriate.
If you have any questions regarding any of this or would like the steps described in more detail please do ask.
