Import from SplashID

Hi @DABurack,

Thanks for letting us know what worked for getting 1Password to import your SplashID data.

With TextEdit 1.9 on OS X 10.9.2, when the If no extension is provided, use "txt". option is disabled in the save dialog and I use any filename with a .vid extension the file does get saved with that extension. But with the Show all filename extensions option disabled in Finder > Preferences > Advanced I don't see the extension displayed for that file in a Finder window although it does have a SplashID icon. And the extension will be visible in a Get Info window.

Regardless of that, the good news is your data is in 1Password now. :)

Hi @gcb,

I'm happy to help you with getting your SplashID data successfully imported into 1Password 4. A couple things I'd like to confirm:

• Were your items exported from SplashID using File > Export > SplashID vID and without a password?
• Is the first line of the exported file: SplashID vID File -v3.0

Can you please duplicate a couple items in SplashID, redact any personal information, export them, then try importing with 1Password? If it fails, please email that redacted exported file as an attachment, along with a link to this topic and your forum username, to support+forum@agilebits.com. And if it does import okay, please send us email anyway without the attachment and we'll work with you directly through email to help get all of your data fully exported/imported. Thanks in advance!

Hi @gbc,

Hurray for your successful SplashID data import -- that's awesome! :)

I'm really sorry that post #30 seemed to contradict post #9. I've made this change to hopefully make it clearer:

Old:

It appears that -v4.0 could also be accepted by the importer so it needn't be manually changed to -v3.0. The importer could also handle any necessary text encoding conversion.

New:

It looks like the SplashID importer for 1Password could be updated to also accept -v4.0 in addition to -v3.0. And maybe handle any necessary text encoding conversion.

Please let me know if that still sounds too confusing or need any help with your 1Password testing. Have fun! :)

Hi Sheldon,

Here's a list of things to help ensure that data exported from SplashID will be successfully imported with 1Password 4:

• When exporting from SplashID, make sure to use File > Export > SplashID vID, with the Export Attachments option deselected and without any password. And choose No for the Send Mail prompt.
• Make sure the first line of the exported vID file (with a .vid extension) is: SplashID vID File -v3.0
• Make sure the vID file uses UTF-8 character encoding, as mentioned: here (post #45), with conversion details: here (post #11).

• Make sure to select SplashID (.vid) as the File Format in the 1Password 4 Import window:
  

• Try exporting a small subset of items at first to test the 1Password 4 import process. Secondary vaults can be handy when testing importing and/or for storing imported data more permanently, as described: here (post #7).

If you're still stuck after that please create a small redacted sample file of SplashID data that fails to import and email that as an attachment to support@agilebits.com, including a link to this topic and your forum username. That sample can be created by duplicating items in SplashID, editing/removing any personal information from the duplicates, then exporting just those items. Also try importing the sample data before emailing it to confirm 1Password 4 is rejecting it.

But let's be optimistic that something from the earlier list will get it working for you. :)

Hi @BobMitcham‌

Thanks so much for letting us know - I'm so glad to hear that you were able to get your data imported into 1Password!

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we're happy to help. :)

Hi @Gary1968,

I've merged your post with this topic about importing SplashID data into 1Password 4. Please take a look at post #38 for a list of suggestions that can help.

I believe the importing bug you may be referring to is the one in 1Password 4.3 that was initially fixed in 4.3.1.BETA-1 and is no longer an issue with any releases after that. I'm not aware of any failures of importing SplashID data that haven't been resolved with suggestions mentioned above. If you can't get it working, for whatever reason, we'll gladly take a look at a redacted sample of data that does fail to import and figure out why so we can help you fix it. :)

Hi @JPShanghai,

Thanks a lot for sharing your steps for exporting SplashID data through successful importing with 1Password 4. Really glad that all worked!

Looks like this step from post #38 wasn't applicable in your case:

• Make sure the first line of the exported vID file (with a .vid extension) is: SplashID vID File -v3.0

You mentioned:

… also choosed "no" when asked if the file should be emailed

I've added that tip to the first step of suggestions in post #38. :)

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your experience here, @dmacct. I'm glad to hear you were able to get it working. :)

And thanks for the feedback about categories as well!

Hi @Pehja,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble importing SplashID data into 1Password. What exactly happens when you try to import? Have you tried all of the suggestions in post #38?

I'm sure there's a solution to this problem and we're happy to help you find it! :)

Hi @Pehja,

Glad you've made progress with importing your SplashID data!

You mentioned:

And I have to paste "SplashID vID File -v3.0" in the "save file as". Because otherwise there is nothing there.

Adding that full line shouldn't be necessary when exporting from SplashID using File > Export > SplashID vID. In a few cases the first line of exported data could be:

SplashID vID File -v4.0

Then you'd only need to change 4.0 to 3.0 before importing.

However the posts was imported as a text file (notes)? and they are not editable, as to add different sections. Totally useless! How can I change it to be like it is in lets say "Server"

What did those items look like in SplashID?

Without knowing more details about how your data was exported it's tough to determine exactly why it was imported into 1Password as Secure Note items. There are a few guidelines earlier in this topic …

From post #23:

• Items from SplashID need to be exported with a Web Logins Type for 1Password to import them as Login items.
• Some fields in your items differ from those in the default Web Logins Type so they won't be imported with correct Login item fields in 1Password.

The importer currently doesn't support remapping of SplashID types/fields into 1Password categories/fields. It expects SplashID vID input data with default types/fields to get the best results.

Duplicating and modifying items in SplashID that you're intending to import with 1Password is a workaround if you want to retain types/fields of the original SplashID items.

From post #25:

The SplashID Type -> 1Password 4 Category mappings are essentially:

• Bank Accts -> Bank Accounts
• Credit Cards -> Credit Cards
• Identification -> Drivers Licenses
• Serial Numbers -> Software Licenses
• Web Logins -> Logins
• Other Types -> Secure Notes

When exported SplashID data has type/field customizations, 1Password will import it to Secure Note items.

And another thing that probably would be in another thread. I can not get my iPhone to synk!

If you're having trouble with syncing please do start a new thread about that and we'll be happy to help!
