I just upgraded to a family plan. How do I add my wife's existing 1password account to our family?

Hi @thabangh ,

Thanks for reaching out! :smile:

There is not currently a migration option to automatically transfer your data from one account to another, however it is still definitely possible. Basically, you will have to export the data from your wife's current 1Password account and then import it into her new account on the family plan. Instructions on how to do this can be seen below.

Exporting the Data:
Before the data can be added to the new 1Password account, it has to be exported via the 1Password app.

• Open and Unlock the 1Password app.
• Choose the vault (if you are signed into multiple 1Password accounts) that you want to export the data from.

• Go to File > Export > All Items. A screenshot for your convenience can be seen below.
  

• Enter your Master Password to confirm that you want to export your data.

• Make sure that the "File Format" option is set to .1pif for the easiest export/import process as possible. A screenshot for your convenience can be seen below.
  

• Make sure that the file will be saved somewhere safe, and click on the "Save" button.

• Congrats! Your data has been successfully exported!

Importing the Data:
Now that the data has been exported, you can create your new account and import the data.

• Create the new 1Password account under the family plan.
• Add the new account to the 1Password app. This can be done via the "Accounts" pane under your 1Password preferences.
• Sign out of the old 1Password account. (Please make sure that you still have the credentials for the old account in case you still need to access it.)
• Close the 1Password preferences pane/window, and go to File > Import. See the above screenshot(s) for a reference image.
• Choose the file that you saved earlier from exporting your data and click on the "Import" button.

• Choose the 1Password option from under the "Where is your data coming from?" text. A screenshot for your convenience can be seen below.
  

• Choose the "Using the Mac app" option, choose the vault that you want to import your data to, choose the file that you want to import your data from, and follow any additional on-screen prompts. A screenshot for your convenience can be seen below.
  

• Congrats! Your data has been successfully imported!

All done! Feel free to give yourself a pat on the back!

Hopefully, this helps, but please do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of any further assistance! Have a great weekend!

Hi @thabangh - While Brian gave you a comprehensive explanation on how to export and import your data, I think there's an easier way to move your wife's data from one account to another:

• Make sure you invite your wife to your Family account and get her set up on her Mac.
• Make sure 1Password is signed in to both your Family account and your wife's Individual account.
• Move your wife's data from the Personal vault of the Individual account to the Personal vault of the Family account. In case you need a refresher on how to move items between vaults, there's a help article about it.

• After moving the data, make sure you sign out of your wife's Individual account.

That's it. :) I hope this helps.
