Pick the export format
1Password 8 on Mac, Windows and Linux exports 1PUX or CSV. Its export page says CSV only exports Login and Password items, with columns for title, website, username, password, one-time password, favorite and archived status, tags and notes; it leaves out security questions, linked items, linked apps and custom fields. Use 1PUX if you need those extra fields.
1Password for iOS (iOS or iPadOS 26 or later) and Android (Android 14 or later) export using the Credential Exchange standard. That route matters for passkeys, because 1Password says passkeys can only be exported from its iOS and Android apps.
On a Mac, NordPass describes the path as File, then Export, choose the account, enter your account password, choose 1PUX or CSV, then Export Data. On Windows it is the three-dots menu, then Export.

What does not transfer cleanly
- Passkeys from 1Password desktop: 1Password says they cannot be exported from desktop. Create new passkeys on each site after the move, or use the mobile Credential Exchange route into Bitwarden.
- Passkeys into NordPass: NordPass says there is no option to import passkeys. Plan to re-enroll them site by site.
- One-time password secrets: the CSV format includes a one-time password column, so test a few accounts after import to confirm the codes appear and match.
- File attachments: Bitwarden says to upload attachments individually. Download them from 1Password before you cancel.
- Shared vault structure: neither import guide describes recreating 1Password shared vaults. Rebuild sharing as Bitwarden collections or NordPass shared items after the import.
- Custom fields and security questions: lost in CSV; use 1PUX.
Handle the plaintext export safely
1Password states plainly that exported data files are not encrypted and that anyone with the file can read your passwords. It advises against emailing them or storing them online and says to delete them when done. NordPass and Bitwarden give the same advice after import.
Practical routine: export to a local folder that is not synced to a cloud drive, import immediately, verify, then delete the file and empty the trash. If your computer is shared, do the whole migration in one sitting. Bitwarden direct import from the desktop app or extension avoids creating the file at all, which is the safer choice when available.
Cancel-after-verify checklist
- Count items in 1Password and in the new vault; a big gap usually means CSV was used instead of 1PUX, or a vault was skipped.
- Spot-check ten logins, including two with one-time password codes and two with custom fields.
- Download every attachment from 1Password and re-upload it.
- List the sites where you used 1Password passkeys and add a new passkey or password for each.
- Recreate shared spaces and invite family members before you cancel a 1Password Families plan; removed 1Password members get 30 days to migrate personal items.
- Set up two-step login and a recovery method in the new vault.
- Use the new vault for at least a week on every device.
- Delete the export file, then cancel 1Password. NordPass also suggests deleting the old copy so credentials are not stored in multiple places.
Questions before you decide
Should I export 1Password as CSV or 1PUX?
1PUX. 1Password says CSV only exports Login and Password items and leaves out security questions, linked items and custom fields. Bitwarden and NordPass both accept 1PUX.
Will my passkeys move from 1Password?
Only from the 1Password iOS or Android app via Credential Exchange, into a manager that supports it, such as Bitwarden on iOS 26+ or Android 14+. NordPass cannot import passkeys.
Is the 1Password export file encrypted?
No. 1Password says exported files are stored in plaintext and should be deleted when you are done.
