Are you switching from 1Password to ExpressVPN Keys and wondering how to import all your logins, passwords, and other sensitive data? Transferring your credentials doesn’t have to be difficult. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to ensure a smooth transition, keeping your data secure and organized.

Why Switch from 1Password to ExpressVPN Keys?

Both 1Password and ExpressVPN Keys are powerful password managers, but if you’re already using ExpressVPN for security and anonymity, it makes sense to consolidate your password management within the same ecosystem. ExpressVPN Keys provides strong encryption, seamless browser integration, and multi-device syncing, making it a secure and convenient option.

Exporting Your Data from 1Password

Before importing your data into ExpressVPN Keys, you first need to export it from your 1Password account:

  1. Open the 1Password application on your desktop.
  2. Navigate to your vault and select the items you want to export.
  3. Click on the menu and choose Export.
  4. Select the CSV format for your export. This is a widely recognized format that ExpressVPN Keys can process.
  5. Choose a secure location on your computer to save the exported file.

Important: CSV files are not encrypted, so be sure to delete this file after you complete the import to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

Preparing Your Data for Import

ExpressVPN Keys requires the data in a structured format to ensure all your credentials are imported correctly. Here are some things to check before proceeding:

  • Ensure the CSV file contains all essential fields such as website/app name, username, password, and any additional notes.
  • Check for duplicate entries in the exported file to avoid clutter.
  • Make sure the file is stored in a location you can access easily during the import process.

Importing Your Data into ExpressVPN Keys

Once you have your exported CSV file, follow these steps to import your data into ExpressVPN Keys:

  1. Open the ExpressVPN application on your computer or log in via the browser extension.
  2. Navigate to the ExpressVPN Keys section.
  3. Look for the Import option in the settings.
  4. Click on Upload CSV and locate the CSV file you exported from 1Password.
  5. Review the data and ensure that all entries are correctly formatted.
  6. Confirm the import and wait for the process to complete.

Once the import is complete, ExpressVPN Keys will securely store your credentials and sync them across your devices.

Post-Import Security Measures

Now that your passwords are safely stored in ExpressVPN Keys, take a few extra steps to maintain security:

  • Delete the exported CSV file from your computer to avoid it becoming a security risk.
  • Double-check your imported credentials to ensure all entries were transferred correctly.
  • Enable two-factor authentication on your important accounts for additional security.
  • If you won’t be using 1Password anymore, consider deleting your old vault or deactivating your 1Password account.
