+
+=== Importing 1Password OPVault
+Save your 1Password Vault locally to create an OPVault directory. Please see 1Password instructions on how to do this. Once an OPVault is created, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Open KeePassXC.
+
+2. Use the menu Database > Import > 1Password Vault. Select the OPVault to import.
+
+3. Enter the password for your OPVault to unlock and import.

+
+1. Open KeePassXC.
+
+2. Click Import from KeePass 1 button on the welcome screen or use the menu Database > Import > KeePass 1 Database.

+
+4. Enter the password for your old `.kdb` file and click *OK*. You are prompted for provide a name for the new database format that KeePassXC recognizes.
+
+5. Provide a name for the new database format, select a folder on your computer to save the file, and click Save.
+
+6. The data from the `.kdb` file gets imported and converted to the new format, which is compatible with KeePassXC. You can now start using the new database file (`.kdbx`) in KeePassXC.
+
+== Exporting Databases
+KeePassXC supports multiple ways to export your database for transfer to another program or to print out and archive. To export your database into the KDB XML format, you must use the KeePassXC Command Line Interface program: `keepassxc-cli export <database.kdbx>`.
+
+WARNING: Exporting your database will result in all of your passwords and sensitive information being stored unencrypted. We do not recommend saving your exported database for long periods of time as that can cause compromise.
