How to import iphone backup into Windows

shoehn2

Hi Support,



Until a few days I had my passwords on my iPhone and iPod touch until both broke. I have backups for my passwords (*.ptbackup) which I like to import in my Windows-version of 1password. How can I do this?



Thank in advance,

Stefan

Welcome to the forum, Stefan!



You can't import a 1Password for iOS backup file into 1Password for Windows (or vice versa).



You'll need an iOS device with 1Password installed, in which you'll restore your backed-up data:

[list=1]

[*]On the iOS device, launch and unlock the 1Password app, and tap [b]More[/b] > [b]Settings[/b] > [b]Database[/b] > [b]Backup & Restore[/b].



You should see a page titled "Backup Service Started".



[*]On the Mac or PC where the backup file was stored, launch a web browser, and go to either of the URLs listed on the iOS device screen.



[*]Click the [b]Browse[/b] button, find the [i].1ptbackup[/i] file in the location where you saved it, and click the [b]Restore[/b] button.

[/list]

Then you'll sync the data in the 1Password app on that iOS device with 1Password for Windows following the instructions in [i][url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/iOS-to-Windows.html"]What if all my 1Password data is already on my iOS device?[/url][/i] under the heading "Backing Up & Sync'ing" in the [i]FAQ[/i] section of the user's guide.

Thanks for the quick answer, though:



Does that mean because my iOS-device broke down there is no way that I can recover my passwords even though I have a backup file? I just bought an Android device and I wanted to move everything over.



What you are saying is that because my IOS-device is damaged there is no way to recover the passwords, right? Even if I had someone else who owns an iOS-device, I could not install 1password there because it has been bought on my account, right?
