To take a copy of your items out of Keyguard, export them as a password-protected ZIP archive or KeePass database.

Export items

  1. Start the export from one of these places:
    • The account’s screen: Export individual vault or Export vault.
    • An item’s menu: Export….
  2. Confirm access with your app password or biometrics.
  3. Select ZIP archive or KeePass database (KDBX).
  4. Select Continue.
  5. To export only some of the items, narrow them with the filters.
  6. To include attached files, turn on Export attachments.
  7. Select Continue.
  8. Enter a password for the file and confirm it.
  9. Select Continue.
  10. Review the export, then select Export. Keyguard saves the file to your Downloads folder.

Export individual vault exports the account’s items outside organizations. Export vault appears when the account belongs to an organization, and also exports the organization’s items.
