How to move Postman Vault to a new computer

I would like to use the Postman Vault to ensure that all of my variables are never synced to the cloud. What I have not been able to find out is how to copy/backup the Postman Vault so that I can use it on another computer.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!
ps. I know that I can use variables and just not enter an initial value since Current Values do not get synced, but I don’t trust myself to always remember to do that!

Hi @postmanbarter. Welcome to the Postman Community.

Postman Vault credentials are stored directly in your Mac’s Keychain and Postman does not have access to this Keychain(unless you grant it access). To move Vault data to a different system, you will need to move/copy data in your Keychain to another PC. Alternatively, you can sync your vault data with external vault managers like 1Password and Hashicorp. This gives you explicit access to it from any PC you authenticate with. You can read more about this here - Integrate Postman Vault with external vaults | Postman Learning Center

Hi

I have a similar question: How to backup/export/share a vault (on a windows machine)?

But aside from exporting, also importing will be helpful.

I’ve lost my work once and try to be pro-active and have a backup to restore my data.
