How To Transfer Data From LastPass To A Different Password Manager – SlashGear

In order to move on from LastPass, the first step is to consolidate all your login credentials into a file that can be imported into your next password manager. LastPass lets you convert the contents of your password vault into a CSV file, which organizes all your usernames and passwords in plain text format separated by commas.

Most password managing services have the ability to read CSV files, so importing your personal data shouldn’t be hard. Here’s how you can generate a backup of your LastPass data in a generic CSV format:

1. Access LastPass through a desktop or laptop computer by launching your web browser and clicking on the LastPass extension icon.
2. Log in if you aren’t already using your associated email address and master password.
3. Click on the now-red LastPass browser extension icon, click Account, and select Account Settings.
4. Close the Account Settings window that pops up so you can get to the main interface.
5. From the side panel, pick Advanced Options.
6. Under Manage Your Vault, select Export. You may need to enter your master password again to proceed.
7. Select where on your computer you’d like to store the file — make sure it says “comma separated values file” under file type — and hit Save.

Once you have the LastPass CSV file, you should be able to use it to try out several password managers to switch. If, for some reason, you notice that the export feature is not working properly, consider logging out of the LastPass browser extension, closing the browser, launching the browser again, and logging back into the LastPass browser extension. These steps, according to some users, clear any problematic cache issues and let you export a fresh and complete copy of all your password data.
