Leaving LastPass? See how to get your passwords

LastPass is changing its free offer, and some are looking for a new home for their passwords. But how do you get your passwords and other data from LastPass?

See how.

There are a few different ways to get your LastPass data, but the easiest and most reliable way I’ve found is to log into your account through a browser on a computer.

You can then export a file of your data that is CSV compliant, which most applications and password services will accept (this is another topic, and I suggest you test things out and take it easy, because there is always the risk losing your password data)

Here, I’ll show you how to get your data from LastPass.

Step 1

First, go to lastpass.com and log in to your account.

Step 2

If you use two-factor authentication, you will need to enter these details.

step 3

You’re in. Now click on Advanced option…

Step 4

Click Export.

Step 5

Enter your credentials again.

Step 6

There is your data!

Step 7

Now you need to select this data, copy it, paste it into a text file and assign it a .CSV extension.

I don’t recommend keeping all your passwords unencrypted, so you need to encrypt this file in the meantime, so put it on the service you are going to use next.

Also, do not delete your LastPass account until you are sure that your new service is set up and your passwords are accessible! Remember, these are your passwords!

I cannot emphasize this step enough! I heard from several people over the years that they got in a huge mess doing it.
