How can I export data from LastPass?

1. Export data from LastPass

  1. Launch the web browser that the LastPass extension installed.
  2. Click the LastPass icon in the toolbar.
  3. Click on More Options.
  4. Select Advanced > Export.
  5. Select LastPass CSV File.
  6. You will be prompted to enter the master password. Enter the master password to proceed.
  7. If the LastPass opens a new tab containing your data, then scroll down to step 2 to learn more about exporting data from the browser.
  8. If not, choose a location and file name for the CSV file that is being exported.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Make sure the .CSV extension is included while saving the file.

2. If LastPass opens a tab in your browser when exporting your data

  1. If LastPass opens a new tab instead of allowing to save the CSV file do the following.
  2. Copy all the data that is displayed on the browser tab.
  3. Open Notepad and paste the data into it.
  4. Save the document with .CSV extension.
  5. Press Ctrl + S. Enter a name for the file but make sure the extension is .CSV. To do this, click the Save as drop-down menu and select All Files.
  6. The file name, for example, will look like Passwordsfromlastpass.csv.

This step is only for that user who is unable to save the LastPass data directly from the extension. If you were able to save the export file from the extension, you don’t need to follow the above steps.

3. Importing data to Dashlane

  1. Now that you have the exported CSV file, here is how to import it into Dashlane.
  2. Open Dashlane application and click on File.
  3. Go to Import Passwords > LastPass.
  4. Select the imported CSV file and click Import.

Once the import process is successfully Dashlane will display how many passwords and other data have been imported. You can view the relevant data by clicking the appropriate section.

To view the password, click the Password section, and for credit card information click the Payment section. Make sure you delete the .csv file once the import process is over.

4. What to do if Dashlane fails to import any data?

  1.  Make sure all the password have site address in the csv file. Any password that does not have a site address will not be imported by Dashlane.
  2. Open LastPass again and check if all the passwords have a site address. If not, add the site address for the password in LastPass and go through the import process again.
  3. Alternatively, you can also add the site address to the passwords manually in the CSV file.

Migrating from LastPass to Dashlane is as easy as importing and exporting a .CSV file.
