Import your data from LastPass

Importing your data from LastPass into SecretSafe is easy.

Export your sites from the LastPass.com web vault​

  1. Log into your LastPass account at www.lastpass.com and navigate to More Options (at the very bottom of the left sidebar menu) → Advanced → Export.
  2. This will take you to a page that then asks you to enter your LastPass master password for verification. Enter your LastPass master password.
  3. Your data will be decrypted and a file will be downloaded in CSV format.
danger

There are known bugs (for years now) with the LastPass exporter regarding special characters such as the ampersand (&), the greater than sign (>), and the less than sign (<). The LastPass exporter may change (HTML encode) these and possibly other special characters in your passwords to their respective HTML encoded values (ex. &amp;, &gt;, and &lt;). If this LastPass bug affects your exported data you should use a text editor (such as Notepad) to find and replace all of these values before importing into SecretSafe. For example, you may want to do a find and replace for &amp; → & and &lt; → <).

Alternatively, you can use the LastPass Pocket application to export your CSV data. The LastPass Pocket application does not appear to be affected by these bugs.

Import your data into SecretSafe​

  1. Go to the SecretSafe web safe and log in.
  2. Navigate to Tools → Import Data.
  3. Select LastPass (csv) as the file format and select the choose file option and select the file that lastpass downloaded.
