Before you start
- Use a computer, not a phone. The export only works in the LastPass web vault.
- If you manage a team, each person exports their own vault, or a LastPass admin exports the shared folders.
Export from LastPass
- Sign in to the LastPass web vault in your browser.
- Choose Advanced options, then Export.
- Enter your LastPass master password when asked.
- LastPass downloads a
.csvfile. If it shows a page of text instead, copy all of it; you can paste it into Vikela in the next step.
Import into Vikela
- Open the vault on a computer and sign in.
- In the menu, choose Tools, then Import data.
- Choose where the items go: My vault for your own passwords, or your team to share them. When you import into a team, folders become shared folders.
- Under file format, choose LastPass (csv).
- Choose the export file (or paste its contents), then select Import data.
- Vikela shows how many items it brought in. Compare that number with your old password manager.
Finish up
- Delete the export file and empty your bin or Trash. It holds your passwords in plain text.
- Open a few important logins in Vikela and check they look right.
- Keep your old account for a week, then close it once you're happy nothing is missing.
Coming soon: a guided import that merges duplicates, spots 2FA backup codes in your notes and suggests shared folders, all in about two minutes.
