Since CSV stands for comma-separated values and is a plain text file, it’s a good idea not to hold on to it once you’ve moved your data to another password manager - or to put that file in a secure place where it can’t be easily read by someone else.īefore you start, you should be aware that the best (and really only way) you can export your data from LastPass is from its browser extension on a desktop or laptop computer. If you’re planning to move that data to another service, then CSV is the far better choice.


LastPass allows you to export your data as a CSV or an XML file. What follows are instructions on how to download your LastPass data, and where to find instructions from several popular password managers that will help you upload that data to their services. Luckily, once you do find an alternative, it’s pretty easy to pull your data from LastPass and upload it to another password manager. Ever since LastPass announced that it was tweaking its free tier to only allow a single category of device - mobile or computer - there’s been a lot of interest in finding alternatives among LastPass users.
