Are you leaving LastPass? Here’s 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?

Here’s how.

There are several different ways to retrieve your data from LastPass, but the easiest and most reliable way to log in is to log in to your account via a browser on a computer.

You can then run a file that is CSV compliant, which will accept most password applications and services (this is a very different topic, and I suggest you try things out and take your time, because there is always the risk to lose your password data)).

Here I will show you how to retrieve 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 the details.

Step 5

Step 6

There is your data!

There is your data!

There is your data!

Step 7

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

I do not recommend keeping all your passwords unencrypted, so you will need to encrypt this file in the meantime, so place it in the service you are going to use further.

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

I can not stress this step enough! I have heard over the years from several people who have found themselves in a huge mess.
