Introduction

Managing passwords can be a daunting task, especially when you have numerous online accounts. Thankfully, password managers like LastPass and Keeper are here to make our lives easier. LastPass is a popular choice for storing and generating passwords, but if you're considering switching to Keeper, you might be wondering how to export your passwords from LastPass. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step by step.

Exporting LastPass Passwords

Before we dive into the details, it's important to note that exporting passwords from LastPass requires a premium subscription. If you're using the free version, you'll need to upgrade before proceeding.

Once you have a premium LastPass subscription, follow these steps to export your passwords:

Step 1: Access the LastPass Vault

Log in to your LastPass account and navigate to your vault. This is where all your stored passwords and other credentials are listed.

Step 2: Go to the "More Options" Menu

In the LastPass vault, click on the "More Options" menu, typically represented by three dots or a gear icon. This will open a dropdown menu with additional options.

Step 3: Select "Advanced" and "Export"

From the dropdown menu, choose the "Advanced" option and then click on "Export". This will initiate the export process.

Step 4: Choose the Export Format

Next, you'll be presented with a choice of export formats. Select the format that is compatible with Keeper. Common options include CSV and plaintext.

Step 5: Save the Exported File

Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the exported file. It's a good idea to select a secure and easily accessible location.

Step 6: Confirm the Export

After selecting the save location, click on "Export" to confirm the export process. LastPass will then generate the file containing all your passwords.

Step 7: Verify the Exported File

Once the export is complete, open the exported file to ensure that all your passwords have been successfully exported. Double-check for any discrepancies or missing entries.

Importing Passwords to Keeper

Now that you have successfully exported your passwords from LastPass, you can proceed to import them into Keeper. Here's how:

Step 1: Access the Keeper App

Launch the Keeper app on your device and log in to your account. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed.

Step 2: Open the "Settings" Menu

In the Keeper app, navigate to the "Settings" menu. This is where you can customize various aspects of the app, including importing passwords.

Step 3: Select "Import" and Choose File

In the "Settings" menu, look for the "Import" option and click on it. Then, choose the file that you exported from LastPass earlier. This will initiate the import process.

Step 4: Map Fields and Review

During the import process, you may need to map the fields from the LastPass export file to the corresponding fields in Keeper. This ensures that the imported passwords are correctly categorized and organized. Take the time to review the mapping and make any necessary adjustments.

Step 5: Complete the Import

Once you have mapped the fields, click on the "Import" button to complete the process. Keeper will then import all your passwords from the LastPass export file into your account.
