Transfer Items from LastPass to 1Password

You can transfer your passwords, Secure Notes, and other items from LastPass into 1Password in the desktop app.

Import your LastPass data using 1Password's in-app importer

To import your data from LastPass, you’ll need to log into your 1Password business account. If you received an email inviting you to join a family or team account, follow the instructions in the email.

After you’ve created your 1Password account, install the 1Password desktop app for Mac, Windows, or Linux and sign in, then follow the steps below to import your LastPass data.

Before you begin

Before you begin, learn more about what happens when you import your data from LastPass to 1Password:

• Shared folders will be converted to vaults, and will include their group permissions if you create groups in your 1Password account with the same names as your LastPass groups. Learn more about how shared folder permissions are imported.
• Shared folders can only be imported by someone who has administrator privileges in the shared folder. After a shared folder is imported, it will not be available for other administrators to import.
• To import shared folders in 1Password Teams or Business, you’ll need permission to create vaults.

When you import your data, your item types will change:

    * If you use LastPass Authenticator, one-time passwords saved in it won't be imported, but you can manually add them to 1Password after you've imported your other data.

To make sure nothing is left behind, 1Password also imports account-related settings and other metadata as Secure Notes. These can be found in the Imported Unknown Data vault. You can review and archive them if you don’t need them.

To import your data in the 1Password desktop app, follow these steps on your computer:

1. Open and unlock 1Password desktop app for Windows/Linux/Mac.
2. On Windows/Linux Click the 3 dots on the left-hand side  > Import > LastPass.
3. On Mac, from the menu bar, choose File > Import > LastPass.
4. Enter your LastPass account details, choose the 1Password account to import your data to from the dropdown at the bottom of the window, then click Next.
5. If you use LastPass Families or Business, select optional LastPass Admin Import Tools 
6. Select Only import folder sharing permissions to update the permissions for shared folders you’ve already imported without making other changes.
7. Select Map user email addresses to map shared folder permissions for people who have different email addresses in 1Password than they did in LastPass. You’ll only see this option if you’re a LastPass admin.
8. Click Import to begin the import process.

After you’ve moved your data, follow the next steps to start using 1Password.

Next steps

1. Uninstall LastPass.  This is important to avoid conflicts with 1Password.

2. Get 1Password for your browser. You’ll use the 1Password browser extension to save logins and sign in to websites.
3. Change your passwords. If your LastPass data was part of a breach and you haven’t changed your passwords yet, use 1Password to generate and save new passwords for all your accounts. Start with your most important passwords first, like the ones for your email, financial, and social media accounts.
4. Get the 1Password apps. Use 1Password on all your devices: Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux.
