Follow these instructions to export or transfer your LastPass vault contents, including passwords and notes, as a backup or to use to import your vault into other password managers.
Please note: You cannot export passwords or other data that has been shared to you.
Export Your LastPass Vault
- Go to your LastPass vault
- Select Advanced Options > Export. LastPass will send you an email to verify your request.
- You should see a message saying "Success! Look for an email from LastPass to finish the export process."
- Check your inbox for a "LastPass Security Notification: Verify export" message, then select Continue export in the email to verify.
Note: The link will expire after 10 minutes.
- Return to your vault and select Advanced Options > Export again.
Mac Safari browser users: If nothing happens, you will need to allow pop-up windows from LastPass to export your vault data.
- When you visit a website with blocked pop-ups, you can show them by selecting the Show button in the Smart Search field.
- Return to your LastPass vault, then select Advanced Options > Export again.
- Allow pop-up windows from LastPass in Safari on Mac
- For the lastpass.com entry, use the drop-down menu and select Allow.
- Select Websites > Pop-up Windows.
- Use the Apple menu to go to Safari > Settings.
If you have successfully exported your LastPass vault data, it will be displayed in a new web browser window as well as downloaded a CSV file of your data (if popups have been enabled.)
Your LastPass vault contains usernames, passwords, notes, and other data in plain text.
After importing your data into a new password manager, be sure to delete the export file and empty your trash to protect your data from unauthorized access.
Troubleshooting
- If the CSV did not download, be sure to enable pop ups. Alternatively, copy the contents of the page and paste it into a text editor to save it as a file.
- If you receive an error message "You don't have any data to export" then your account may only have passwords that have been shared to you. You cannot export passwords or data that you do not own.
