Migrate from LastPass to 1Password in 15 minutes
Your data matters. After the 2022 breach that exposed 1.6M LastPass users, millions are switching. Here's exactly how to move your passwords, what carries over, and why you might want to consider an even safer option.
The LastPass breach is still unfolding
In December 2022, LastPass suffered a major security breach. By December 2025, reports confirmed 1.6 million users were exposed. Worse: attackers are still exploiting those compromised credentials.
Last month, Medium reported ongoing exploitation tied to the 2022 breach. Users aren't just worried about past access: they're watching for future breaches.
If you use LastPass, your vault might be sitting in the wild. Moving now isn't paranoia. It's practical.
The data that moves with you
Don't worry: migration is straightforward. Your passwords, secure notes, attachments, addresses, and credit cards all transfer directly. 1Password's import tool makes it painless — just upload your LastPass CSV export and you're done in minutes.
What does NOT transfer automatically
Passkeys must be manually re-set up in the new manager. TOTP/Authenticator codes (your 2FA backup) must be re-entered from your authenticator app. Private folders become tags. Trash isn't copied — only active items migrate. Plan for 15-30 minutes total effort.
Step-by-step migration walkthrough
Whether you're moving to 1Password or Vaultwarden, the process is nearly identical. Here's exactly what happens.
Export from LastPass
Open your LastPass vault. Go to Account Settings > Advanced > Export vault. Choose CSV format (the most compatible). Download the file to your computer. Do not share this file — it contains all your passwords in plain text.
Create your new account
Sign up for 1Password or start your Vaultwarden trial on Opsily. Email and password, no credit card required for the trial. Download the desktop app or use the web vault.
Import your vault
In your new manager, find Import > CSV or Import Data. Upload your LastPass export. The app automatically maps your passwords, notes, and card data. Review for any items that need re-naming or organizing.
Re-add what didn't import
Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.). For each account that uses TOTP, manually add the 2FA code to your new password manager. This is the most time-consuming part, but essential.
Test and confirm
Pick 5 random passwords and log into those accounts using autofill from your new manager. Verify everything works. Update browser extensions to use your new vault.
Delete your LastPass vault
Once you've confirmed all passwords work, delete your LastPass account permanently. This removes your data from their servers and closes the security hole.
Why Vaultwarden for your LastPass to 1Password migration

Migration questions answered
Everything you need to know to move from LastPass — whether to 1Password or Vaultwarden.
Total migration time is typically 15-30 minutes for most personal vaults. The process breaks down as: export from LastPass (2 min) + create 1Password account (1 min) + import CSV (5 min) + manually re-add TOTP codes (3-10 min depending on how many accounts use 2FA) + testing (2-3 min). The longest step is re-entering authenticator codes if you have many accounts. Without 2FA codes to re-add, most people finish in under 15 minutes.
