For many LastPass users, a new password manager has been of interest over the past few years. Since LastPass announced they would only allow free users to use their service on either computers or phones in March 2021, many users started to migrate away from the service. Additionally, there was a cyberattack in 2021, a hack in August 2022 that stole its source code, and another breach in December 2022.
These issues and changes left a sour taste in many users’ mouths and have led them to search for a new password manager that’s available on all devices, from the best Chromebooks to the best budget Android phones. Google’s Password Manager is one of the best password managers for those looking to switch. It has several compelling features, including convenient integration with other Google services such as Android or Chrome, and offline password storage on desktop. This guide details how to export your passwords from LastPass and migrate them to Google Password Manager.
To export your passwords, you’ll use the browser extension on either a desktop or Chromebook. You can do it using the website, but it’s easier and quicker using the extension.
The CSV download of your passwords begins, and your passwords will be ready to export.
Now that you’ve exported your passwords from LastPass, it’s time to move them into Google Password Manager.
Your passwords are imported, and Google gives you a report of the passwords it couldn’t import.
If you use the Chrome browser on your computer, there is another way to import your passwords to the Google Password Manager.
Now that you’ve moved your password information to Google Password Manager, it’s time to delete your LastPass account. Before you delete your account, make sure all your passwords are successfully exported because there’s no going back after your account is deleted.
If you aren’t ready to delete your account, don’t feel like you have to. Make sure you’re comfortable before you go through with it.
If all the recent data breaches and plan changes to LastPass have made your eyes wander, Google Password Manager is a great alternative. It’s simple to export data from LastPass and import it to Google Password Manager to make the change. Once your passwords are saved to Google Password Manager, you can access them from Chrome on any device.
