LastPass exporting does not include file attachments. We recommend that you download your file attachments before exporting.

Export from the LastPass website vault:

  2. Open “Advanced Options” and select “Export”.
  3. This will send a confirmation letter to your email address. Open the letter and select “Continue export”.
  4. Return to the LastPass website vault, open “Advanced Options”, and select “Export”.

    To change text format in TextEdit: open TextEdit -> Format -> Make Plain Text.

    After you saved the text file, rename it by adding ".csv" to the end of the file name (e.g., file.csv)
