![]() ![]() They likely got lost in the conversion from PP to 1Password, and so don’t appear in LastPass either. Some records just didn’t import at all.Such ‘tags’ are searchable as part of the full-text search capability in LastPass, but as they are entered manually, there’s no master list of tags to choose from as you start to enter one (1Password has tagging capability). Each record was tagged with the category it had in PP, but I can’t see any way to add tags to LastPass, except manually in the Notes field. NOTE: Almost all the imported records went in as Notes records (called Secure Notes in 1Password), with limited splitting out into fields.However, in my testing for 1Password, I’d converted a PP CSV file to 1Password’s *.1PIF file and that imported fine into LastPass.PP was NOT an import option type for LastPass, and the CSV file I’d exported from PP had NO records that LastPass recognised when I tried to import it.For those that I could add fields to, when you add them, you can’t rearrange them in the order you want, so you have to get them right first. ![]() might have this ability, but I need to test further. I *think* only those records I’d imported that had URLs, usernames, passwords etc. Some records have the ability to add extra fields, but I couldn’t figure out which ones they were-all were listed under Notes, but not all Notes records had editable fields.Records added using custom forms are listed under ‘Custom items’ in the left navigation pane. I successfully set up one for Product Information. NOTE: Once saved, you cannot edit this form, only delete it, so make sure you add everything you need when you set it up, PLUS a Notes field for all other info. I could add a custom category, with the fields I wanted, and in setting up those fields, I could arrange them in the order I wanted on the form.The date field is MMM dd, YYYY, but you choose the months from a drop-down lists, so it’s easy enough for a dd/mmm/yyyy user to use.The browser app (I use Chrome) was easy to use and navigate. This might be a showstopper* for me, but we’ll see. Here are the results of my testing (no particular priority order): (As an aside, when I went to create an account, LastPass told me there was already one for my email address… it took several tries, but I finally jagged my ‘master’ password and was able to open the trial I had set up in 2011 with 70+ records and never touched since!! Because I already had this account, I wasn’t asked to enter payment credentials, though I’m not sure that’s the case for totally new users.) ![]() My first tests were to see how easy the interface was to use, whether I could import my Passwords Plus (PP) data, what sort of template/categories it used, whether I could customise fields/field labels to suit my data etc. I didn’t download the Android app for it, but I did install the browser extension (it was required, so I couldn’t avoid that). That said, my next test, and the topic of this post was LastPass, which is a web-based app.Īs for 1Password, I only downloaded/installed the free trial of LastPass and tested some of the functionality that I wanted. I haven’t ruled out 1Password yet as it does have a Windows app, and that’s what I’m used to. If you observe this bug in your exported data, use a text editor to find and replace all altered values before importing into bitwarden.In Part 1 of this series of posts, I told you what I was looking for in a password manager, and documented some of the failings of the first one I tested-1Password. “Some users have reported a bug which changes special characters in your passwords (&,, and so on) to their HTML-encoded values (for example, &) in the printed export. You also need to do this (from the bitwarden site): This is a known bug in LastPass that they have never fixed. If you don’t do the exact steps above, then when you do an export from LastPass, it most likely will export some of your passwords twice (so you will have duplicates). Perform the export from inside LastPass (before doing any other actions inside of LastPass) Yes, you can export them from LastPass as a csv fileīut the steps to this correctly are this:ĥ. ![]()
