How do I import stored data into LastPass using a generic CSV file?
If LastPass does not support importing from your current password manager via the on-screen instructions, you may be able to import using a generic CSV file. Before proceeding, please check that your current password manager has an option to export to a CSV file.
Generic CSV file overview
If you use your own spreadsheet instead, it is important that the title of the columns match the format used in the examples within our sample template. Fill the columns with the values you’d like for each entry (leave blank if the value is not relevant).
- url – typically the login URL, but you can use http://sn to create a Secure Note
- username – the username used for the site entry
- password – the password used for the site entry
- extra – can be either the "notes" section of a site entry or the body of a secure note
- name – the name to identify the site entry or secure note in your vault
- grouping – the folder where you would like the item to be stored in your vault
- fav – enter a 1, if the entry should be added as a Favorite but by default the value will be 0 (indicating that it should not be added as a Favorite)
- totp – enter the TOTP code generated for your site entry (learn more about this feature)
