As LastPass started using trackers, many users have started thinking of moving to another password manager. If you want to move from LastPass to another password manager, you must have the .csv file containing all the passwords. As most dedicated password managers allow users to import.csv files, you need to export LastPass passwords to CSV so that you can use them for another service.
There are mainly two different ways to export all LastPass passwords to CSV or Comma-Separated Values format. One, you can use the official website. Two, you can export passwords from the browser extension, which is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We have shown the detailed steps for each, and you can follow them according to your wish.
