Mobile Password Import at a glance
- Switch to LastPass without starting over
- Easily move credentials in bulk from a browser, another password manager, or app
- Get value from your vault immediately
- Complete onboarding directly from your phone
Switching password managers shouldn't mean starting over.
If you're like most people, your passwords are spread across browsers, devices, and apps. The average U.S. household now has about 11 connected devices, and that number is growing.
Which means our digital lives are more fragmented than ever, and moving passwords can feel like more work than it's worth.
That's why we created Mobile Password Import.
Starting today, LastPass makes importing faster and simpler with Mobile Password Import.
Whether your passwords are stored in Apple Passwords, Chrome, or another password manager, Mobile Password Import lets you transfer credentials in bulk instead of adding them one at a time.
On iOS, you can securely transfer credentials from Apple Passwords to LastPass with Apple's Credential Exchange framework, with no CSV file required. If you'd like to use the CSV export method, we've also made that available for both iOS and Android.
Why password migration remains a challenge and how Mobile Import helps
As you rely on more devices, browsers, and apps, credentials become scattered across multiple locations. The more passwords you save, the more overwhelming it can feel to switch tools, even when you know stronger security would benefit you.
And if you're in business, switching can mean resistance, especially if employees like the familiarity of browser managers.
Mobile Password Import removes that friction, making it easier to bring existing credentials into LastPass and start protecting them right away.
How Mobile Import works
On iPhone, you can securely transfer passwords directly from Apple Passwords with Apple's Credential Exchange framework, without exporting a file.
Direct import from Apple Passwords
- Select Import passwords, which will open the Import from Passwords screen.
- Next, select Open Passwords. iOS will open the other app.
- In the Passwords app, find the export option under More.
- Select the items to export, and then select LastPass.
- LastPass will show Your credentials are in your vault with a count, such as 22 of 22 items.
- Finally, select Continue to vault or Review import results.
Prefer a CSV import? You can do that too on either iOS or Android.
CSV import on iOS and Android
- Select Import passwords and choose the source, such as Chrome.
- Open the other app or browser and export passwords as a .csv file. The screen links to export instructions for that source.
- Select Add a file (.csv) and choose the exported file.
- Finally, select Import.
