Has anyone migrated off of LastPass recently? How was it? I've been a user for decades, and though my frustration with them has been mounting for a long time, I've felt locked in. Migrating seems like a pain, especially for elderly relatives on my plan who will have difficulty picking up a new manager (it was hard enough for them to learn to use a manager in the first place), but every time I use 1Pass for work it blows me away how much better it is. Meanwhile LastPass continually makes their apps worse and more painful to use (and has the audacity to put me into "tutorial mode" every so often, as if someone using the app for the majority of its existence doesn't understand how a vault works), not to mention how many times failed vault syncs result in the losses of new passwords, and of course the data breach :/
So I'm wondering just how bad the experience of switching is now?

I did several years ago, it was very straightforward: Export all your passwords from LP (keeping a close eye on where that file is downloaded to), and then import into 1Pass (then permanent-delete that residual downloaded file since it's plaintext of all your user info). Test with 1Pass and browser extensions. Then cleanup in LP: delete all passwords, then deactivate the account, uninstall browser extensions (and watch for any sneaky subscription auto-charges later, which I did experience and had to protest). Passkeys might require reset, I didn't have any when I migrated.

Better yet: Don't use LastPass.

I am surprised that this company still exists and that they have actual users after all the major security incidents.
