USING LASTPASS

LASTPASS shuts down the normal OSX Keychain function, probably to prevent conflicts with the automatic login functions of both utilities. Addition of new logins is simple and easy, once you provided the
credentials LASTPASS stores the information. New visits to the website will be recognized bij LastPass and automatically filled. New and better passwords are suggested and the Generator offers several
options of security level.

Using the web-interface is really easy. The Template shows the saved websites and mouse-hover will activate the LAUNCH button:

Adding new sites or Folders etc is activated on the right sidebar of the template.

Create new SHARED FOLDERS

It shows LASTPASS has a real intuitive interface which makes it easy to use. When many logins are stored, scrolling is not easy anymore. Good to see that the interface has a nice search and find integrated in the top-bar.

 

IMPORT .pif FROM 1PASSWORD

1Password version 4 and above currently only allow exports in the .1pif file format. To export, just choose File > Export.

To import the file into Lastpass, it is recommended that you do so in Firefox for the most reliable results:

1. Click on the LastPass Icon in your browser
   – Go to More Options > Advanced > Import to open the Import page. Choose 1Password from the drop down.
   – A dialogue should open allowing you to choose a file to import. Find the location that you exported the 1pif file to and  double click on it (likely called data.1pif).
   – A new window should open in Firefox listing all of your 1password exported data.
   – Ensure that all the information you want is listed and checked under ‘Import?’
2. Click ‘Import’ at the top of the page

 

VERDICT

LASTPASS is a great and versatile application for managing your passwords and logins. Absolutely one of the best password managers on the market. For $12 a year you can’t go wrong.
Fantastic ticket service PREMIUM users. High security with TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION. 

1Password users are able to import their passwords and logins into LastPass, but not without some errors.
