Here’s the story of me leaving LastPass. It was 2:30 AM on a Tuesday. I was about to go to bed. I went to Twitter and right there was Lifehacker warning me that LastPass was hacked and I should change my password. Hackers got the good stuff. But LastPass’s security was good enough (hash and salts) so if I had a really long password (which I did), I was fine. Still, I wanted to change my password. I tried a couple of times. Finally, I got through. This was around 3 AM. I typed in a whole new password and a hint which I thought was just right. Then I went to bed.

When I woke up and tried signing in to LastPass on Chrome, I couldn’t remember the password. Well, I’ll just recover the password I thought. Apparently, it’s only possible using a one-time recovery key stored locally, which I had already used up (I didn’t have backup OTPs, which was my mistake). I tried it from other places I had LastPass installed. Same. That was it. I was locked out.
Now, I had a choice. Either create a new LastPass account or give something else a try. All this LastPass hack stuff had me thinking of 1Password anyway. So I went researching, downloaded the trial, played around with the app. The Mac app was available for $35 that week (I already had the Pro version of iOS app). I jumped for it.
Sidenote: All my passwords were unique but based on a long pattern. So I didn’t need to reset all my accounts. I just needed to add them to 1Password and using the Chrome extension, that was easy to do. To know more about the best ways to create strong passwords, check out our guide.Here’s why. And there’s more to it than me just being careless with my LastPass account.
1. 1Password Doesn’t Use Servers to Sync
Unlike LastPass, 1Password uses a local database file that opens with the one master password. If you forget it, that’s it, you’re done.
LastPass, on the other hand, used their own servers to save passwords. While their security measures are really great, they’re still susceptible to hacks. The most recent one was last month. And while the hackers weren’t able to get to all the usernames and password if the user had a strong master password, it was still a cause of worry.
Hacking 1Password is a lot harder because, first of all, the local database in only stored on your Mac/PC. And even if you choose to upload it to Dropbox to make syncing easy, the hackers would still need to hack your individual account/PC. Which is a lot to go through. Slack notion. If you enable 2-factor authentication in Dropbox, you will be stress-free.
Plus, you don’t even have to use Dropbox to sync the database. 1Password will take care of the complicated bits to sync the database over local Wi-Fi network.
Making sense of the pricing structure: One thing that’s not simple about 1Password is the messed up pricing structure. Both Mac and Windows apps are $50 each (they go on sale often). The iOS app is free to use but certain Pro features require a $9.99 in-app purchase. Android app on the other hand only has a 30 day trial, after which you need to pay $9.99. Please do something about this AgileBits. With LastPass, you pay $12 a year and get access to Premium features everywhere.2. I Always Wanted an All Things Secured Bucket
I like to think of 1Password as less of a password manager and more as a bucket for “All things secured”. And 1Password makes it really easy to use it as one. We all have documents we need to keep digital versions of. But we’re never sure where they should go. Is Evernote or your email safe enough for a scanned copy of your passport or social security number? What about Credit Card details? What about those backup OTP codes where you have 2-factor authentication enabled?
When I was using LastPass, I never felt comfortable adding my Credit Card details there. But I did so in a second after signing up for 1Password. Because the way it’s built, I trust it more.
Plus, when it comes to Secured Notes, 1Password itself has more than a dozen presets with relevant fields ready. You don’t have to do anything. Also, it’s easy to attach files to a note. Say, you want to scan and upload a picture of your Passport along with the details – it’s easy to do. You can also create any kind of custom field you want.
3. 1Password Mini and Chrome Extension
I probably wouldn’t have switched to 1Password if it didn’t have a Chrome extension. LastPass had spoiled me. Although it’s nowhere near as good as LastPass’. I need to login every time I resume my Mac from sleep and it doesn’t have an autofill option. I need to manually select the website from the list to fill-in the details. It’s a bit harder, but I’ve got used to it.
Another really cool thing about 1Password is 1Password Mini. It’s the little menu bar app that’s always available. It’s easy to search details like account passwords and quickly copy it to the clipboard. Plus, you can generate a new password with any parameters you like instantly.
Miscellaneous
Watchtower: This feature was recently added to 1Password and it helps me keep track of which websites have been compromized and if I need to change my password. Plus 1Password also has a security audit tool built-in.
2 Factor Authentication: I’m sick of Google Authenticator, especially their Android app. 1Password has a system for 2FA it calls “Time-based One-Time Passwords”. I’m yet to try it (playing around with Authy right now). But the idea of having 2FA integrated right in my password manager is really intriguing to me. Especially because it’s going to work even on my Mac. Google Authenticator only works on mobile.

The content remains unbiased and authentic.#LastPass Hacked: What Now? We analyse the damage done by the hack to LastPass, suggest remedial steps and alternatives to those who want to jump ship.
Two good things happened to help you remember passwords with the iOS 8 update; the 1Password app became freemium, with most of the basic features available for free use, and Apple opened touch ID access for third party apps, which can be used in place of passwords.
Due to the previous reasons, I thought to give 1Password a shot on my iPhone 5S. The only thing holding me back was the 5 years of password data I had on my LastPass account, without which, using 1Password would be useless. Saving each password manually from scratch didn’t seem to be an intelligent choice. I would have preferred to sync my data from LastPass servers to iOS storage, but that can’t be done directly.
So let’s see how we can get that done using these steps. First of all we will see how we can transfer LastPass data to the Windows version of 1Password, and then we’ll have a look at how we can sync it with the iOS application.
Before we get started: Make sure you have the browser extension of LastPass and the Windows and iOS application for 1Password installed on the respective devices.LastPass to 1Password on Windows
So let’s begin. First we will have to export the LastPass data to our computer as a CSV (comma separated value) file; I will be using the Chrome LastPass extension for the task. You can also use the Firefox extension, as the steps are pretty similar. After you’ve logged in to the LastPass extension, select Tools –> Advanced Tools –> Export to LastPass CSV File.
The browser will ask you to select the location where you’d like to save the file. After you save, open the file using Excel. The top column of the file should state all the different parameters of the listing. If that’s not the case, edit the file to have the first row as shown in the screenshot.
Once that’s done, open the 1Password application installed on Windows. If you haven’t created a vault yet, create a new vault and log in to it using the newly created master password.
Having done that, click File –> Import and select the CSV file you imported from LastPass. Opera gx razer chroma.
The application will ask you to map the CSV file columns to the appropriate fields of the 1Password application. Please make sure you don’t select the wrong columns here or all your passwords and usernames will be mixed up.
Once that’s done, click on the OK option to complete the import.
1Password Windows to iOS
So that was how you can import the LastPass data to 1Password on Windows. Now, unlike LastPass, which creates and maintains an online vault, 1Password creates a local vault and that’s the reason the data on your computer is not synced to your iOS application automatically. So let’s see how we can sync our 1Password vault from the computer to iOS and retrieve all of our LastPass data.
After you install the iOS application, open the Windows application and select the option Wi-Fi sync from the menu. Once the Wi-Fi sync window appears, now open your iOS application. When you launch the app for the first time, it will give you the option to sync your existing vault.
Here select Sync using Wi-Fi. Now make sure that your computer and device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and the sync window is opened on the computer. Once you tap the computer that appears on the app, you will be asked to authenticate using the master password and an authentication code that appears on the screen.
The initial sync might take some time and once that’s done, all the data from the 1Password application from Windows will be transferred to iOS device.
You’re Done! Any Questions?
So that was how you can transfer all of your LastPass data to the 1Password app for iPhone and enjoy all the perks of 1Password’s freemium application that would otherwise require a premium subscription on LastPass. If you have any doubts about the process or get stuck anywhere, please use our comments section below and we’ll help you clear things up.
