In your web browser, head to the extensions page in your settings menu (usually accessible in the upper right of your browser window) and delete the LastPass extension. On Windows open the Start Menu, and under Programs click LastPass, then Uninstall LastPass.
The final step is to remove any LastPass apps you have installed. It'll take you saying, yes, I really want to do this several more times, but in the end your account will be deleted. Click and you'll finally get a page where you can enter your master password and delete your account. This will open, yes, another new page, where there is another Delete Account button. This will open a new tab where you should see a button that says Delete or Reset Account. If you run into any problems, see Bitwarden's instructions for some helpful screenshots. Click Import Data and Bitwarden will do its thing. Chose the LastPass (CSV) option from the format dropdown and navigate to the CSV file you saved earlier when exporting your data from LastPass. Then log in to your Web Vault, click the Tools option in the top navigation bar, and then select Import data from the menu.

LastPass comfortably beats Microsoft’s solution as it is accessible on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Android Wear, and Apple Watch. And if you’re still not using a password manager, then it’s time you do. While LastPass is rather late with this launch, it’s still good news for long-time users. The premium membership option is still there, of course, for added features. The LastPass Mac app is free to download, just like it is free to create an account.
It will still sync all your passwords and autofill data across all devices as well as the ability to enable multifactor authentication, which allows you to lock down your LastPass account. Instead of having to rely on your browser, you can use the app to manage all your passwords. Yesterday, LastPass finally released a standalone Mac app, which makes it even more useful. You either have to login to your LastPass account on your web browser or use the extension/plugin. The thing about LastPass is that you can only use it when you’re online. You can even generate ultra secure passwords – and not worry about remembering them (which is virtually impossible anyway). All you need to remember is one master password, and you can forget everything else. That’s why password management software like LastPass is so popular. While that would have been a relatively easy thing 10 years or so ago, with the number of online accounts the average person has today, remember all those passwords would be no mean feat. We all know that thing called security, which requires us to choose strong passwords, different passwords for each account, as well as remember all of them.
