1Password imports directly from a LastPass account in its desktop app, and turns LastPass shared folders into vaults with their permissions.
Quick verdict: Set up 1Password Business (or the Teams Starter Pack for up to 10 people), then use the desktop app’s LastPass import to bring each user’s items across, including shared folders as vaults with permissions. Passkeys are not imported. Ask LastPass admins to lift any “Prohibit export” policy first.
Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
1Password’s desktop app imports straight from a LastPass account.
Permissions come across with them.
Teams Starter Pack: $24.95 a month for 10 users (annual).
If your LastPass admin blocked exports with the “Prohibit export” policy, lift it for the migration.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Lift export restrictions | In the LastPass admin console, allow export for the users being migrated. |
| 2Set up 1Password | Choose Teams Starter Pack or Business and invite users. |
| 3Import from LastPass | Each user signs in to LastPass from the 1Password desktop app’s import screen, or uploads a LastPass CSV on 1Password.com. |
| 4Check shared vaults | Review vaults created from LastPass shared folders and their permissions. |
| 5Re-add passkeys | Passkeys are not imported; register new ones in 1Password. |
| 6Close LastPass | Delete any CSV exports securely, then close the LastPass account. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
Passkeys are not imported. LastPass policies, SSO app catalogue and reporting need rebuilding in 1Password Business.

Yes, directly from a LastPass account in the 1Password desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux), or from a CSV.
Yes: LastPass shared folders become 1Password vaults with their permissions.
Per user, yes: $8.99 on 1Password Business against $7 on LastPass Business (annual billing).
Moving vaults does not require it, but it is a good moment to rotate shared and high-risk credentials and to run the new tool’s breach and weak-password report.
