Migration Guide

Move from LastPass to Claspt

After the breaches, you deserve a vault that never stores your data on someone else's server. Move to Claspt — offline-first, encrypted, and yours.

Why people leave LastPass

Trust is hard to rebuild after it breaks.

Security breaches

The 2022 LastPass breach exposed encrypted vaults, URLs in plain text, and user metadata. Attackers got a copy of millions of password vaults. With weak master passwords, those vaults are crackable. It was the kind of breach that shouldn't happen to a password manager.

Rising prices, shrinking features

LastPass used to be the generous free option. Now the free tier limits you to one device type (desktop or mobile, not both). Premium costs keep climbing while trust keeps falling. You're paying more for less confidence.

Feature degradation

Post-acquisition LastPass has stripped features from free users, forced migration to new apps, and introduced friction at every step. Longtime users feel the product is optimized for revenue, not security.


Migration in 5 steps

You can be fully switched in under 15 minutes.

1

Export from LastPass

Log into the LastPass web vault at lastpass.com. Go to Advanced Options → Export. Authenticate again. Download the CSV file. Keep it safe — it contains all your credentials in plain text.

2

Download Claspt

Get the free desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux from claspt.app. Install and open it. No account, no email, no sign-up form. Just launch and go.

3

Create your vault

Create a new vault and set a strong master passphrase. Your vault is stored locally as encrypted markdown files. Nothing is sent to any server.

4

Import your data

Use File → Import → LastPass CSV. Select your export file. Claspt will convert your logins, secure notes, and form fills into secret blocks embedded in markdown notes.

5

Reorganize and enhance

Organize your imported credentials into folders. Add context — write notes above each secret, group related accounts together. Then securely delete the CSV export file.

Frequently asked questions

How do I export my LastPass vault?

Log into the LastPass web vault, go to Advanced Options > Export, and download your data as a CSV file. Then import that CSV into Claspt using File > Import > LastPass CSV.

Is Claspt more secure than LastPass?

Claspt uses AES-256-GCM per-block encryption and stores data locally on your device — not on cloud servers. There is no central server to breach. Your vault files never leave your machine unless you choose to sync them yourself.

Does Claspt cost less than LastPass?

Yes. Claspt is completely free on desktop with unlimited vaults and secrets. The Pro plan at $5/month adds mobile sync. LastPass Premium is $3/month and limits free users to a single device type.

Can I use Claspt on multiple devices?

The free desktop plan works on all your computers. For mobile sync and cross-device access, the Pro plan ($5/month) adds encrypted cloud sync via your own Git remote or Claspt's relay.
