LastPass to Microsoft Edge converter

LastPass and Microsoft Edge both use CSV, but LastPass writes 8 columns; Microsoft Edge expects 5 in a different order — so Edge rejects a raw LastPass export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Edge accepts.

Convert your LastPass export

Drop your LastPass CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file LastPass gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

What's actually different between the two formats

Only 4 of 8 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for Edge to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

LastPass columnMicrosoft Edge columnWhat happens
name name Same name, position adjusted
username username Same name, position adjusted
password password Same name, position adjusted
url url Same name, position adjusted
totp — none — Edge has no 2fa secret field. Written into notes instead of dropped.
extra note Renamed and repositioned
grouping — none — Edge has no folder field. Written into notes instead of dropped.
fav — none — Edge has no favorite field. Written into notes instead of dropped.

What carries over

FieldLastPassEdgeResult
Item name / title Yes Yes Carried over
Username and password Yes Yes Carried over
Website URL Yes Yes Carried over
Notes Yes Yes Carried over
Folders / groups Yes No Written into the notes field as "Folder: …" so you can re-sort later.
Two-factor (TOTP) secrets Yes No Written into notes. Re-add them by hand, or keep them in a separate authenticator.
Favorites Yes No Dropped — re-star your important entries after importing.
Custom fields Yes No Flattened into notes as name: value pairs.
Multiple URLs per entry No No Not in the source file
File attachments Yes No No CSV export includes attachments. Download them out of LastPass separately before you close the account — this is the one thing people lose permanently.

Step 1 — Export from LastPass

  1. Sign in to your LastPass vault in the browser extension or at lastpass.com.
  2. Open Advanced Options → Export.
  3. Re-enter your master password and complete the email confirmation if prompted.
  4. LastPass either downloads a CSV or prints the data to a browser page — if it prints to the page, copy all of it into a plain text file and save it as .csv.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses LastPass's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes Microsoft Edge's exact expected columns — including the empty ones its importer requires and, where the two differ, the right shape for 2FA secrets. You'll see a preview and a list of anything Edge can't hold before you download.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into Microsoft Edge

  1. Go to edge://settings/passwords.
  2. Select the ••• menu → Import passwords → choose CSV file.
  3. Pick the converted file.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

  1. Open ten entries in Microsoft Edge at random and check them against LastPass.
  2. Your folder names were written into each entry's note. Re-sort them however Edge organizes items.
  3. Sign in to one real site using Microsoft Edge to confirm autofill works.
  4. Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
  5. Only then close your LastPass account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't Microsoft Edge import my LastPass file directly?

Only 4 of 8 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for Edge to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into Microsoft Edge's exact expected layout, including the column order and any empty columns its importer requires.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

What gets lost moving from LastPass to Microsoft Edge?

Microsoft Edge can't natively store: folders / groups, two-factor (totp) secrets, favorites, custom fields, file attachments. Rather than drop that data, the converter writes it into the notes field where Edge has one, so you can move it back by hand. Keep your LastPass account active until you've confirmed everything you need made it across.

Can I keep my 2FA codes in Microsoft Edge?

No — Microsoft Edge has no field for TOTP secrets at all. The converter puts each secret into the entry's note so it isn't lost, but Edge won't generate codes from it. Move those to a dedicated authenticator app before you shut down LastPass, or pick a target that supports them.

Is the export file from LastPass encrypted?

No. A LastPass CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about LastPass's export?

Secure notes come out in the same CSV as logins, with the note body in the "extra" column and url set to http://sn. Converters that ignore this turn every note into a broken login.

Anything unusual about importing into Microsoft Edge?

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.
