Data from LastPass, Penn's previous password management tool, can be transferred to Dashlane through several methods. The University's contract with LastPass expired September 26, 2024. Data from LastPass Premium vaults will not be lost after that date and can still be migrated. LastPass Enterprise accounts are no longer accessible.

There are several considerations when migrating data from LastPass to Dashlane. There are different methods of transferring data, and shared passwords, in particular, need an extra set of considerations.

• LastPass data does not map one-to-one with Dashlane
  LastPass' shared folders are replaced by "collections" within Dashlane, with a separate set of considerations. There is no hierarchy of folders, so any sub-folders in LastPass will be transferred as individual collections.
• Different methods of transferring data have different considerations
  Data can be exported from LastPass or imported directly from the Dashlane console, but what data can be captured differs on the method.
• Trying to import an existing username/password into a Dashlane vault will fail
  If you try to import an existing username/password combination into a Dashlane vault, it will not overwrite the previous entry. If the previous username/password combination was incorrect, delete it from Dashlane before importing it again. (It is possible to get duplicate usernames/passwords in Dashlane, but usually when importing the same combination from different sources)

The integrated Dashlane migration tool can transfer personal vaults directly from LastPass into Dashlane. This method does not transfer data from shared folders and linked LastPass accounts. The migration tool is the preferred method of transferring data from a LastPass Premium account.

To migrate data using the migration tool:

1. Log into the Dashlane web console and open your personal vault.
2. Click on "My Account" in the upper-right corner of the screen and select "Settings."
3. In the Settings menu that appears, click "Import Data."
4. From the drop-down menu that appears, click "LastPass."
5. Select "Directly from Lastpass (encrypted)" and select "Go to LastPass."
6. Log into LastPass in the window that appears.
7. If your LastPass data is locked (likely) you'll get an error and be presented with an "Unlock your data with your LastPass login" screen. Enter your LastPass username and master password here, and click the "Unlock Data" button.
8. You'll be presented with a list of items to import--select where you want each item to go in the drop-down menu and click "Import Items."

You can export a .csv of your LastPass data and import it into Dashlane. This method has the notable downside of putting password data in an unencrypted .csv file, but it is the only method of transferring data from  LastPass shared folders.

Step 1: Export your data from LastPass

1. Log into your LastPass vault.
2. Click on "Advanced Options" in the lower-left and select "Export" from the pop-up menu that appears.
3. You'll get an email notification asking you to confirm the export. Approve the export and return to your vault. (If you don't see a prompt immediately, select "Export" from the Advanced Options menu again)
4. You'll be prompted to re-enter your master password. Do so and you'll download a .csv file of your vault, including shared passwords and any linked accounts.
5. IMPORTANT: Open your .csv file and verify that the format is correct. A comma indicates a new cell in a CSV file, so any passwords that had commas in them will be split into multiple cells. You'll need to manually fix any passwords that were broken in the export.

Step 2: Import your data from LastPass

1. Log into the Dashlane web console and open your personal vault.
2. Click on "My Account" in the upper-right corner of the screen and select "Settings."
3. In the Settings menu that appears, click "Import Data."
4. From the dropdown menu that appears, click "LastPass."
5. Select "From a downloaded CSV (unencrypted; compatible with LastPass SSO)" and click "Get Started."
6. At the next screen, drag-and-drop your .csv file or select it for upload and click "Next."
7. You'll be presented with a list of items to import--select where you want each item to go in the drop-down menu and click "Import Items." 

Collections are Dashlane's equivalent of the LastPass shared folder;  while there are some similarities, there are some significant differences  to take into consideration when importing LastPass shared folders,  especially into Dashlane Business accounts:

Similarities

• Collections can be shared with individuals or groups. (Groups are a Dashlane Business feature)
• Permissions can be assigned to individual collections to restrict access, password visibility, provide read-only access, etc.

Differences

• A single item can exist in multiple collections in Dashlane instead of being tied to a single shared folder as in LastPass.
• There is no hierarchy of collections; you cannot have a sub-collection like a sub-folder in LastPass.
• Some permissions apply to the entire collection in Dashlane rather than to a user/group level.
• For Dashlane Business accounts, collections are not globally visible like shared folders are in LastPass
