Importing LastPass Required Notepad++

[compumatter]

I have over 800 credentials exported from Lastpass and pasted into Windows Notepad then saved as a csv file being careful to save using the Unicode setting.

I used the import feature within your plugin (thank you).

However, it failed without errors. It appeared to begin some processes but quickly failed without warning or feedback. I had the same problem in Firefox as in Chrome.

On a separate attempt I did everything the same but used Notepad++ instead of Notepad and the import worked perfectly.

Wanted to pass this along as it appears that it is a bug even in Unicode if the write software is not used. Strange but true.

Thank you for reporting it, the could make for a nice wiki page, as lastpass tends to cause import issues due to their awful export process.

I agree. If you are able to provide edit access for me I am happy to add this to your wiki.

Wikis 
GitHub Wikis is a simple way to let others contribute content. 
Any GitHub user can create and edit pages to use for documentation, examples, support, or anything you wish.

I think you should be able to edit the wiki.

No ability for me to edit the wiki.

I think it's a project owner thing. https://help.github.com/articles/editing-wiki-pages-via-the-online-interface/

Two things I noticed today, when working on Linux:

1. The issue is that lastpass export had some "binary" characters on it, like several characters of hex value 0x10 ; I had to replace them with spaces
2. My export used unix line ending, I used tool "unix2dos" to convert it into windows-styled line endings

After doing both, I have successfully run the import.

Ubuntu user here: I exported the passwords from Lastpass, got a webpage. Did ctrl-a ctrl-c to copy the passwords Opened gedit Pasted passwords to geditwith ctrl-v Deleted empty lines in beginning Deleted 0x10 characters, did not replace with anything. Saved file Used unix2dos to convert to right format Import success.

Prior to this I attempted quite a few different variations of the above until it worked.
