Lastpass not importing & properly about clients HOT 9 CLOSED

This has been reported before and I believe that it was determined that the encoding of the file was causing the issue. Try opening your CSV and re-saving it explicitly as a UTF-8 encoding and try again.

I did it again using Visual Studio Code and made sure to select UTF-8 at the bottom. Saved it as lastpass_export.csv on the desktop and imported it. Same issue as last time with & appearing as & as well as the < appear as < and > with >. This IS how it appears in the csv generated by LastPass itself (the code and not the character).

Can you put together a quick example file with a few sites in it that I can use to reproduce the issue and attach it here?

from clients.

Won't let me attach .csv here, I will put it in code:

url,username,password,extra,name,grouping,fav
https://www.facebook.com/,[email protected],J!rlZxaO3X5,,Facebook,Social,0
https://www.reddit.com/,tester,"6t1J,>AVonp",,Reddit,Social,0
https://twitter.com/login,[email protected],YnrtAD8Uj3`,,Twitter,Social,0

This is the format that the LastPass extension spits out.
Hope this example is enough...

So if I understnad correctly based on your example, it looks like this is a problem with LastPass's exporter, rather than bitwarden's importer? Your export file is showing >

from clients.

Yes, that is what I had mentioned in my second comment, that it was LastPass exporting it that way. I posted this issue because I wasn't sure if your import code was parsing through that and fixing it. If it is something you would rather wait and have LastPass fix, I can try to contact them instead.

from clients.

I can't really fix it unfortunately. How would I know that someone didn't explicitly have their password with those characters?

from clients.

Very true, I will bring this up with LastPass. Thanks for your time checking this out!
