What is the transition process?
All users with primary accounts that were enrolled in LastPass Business have been automatically provisioned in 1Password.
Pitt Digital migrated all LastPass Shared Folders to 1Password Shared Vaults upon launch of the service on 9/10/2025. When shared folders are imported from LastPass, permissions are also imported automatically. Each shared folder gets converted into a vault, every item in the shared folder is added to the vault, and permissions for the folder are also applied to the vault. Any changes to shared credentials will not be transferred from LastPass to 1Password after that date, since the 1Password migration tool does not overwrite existing data matches. So, existing users should to not modify any credentials in Shared Folders in LastPass on or after 9/10/2025.
When you import Shared Folders from LastPass:
- Each Shared Folder is converted into a Vault, and all items in the folder are copied.
- Vault Permissions are applied based on LastPass settings as outlined below:
-
| LastPass Permission |
1Password Permission |
| Administer |
Manage Vault |
| Read-only |
View Items |
| Hide passwords |
Removes "View and Copy Passwords" Permissions |
- Vault items are applied based on LastPass item types as outlined below:
-
| LastPass item type |
1Password item type |
| Password |
Login |
| Address |
Identity |
| Application |
Login |
| Custom item |
Secure Note |
| File or one-time password attached to an item |
Automatically attached to the same item.* |
| Bank Account, Credit Cards, and others |

Due to the zero-knowledge nature of password managers, current LastPass Business users are responsible for migrating their individual vaults. This is because only the user, not LastPass or Pitt Digital admins, can access the contents of a users’ LastPass vault. 1Password offers a migration tool to import directly from LastPass in a secure way. For directions visit the 1Password webpage Move your data from LastPass to 1Password in the desktop app.

Will there be availability overlap with LastPass and 1Password?
Yes. LastPass licenses are valid until September 26, 2025. Users will have until this date to migrate their individual vaults from LastPass to 1Password. The zero-knowledge architecture of Password Managers requires users to migrate themselves from one tool to the other. For directions visit the 1Password webpage "Move your data from LastPass to 1Password in the desktop app."

LastPass users can transfer passwords, Secure Notes, and other items from LastPass into 1Password in the desktop app.

How will shared folders be migrated from LastPass to 1Password?
Shared folders will be converted to vaults, and will include their group permissions. We will create groups in 1Password with the same names as LastPass groups. Shared folders can only be imported by someone who has administrator privileges in the shared folder. After a shared folder is imported, it will not be available for other administrators to import.

What do I do if I get the error "Unable to import your passwords. Check your notifications to approve the login, then try again."
This error is due to the advanced security setting to require email verification from unknown devices and locations. The simplest solution is to check your inbox for an email from LastPass with the subject "LastPass Security Notification: Login attempt blocked." Then, select the verification link within the email. You will then be able to attempt the data import again.
Alternatively, you can change an advanced setting within the LastPass browser extension. To do this, in the LastPass browser extension navigate to Account Settings > Show Advanced Settings, and check "Disable Email Verification." Save the changes, and then try the import again.
How are vault permissions enforced in 1Password accounts?
1Password has published an excellent knowledge article. Please visit https://support.1password.com/permission-enforcement/
How can I organize imported items?
All imported items will have a LastPass tag. Use this tag to organize and verify your imported data.

What happens with my saved credentials if I leave Pitt?
Terminated accounts and accounts that convert to alumni will lose access to 1Password. If a student worker or employee has any work items in their vault that others will need to access later, they should be moved to a vault others have access to.
Is there a free personal account option available like there is with LastPass?
Users with an active 1Password Enterprise account get a complimentary 1Password Families membership, which they can share with family. To redeem the free membership, the family account is linked to the enterprise account. You will find the ability to redeem the Families membership only after being logged in with your Business account.
What is the Company Token that I am being asked to enter when trying to create my account on the 1Password website?
Users cannot create their own 1Password Business accounts. Users of LastPass Business who previously enrolled through the Pitt enterprise environment already received an invite to the 1Password platform. If you cannot find the invite, you were not enrolled in Pitt's LastPass Business environment. Prospective new users will need to request an account. To request a 1Password account, complete this form: 1Password Business User License. Due to licensing limitations, all requests will be evaluated on University relationship and business use case justification.
