1Password - LastPass Transition Status & FAQs

FAQs on the transition to 1Password from LastPass

Transitioning to 1Password from LastPass will be a multi-month process that involves steps for users, administrators, and others. Current LastPass users will be provisioned for and migrated to 1Password first, with the service being opened to new users in 2025. Our goal is to migrate all users and Shared Folders out of LastPass by May 23, 2025, when our LastPass license expires.

All current users of LastPass will have accounts automatically provisioned in 1Password. The migration process for each user will vary based upon their current usage of LastPass. In general, there are two components for migration: Shared Folders and individual secrets. Due to the zero-knowledge nature of Password Managers, current users will be responsible for migrating their individual vaults. This is because only the user, not LastPass or UW-Madison admins, can access the contents of a users’ LastPass vault. 1Password offers a migration tool to import directly from LastPass in a secure way: 1Password - Copy Your Passwords from LastPass

Shared Folders can be migrated by LastPass Shared Folder admins. The 1Password service team will be reaching out to these admins to coordinate Shared Folder migration.

If you have questions or concerns, or run into an issue with 1Password during this transition time, please contact the 1Password administrators at 1passwordadmins@office365.wisc.edu
