Migrating from LastPass to KeePass: A Complete Guide
LastPass, KeePass, and 1Password are all excellent password managers, each with unique features. Recently, I have fully migrated from LastPass to KeePass. KeePass is a free, open-source password management software.
Previously, I used the free version of LastPass. The reason for switching to KeePass was not that LastPass was unusable, but because the free version only supports a single client. To use it on a mobile phone, you must upgrade to the premium version. The premium version is not particularly expensive ($12/year). If you are interested, you can register for LastPass to get a one-month premium trial.
LastPass stores passwords in the cloud, whereas KeePass stores passwords locally. Therefore, if you choose KeePass, you may need to do some configuration. However, password synchronization across devices can be easily achieved using services like Dropbox or坚果云 (Jianguoyun).
Setting KeePass to Chinese
You can visit the KeePass official download page to download the client. After installing KeePass, visit http://keepass.info/translations.html to download the corresponding language pack. Place the language pack in the KeePass installation directory, then open KeePass, go to View -> Change Language, and select Chinese.
Exporting LastPass Data to KeePass
Download and install the LastPass Pocket program from the official LastPass website. Export your data in .csv format, and then import it into KeePass via File -> Import -> Generic CSV Importer (see screenshot below).
Password Synchronization
Since the KeePass database is stored locally, if you need to use KeePass across multiple devices (KeePass supports various clients, including mobile devices), you must handle database backups yourself. I recommend using Dropbox or Jianguoyun, which support multiple historical backups, to complete synchronization.
Summary
KeePass is slightly more complex to use than LastPass, and tasks like password synchronization require manual setup. However, its advantages are that it is open-source and free. If you prefer not to deal with these details, you can try LastPass, though using it on mobile devices requires a paid upgrade to the premium version. Ultimately, the best choice is the one that suits your needs.
