LastPass stores passwords so securely, not even its users can access them

I tried that once but ran into so many errors for passwords that contained characters like ", or ;" that I gave up. Is there a way around this other then copying every entry manually?

Yes, the lastpass exporter has an issue. You can do a search and replace.

Or you can do what I did and when I reach a site that had an issue, I would just look at the password and there would be an obvious parsing error, e.g "&" is instead "amp&" and would just modify it manually.

Only happened a few times and then all is good.

I did the same switch like 5 years ago, and I remember having to `sed` (i.e. global find + replace) the LastPass output .csv to fix special characters before importing it into 1Password. Sadly I don't remember any more detail than that, but yes, there may be some manual massaging required. YMMV.

You can edit the password recipe for websites that suck and don't allow certain characters.
