Password Manager Migration Checklist

Named-job password manager migration: SecurityChecklist keeps this draft free-first and claim-safe. Migrate because of a leftover job (sharing, recovery, multi-browser), not because of a sale banner. Optional paid cards use claim-ledger prices from 2026-08-09 (NordPass Premium from $1.39/mo on a 2-year USD plan; 1Password Individual $2.99/mo billed annually). Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished). Who should not buy: anyone who still reuses passwords on email without MFA, anyone who will not memorize or securely store a master secret, or anyone who needs a published overall score before deciding.

Direct verdict

Password Manager Migration Checklist: finish free controls first, then consider paid tools only for a leftover job you can name. Product scores stay unpublished (N/Pub) until signed test records exist.

Unpublished

Priority checklist

  1. Name the job the new vault must solve
  2. Enable MFA on source and destination accounts
  3. Export carefully; import; spot-check critical logins
  4. Keep the old vault briefly as rollback
  5. Securely delete plaintext exports

Ledger-verified starting prices show below when captured; otherwise cards stay confirm-live or pending. Overall scores stay unpublished (N/Pub). Never invent dollar amounts.

Checklist

  1. 1

    Name the migration job

    Free

    Switching vaults without a reason creates plaintext CSV risk for no gain. Document sharing, recovery, or browser needs.

    • Write the leftover job
    • Confirm destination features match
    • Schedule a calm migration window
  2. 2

    Export/import with hygiene

    Free

    Follow the export guide: no emailing CSV files, import promptly, delete plaintext leftovers.

    • MFA on both vaults
    • Import and spot-check email/banking
    • Delete export files from disk and trash
  3. 3

    Cut over deliberately

    Optional paid

    Update browser extensions, mobile apps, and family members. Keep the old vault until a week of normal use succeeds.

    • Install destination apps from official sources
    • Enable MFA on destination
    • Retire old vault after rollback window

  • Broken vendor importers
  • Passwords you never saved anywhere
