Import fails to handle ampersands in the password field
Hi!
When importing a LastPass export via their web interface into 1Password via the app or web interface 1Password fails to identify and correct encoded ampersands in the password field. For instance, a LastPass password that includes '&' replaces "&" with "&" and is not changed back to "&" during the 1Password import.
I can find/replace to fix my export but wanted to share for troubleshooting info and as a possible enhancement.
1Password Version: 6.8.496
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: Not Provided

Sort of a known issue, and thanks. Bit me too when I became a customer... did you use Firefox?
Problem with known issues and being a new customer, is it is an unknown known issue!

@headhertz -- yep, @AlwaysSortaCurious is correct -- this happens only under very specific circumstances; I'm sorry you got bit by this. Sounds like you were using Firefox; if you try it again using Chrome, you should be fine.

Yes, I used Firefox for the export. I'll try exporting with chrome when I do the same migration for my wife. Thanks for the additional info!

We recently updated this 1Password Support article to mention the LastPass exporter bug and what to do to avoid it.
