LastPass is for logging into sites every day. HeirVault is for leaving encrypted docs, logins, bank details, and files that unlock only after check-in rules. Different jobs.
Keep day-to-day passwords in a password manager. For the accounts your family would need, import your LastPass CSV export directly into HeirVault, including the TOTP column, so logins and 2FA codes are ready at claim. Put docs, directives, and files you want encrypted until claim there too.
No. Your live vault is protected by end-to-end encryption. It encrypts in your browser before upload, so HeirVault cannot decrypt it. HeirVault-assisted delivery stores a protected key for that beneficiary handoff only and transfers it to the beneficiary account after claim. That means assisted handoffs are not end-to-end to the beneficiary alone. Invite now and shared beneficiary passphrase delivery keep the handoff key off HeirVault servers.
