There are known bugs with the LastPass exporter regarding the ampersand character (<code>&amp;</code>). The LastPass exporter may change all ampersand characters in your passwords to the value <code>&amp;amp;</code>. If this LastPass bug affects your export you should use a text editor (such as notepad) to find/replace all values <code>&amp;amp;</code> with <code>&amp;</code> before importing into bitwarden.
There are known bugs (for years now) with the LastPass exporter regarding special characters such as the ampersand (<code>&amp;</code>), the greater than sign (<code>&gt;</code>), and the less than sign (<code>&lt;</code>). The LastPass exporter may change (HTML encode) these and possibly other special characters in your passwords to their respective HTML encoded values (ex. <code>&amp;amp;</code>, <code>&amp;gt;</code>, and <code>&amp;lt;</code>). If this LastPass bug affects your exported data you should use a text editor (such as Notepad) to find and replace all these values before importing into bitwarden. For example, you may want to do a find and replace for <code>&amp;amp;</code> &rarr; <code>&amp;</code> and <code>&amp;lt;</code> &rarr; <code>&lt;</code>).
