{% warning %}
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.
{% endwarning %}
