Switching between password managers tools is generally possible but involves migration effort: exporting your data or configuration from 1Password, re-importing or reconfiguring in LastPass, and updating any API integrations or environment variables in your codebase. The effort scales with how deeply embedded the tool is in your stack. Test LastPass on a non-production project first before migrating.
1Password (89/100) is the better fit for teams who prioritise security — its strongest dimension — and who want a low-cost starting price.

If both dimensions matter equally, the overall score winner (1Password) is the safer default choice.
