Importing LastPass to Safari KeyChain

I note LastPass fee has just increased. I can't see the sense in continuing to pay for a service Safari Keychain now provides. How do I transfer my passwords?

I have done a few trawls and it seems it is not easy. The last time i saw this question asked and answered the solution didn't work. It seems Safari will not import a .CSV file created by LastPass. Is this true? Is there an easy way around this for someone with zilch computing skills?

Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

LastPass has one advantage over Keychain: it works on non-Apple devices.

This article might give you some direction:

Yes I can see the value of LastPass and have used it now for 5 or 6 years and recommended it to others. However I now work in an entirely Apple environment and the increase LastPass fee just is not worth it when Safari Keychain now works fairly well. I'll read that article - thanks - Hope it is accessible to computer luddites!

Umm read the article which I had seen on earlier searches - I am reluctant to follow these instructions as it involves downloading add ons and I suspect then using those to make a .CSV file conversion - Very unwise when dealing with passwords! Sooo come on Apple there must be other safe solutions - I am only guessing but suspect they'll be quite a few LastPAss apple users wanting to transfer. I might simply opt for clicking on each password in my Safari LastPass extension and ensuring it is saved. What a hassle!

Apple isn't reading here. You can use the feedback page to let them know your thoughts.

For what it's worth, I don't see Apple spending time creating a way to import LastPass files.
