## Passwords in your LastPass Vault
Once you add passwords to your LastPass vault, you can launch your login directly from your vault or go to the website manually and let LastPass autofill your credentials for you.
There are two ways to enter your passwords into your LastPass vault. You can manually enter each of your passwords individually or you can enter many of your passwords at once by importing them.
You can import your passwords from your web browser, personal files, spreadsheets or another password manager. To import, enter your vault and click **Import many passwords at once to LastPass, **choose your source, and follow the prompts to continue importing your passwords to your LastPass vault. *This option is only available during the initial set up of your LastPass vault.*
You can enter your passwords individually from within your LastPass vault or from your web browser.
> ✅ Tip: Use **Folders** to keep your passwords and information organized. When entering your password or other data to your vault, you can add it to a new or existing folder.
