Description
I have over 800 credentials exported from Lastpass and pasted into Windows Notepad then saved as a csv file being careful to save using the Unicode setting.
I used the import feature within your plugin (thank you).
However, it failed without errors. It appeared to begin some processes but quickly failed without warning or feedback. I had the same problem in Firefox as in Chrome.
On a separate attempt I did everything the same but used Notepad++ instead of Notepad and the import worked perfectly.
Wanted to pass this along as it appears that it is a bug even in Unicode if the write software is not used. Strange but true.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the import feature with a LastPass CSV saved from Windows Notepad, then compare it with the working Notepad++ case in Firefox or Chrome. Done means the Notepad-generated Unicode CSV imports successfully or fails with clear feedback, with the cause and affected input format covered by a regression test.
