Is there another wallet that supported the export of private keys from Multibit Classic or only blockchain is option?

Any wallet that can handle "WIF" (wallet import format) private keys will work. Any specific you have in mind?

I did not have anything specific in mind,just looking for some new options regarding wallet.MultiBit Classic recently give me a few surprises,like yesterday when I open wallet it start to sync from beginning,like I reset blockchain and transaction.And I have problem to not see transaction which  was confirmed on blockchain.

I see, maybe it makes sense to creep to a different wallet (e.g. MB HD if you come from classic) and use both for a while. This allows you to be indipendent of key imports. Most wallets however accept WIF imports unless they dont allow importing keys at all (like e.g. Multibit HD). Electrum (just to name a common wallet) lets you import the keys, but keeps them seperated from the addresses and keys derived from the seed. That way its obvious that the imported keys need an extra backup.

You can move the private keys from MultiBit Classic to blockchain.info relatively easily:

(Remember to export the keys unencrypted)

I have problems with Multibit and wanted to switch to Multibit HD but it simply doesn't start on my device.
Any other clients available to which I can export wallets from Multibit?
