This has reminded me to sign up all my emails for alerts, and makes me glad I started using Lastpass back in 2012 and almost all my logins these days are separate and very long passwords.

Which is great until your Lastpass account gets hacked.

There is no such thing as unbreakable security. You always have to compromise security for usability somewhere. I trust LastPass' procedures more than I do most websites'.

While I agree with you, Lastpass has been hacked in the past, and if you store all your passwords in one place it's really open-kimono time when there's a breach.
I've taken to doing the thing they tell you never to do: I write my passwords down on a piece of paper. Criminals can get access to my passwords, but they're going to have to travel to my house to do it.
