> You seem to be more concerned about UX than security. Compromising security for better comfort is not a very good strategy.

From my practical observation: People will go to great length to avoid dealing with a crappy UX. That can include falling back to "YOLO, I'll just use the same password everywhere" if the password management process is sufficiently atrocious. So I'd say good UX is part of the security concept, bad UX will compromise it.

For me, the UX of maintaining an improved security posture is quite an important part of these products success, I get improved security and the product doesn’t make me think. The only way it could be better for me as a long term LastPass customer is if I had a good/safe tool to synchronise with the macOS keychain for improved redundancy and providing myself a future “exit strategy”, I rarely have to think about my use now that its integrated into the native iOS password prompt.
