Not at all. This person is choosing not to accept additional risk, and is engaging in strong mitigation by using an offline password manager.

Plus there's nothing preventing you from using your favorite sync client (eg. Dropbox) to get the same "cloud" functionality.

ding ding ding.

I use a few different versions of keepass on two laptops and an android, and they all share a keyfile through dropbox. I get most of the same functionality that my wife does through LastPass. It's convenient enough that I don't see any reason to migrate to LastPass, despite their much more polished user experience.

> more polished user experience

I'm forced to use LastPass at work, and personally find KeePass to be a much better user experience.
