I signed up for LastPass a couple of weeks ago, and they started sending me spammy emails every single day. I went into account settings and disabled the emails, and they kept coming. I opened a support thread on their forum, linking many other similar threads going back several years, and saying that they have to fix this under GDPR... Silence.

I deleted my account and switched to BitDefender. Still getting the LastPass emails though, whenever I check my spam folder.

Also, LastPass slowed my Android phone a lot. BitDefender doesn't seem to do that.

In short, my recommendation is: stay the hell away from LastPass. They can't even handle an email system, I don't trust them at all to handle my passwords.

Their Windows application was also painfully slow.

I paid them for years but I no longer trust them, it seems to me they are incompetent as an organization even if the people who work there might or might not be smart.
