I still use an older version of 1Pass specifically so I can run things locally. Sometimes, I wish I was ignorant to all of this stuff and could just be a plebe out in the wild using all of the convenient software out there. Just take the blue pill and put me back in the matrix. The knowing of all of this stuff just makes life so much more difficult.

Easy thing to suggest. However, in my experience, as soon as I decide to use a program after researching it, take the time to switch over to it, that company will then switch to a cloud based whatever. Here we are again at the same spot different name.
Sometimes the devil you know, you know?

I'm in the same boat. I've used lastpass for years and tried a few alternatives over the time but they fell down when it came to providing access to my "vault" on different systems or architectures. The biggest benefit is lastpass generating and storing random passwords for every site and application without me having to cut and paste a thing, and having it easily accessible.
That said, if their closed-source browser extension is leaking my master password to random websites I'll cut them out of my life tomorrow.

Funny, I was happy to pay them until they removed my ability to store it myself.
edit:
> CVEs are relatively mild compared to LastPass
LP is not the relevant comparison. The relevant comparison is an encrypted store on my laptop.
