#2Wow, color me surprised. Software developers aren't perfect, and closed source software with less eyes on it tends to be even less perfect.
I will never trust my passwords all being in one place other than my brain.

#3I can’t figure out why LastPass is still so popular. Ease of use since it’s completely browser based? They were early to market? I don’t get it.
So many better designed, more secure options out there. KeePass, Bitwarden, or 1Password to name a few.

You can't keep varied, secure passwords in your head unless you barely use any services.

That is a whole lot of opinion, but not much substance. What makes LastPass inferior to these other options?

For me ease-of-use is a killer feature. Do any of the alternatives you suggested sync automatically between devices? Do they auto-fill?

1Password does. It's great.

I think it is mostly inertia and cross-platform support. Before they were acquired, they seemed to care a lot more about security, instead of just security theater.
They also have some nice crypto features: For instance, I forgot my master password, and they have a one time password reset protocol that lets them send you an unlock code that only works on previously logged in devices.
Also, it has rock-solid offsite backup built in.
Moving away has been on my TODO list for a long time.

1Password more secure?
Surely you're joking.
