Yes I do.
It can be simple or not simple. I've used it for 10 years...I think. I believe there are better options now, I just don't want to switch.

Yep. I know my master password and that’s it. The rest of the sites that I use are randomly generated passwords that I don’t even know.

I use it. Like with any password manager, if they hack the master password then they have everything. But it's super convenient to have a long random string automatically generated for me.

So if there is some type of system “take down” of LastPass and you are relying on those generated complex passwords made by the app, and you don’t have them in a secondary location, what will you do?

I use LastPass, but I make my own complex passwords using letters, numbers and special characters that I can recall in the event of a severe situation. That way I can still access my sites. I also make a hard copy list of my passwords and keep them in a safe.

What does it do besides save all passwords you can access with one master?

I’ve used LastPass before, and I prefer 1Password today. I’ve been using 1Password for several years now and it’s solid.

I think LP experienced a database breach in the past. 1PW hasn’t.

A password manager that saves them all under a master and generates random strings for new passwords is included in the settings of android phones and the web browsers I use. Base software. Free. What are we doing here?

Single point failure is a risky model.
