Sounds unbelievably bad.
I've never used LastPass.
Chrysalis:
I dont use password browser addons. Both browsers also have built in password databases.
sevenlayermuddle:
Personally, I do not willingly use password managers in any form.
Like all software, they will almost certainly one day be compromised, it is just a matter of time. And the consequences are such a headache that that I just would never use one.
jelv:
I have around 100 passwords stored in KeePass.
People who don't use password managers must have incredibly good memories, or use the same password for a lot of different sites (which is a worse idea than using a password manager), or have very simple lives where they don't use that many different sites on the internet.
ejs:
Or they have their own solution that works for them, which could be using their browser's built-in password storage, and/or saving the passwords to a file. Quite a lot of the passwords I wouldn't consider to be particularly important anyway.
