Passwords are the most unfortunate part of the web. It is a bad user experience that leads to poor security. I've spent the last couple of years trying to convince friends and family to use a password manager (usually lastpass) and use a different password for every site. Many were using some variation of the first password they ever made for their dialup AOL account in the mid 90's.
I can't blame lastpass for choosing to monetize their product. Securing the web is also not the job of lastpass. Unfortunately, making users pick either a desktop or mobile device for the free tier and requiring pay to have both I think many will pick the path of least resistance and go back to their old habits, foregoing password managers and unique passwords altogether.
