Security is not a binary thing. It's a spectrum and for most normal end-users having _any_ password manager is better than trying to keep all your passwords in your brain, which leads to password re-use and easy-to-guess passwords, etc. It's only after multiple episodes of what amounts to malicious incompetence that the cure becomes worse than the disease. I think we're collectively agreeing we've reached that point with LastPass.

Writing down passwords on a pad of paper next to your computer is a valid practice for most people if we're being realistic, particularly for personal computer use. Even leaving passwords in an unencrypted text file on your desktop is not nearly as bad today as it used to be 20 years ago. Pretty much anything is better than using the same 8 letter password on every single website. That's the status quo which needs to be toppled.
