> the critical password from the poor security of password managers
Just because one restaurant has a bad health inspection score and is constantly making everyone who eats there sick does not mean all restaurants are bad. People who just lump "password managers" into one group are fundamentally assuming that one bad password manager means that all password managers are automatically bad, we just somehow don't know it yet. Don't bother eating at restaurants ever again if you feel that way, I guess. I know people who have gotten sick eating at restaurants, but that doesn't stop me from finding good restaurants.
Most password managers have a very good security track record. Users creating and remembering their own passwords does not have a good security track record at all.
Better to use a completely offline password manager (which risks you losing your backups or getting into a conflicting sync state) than no password manager at all, but a password manager that actually encrypts all your data end to end (which LastPass does not) and requires a strong key to unlock (such as the 2SKD method, which again... LastPass does not) is extremely safe, even if you don't trust "the cloud", because you don't need to trust the cloud.
