If somebody sees your password on a sticky note, they now know your password. If they get access to your computer with LastPass logged in, they can't get your master password. Small distinction, but there it is. Also, with LastPass you are just trading risks. You increase the risk of your accounts being compromised by access to your computer, but you decrease your risk of accounts being compromised because HN password database was cracked. I use LastPass because I think that trade results in less overall risk, especially because it replaced saving my passwords in Chrome's less-secure password manager.
