> They’re stored in the cloud. Last pass does not have access to the passwords as your master password encrypts them. I make backup copies of the full list to an encrypted drive from time to time.

My only concern is about the loss of control should the master password be hacked on LastPass’s site, and then the list is downloaded and the master PW is changed.

How do you begin to recover from this?

Sorry if I sound like a last pass sales guy, but I love the software. It simply works:

C'mon, that won't happen ... just ask millions of Equifax customers.
