I run lastpass, I only use a unique password for that application. I also rotate that password every few months.

I also have it set to 2FA with google authenticate, so I need to have my phone everytime I log in. It takes longer to login but its worth it

So even if my password were compromised by a keylogger / brute force, you would still need to have access to my phone.

I don't use lastpass on my phone so that's not a nonissue for me. I don't link my phone to my computer at all (airdroid, teamviewer, etc). You would need to have

- My master lastpass password

- My unique phone password and my phone

Both events are kind of unlikely to happen. I worry more about lastpass leaking passwords than me being hacked at any point, since this is the major disadvantage of using lastpass over keepass.

lastpass is nice since I can just make autogenerated throwaway passwords and have a way to take notes on passwords I change over time
