>By far the biggest problem with LastPass is that it sometimes just doesn't apply (or misapplies) the password or username to the appropriate form entries, and I have to go find it and copy it. Occasionally it also misses the saving of a new password (that it generated) and I have to put it in the vault by hand. I suspect this is a really hard problem given the massive variety of forms out there, but would be curious to hear if other password managers never have these issues.

Agreed, ambiguously named form input fields cause all kinds of havok, I helped our UX team track down one in our application because it was breaking my lastpass =)

For the second issue, I've just adjusted my workflow to accommodate LastPass's peculiarities. I just click "Generate Secure Password", copy it to the clipboard and fill the form myself. Then I have a copy of the password on the clipboard should LP miss adding the site properly.

While it's a slight pain to work around that particular issue, it's far better than what I used to do with regards to password reuse.

LastPass recently made a change to how they save generated passwords, it'll prompt you right after filling it instead of waiting for the login to succeed.

I was very happy when I started seeing that, that's been a huge improvement.

If you're within the same session, the Generate Password popup likely has a down-arrow next to it that will show you a list of recently generated passwords. This has been useful occasionally.

I'm not that familiar with mobile dev, but could a rogue app just sit in the background, making a copy of whatever's in the clipboard?

If you have such an application installed... the system has already been compromised.

Yes, Keepass for example avoids this by pasting some of the characters with the clipboard and some of the characters by simulating keypresses. See: https://keepass.info/%0D/help/v2/autotype_obfuscation.html

Lastpass mitigates the issue somewhat by clearing the clipboard after a certain amount of time.
