Do you ever store your LastPass in your clipboard? Malicious apps on some platforms can access your clipboard without your knowledge. Do you use a clipboard manager? Is it trustworthy? Does it store data safely on disk?

Good questions to ask yourself

Good questions for sure!

In my case, the LastPass master password hadn't been used since 2017. It was stored (safely, I presume or at least hope!) in a local encrypted KeePass password manager file.

I definitely could have malware on my computer that sniffed/read the KeePass file while it's temporarily unencrypted (when I open it to get a password).
