I pay close attention to the UX and UI of the tools that I use that are security critical.

I switched off of LastPass 2 years ago and convinced my brother to do the same because some things in LastPass apps started to feel very old, especially their 2FA implementation, which signals to me that either their stack is inflexible or there's a lot of churn in their dev teams. When those things are true, that means they're probably just maintaining old code instead of evolving it. Or even more terrifying: they don't know what needs to evolve.

Not regretting it so far.

Their interface has always felt clunky and outdated. I used to use them many years ago but ended up switching to Bitwarden and then to 1Password. I checked Lastpass out again a year or two ago, when evaluating if I wanted to stick with 1Password, and I was shocked to see that absolutely nothing had changed about their interface. Their password import-export mechanism was still a mess too. I had to manually fix-up many entries in the output CSV.
