WTF is LastPasd doing, handing customer details to a market research company? Any such data should have been fully anonymized: no names, no specific addresses, etc..

For anyone looking for a recommendation: I use KeepassXC with Keepass2Android. Open source, with a local database that you can choose to sync (or not). I sync using Own cloud.

I self host everything but email and credentials. Email because I already have a full time job, and credentials because if an emergency is sufficient enough to remove me from my hardware, that’s when I’ll need my passwords the most.

To be fair, I could just sync the db somewhere safe.

Why even give them that?

I've been using pwsafe for years. Also free and open source. Local-only vault. No cloud service to depend on that's going to incompetently lose your data. You can optionally store your vault in dropbox or iCloud drive, but why would you?
passwordstore.org also a nice alternative
This is what I've been using for a long time now. It's probably too technical for most people, especially if you're talking about syncing across multiple devices, but that's not a problem for me.
