I wasn't trying to imply that Lastpass was somehow unreliable, I simply switched away from Lastpass since it had yearly subscriptions VS. 1Passwords 'pay-once-own-for-life' model.
But since now 1Password is changing their subscription model if I were the use Lastpass, what would happen if one day they would shutdown their services? At least with 1Password I have (or had) my local vault in Dropbox/iCloud/whatever and I could still use it.
So next step beyond that would be to roll "my own" (obviously using software written by actually smart people) password management system which used open source and self hosted parts. That way I factor in upfront the "I have to deal with this shit" part and it doesn't come as a surprise years along the line when the company I'm relying on goes belly up, or changes their business strategy or whatever. Obviously it's not perfect, but I have to consider things. It's not wise to just rush into things.
