And this is why you don't want cloud based password storage systems. If you want to use a password manager, use something entirely local like KeePassXC. The database it creates is so small you could fit it on a floppy so it's immensely portable.
The problem is more that LastPass' system is bad. 1password (and probably others) mitigate a possible hack by having the keyring encrypted by something in addition to the password.
