They can pry my offline key file from my cold dead hard drive. Some things shouldn't be on the internet.
I have used Keepass since before lastpass existed and sync with multiple machines/locations via syncthing (originally synced with rsync)
That being said, not an approach useful for all and a good mental model and sharing system with redundant copies on flash media / live systems/ mobile devices can be an effective strategy.
Use case: 10+ year keepass user, never lost a credential or had one compromised that affected more than one account due to breach. Thank you Keepass devs!
Well, worst case is your account with Google, which you can kiss goodbye.
But as we all know, that’s security. If the account recovery is the weakest link, it gets attacked.
In the real world, there's always a recovery procedure. It might involve visiting a court or some local administrative offices, but you can always recover access to anything that's important.
Not so with Google, or other on-line services that came from the tech industry side. Cybersecurity "best practices" is basically giving you a razor blade, and kicking you out if you hurt yourself with it.
