The idea is fine. Still trusting lastpass was the bad idea. Others have much better implementations to protector your vault and don’t drop the ball on security time after time.

They might have better implementation, but that only means it will take longer time before a data breach happens, it doesn't stop them.

A data breach isn't an issue by itself. It's only an issue if it's possible to decrypt your passwords.
