Seconded - it's also a benefit that you have to re-authorized each
device/browser every 30 days.

That plus the LastPass plugin for everything else ($12/year) means I can
have 20-character passwords like this "AvZo$I1mjmZ#c at e6vDxw" that would
take "11.52 thousand trillion centuries" to crack.

(See https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm for the source of that time estimate.)
