LastPass Means Password vs. Passphrase is Irrelevent?

If I understand correctly, a key advantage of preferring long passphrases to passwords is that passphrases are easier for users to remember.

But with LastPass (and other password managers) automatically generating and entering complex, high entropy passwords, it seems that the password vs. passphrase argument is moot. Is this a correct?

It seems to me that LastPass augmented by 2FA is probably the strongest log-in protection that most people will ever need.

You still need a strong master password, and a passphrase is good for that. For all the logins that LastPass manages, you DON'T have to remember them so a 15 random character string is as secure as anything. I have over 600 passwords saved in LastPass, all different, and I don't know a one of them.

Re: LastPass Means Password vs. Passphrase is Irrelevent?

Wonder if one of 2018's most-used master passwords/passphrases will be 'LastPass USED to be great, in 2018, it sucks!'

Easy to remember - has upper & lower case letters, numbers, special characters. I think it every time I have to login because LP won't remember my email & password...
