First question right off the bat for anyone concerned: Lastpass claims that master passwords and encrypted user data was never compromised. See: https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/08/notice-of-recent-security-incident/

The same (and much worse) could happen to Bitwarden, at the end password manager services have highly valuable assets and malicious actors will try to attack them. When using a local password manager like KeePassXC, there's not a single server storing thousands of passwords databases, just one stored locally and off-line in your computer, significantly reducing the risk.
