LastPass Move to BitWarden & Password Question

I’ve read much a many posts and discussions herein and elsewhere about LastPass. For that reason & operational issues with LastPass, I and my spouse just switched to BitWarden.

However, I am considering keeping the free personal LastPass account and using it very sparingly, solely as password back-up vault (for Bitwarden’s info. and a few other important sites). I intend to use a very large Master Password (15-words, 121 characters, including numbers & capitalization) with hash set at 600k and 2FA access.

I wouldn’t use this account on anything but a stay-at-home device – i.e., no phones, or roving laptops and would be sure the vault was closed when I was done with it.

What if any, are the risks of using this plan? For some reason, would it be safer to use a free cloud storage service like Sync.com for this sort of backup? I also intend to commit these passwords to paper, but having them on LastPass would be more convenient and more redundant than just placing them on a file and stored on my PC in a VeraCrypt folder.

I would not store my dog’s name in LastPass given their terrible history. I can’t encourage you enough to jettison LP completely from your life.

You can use a cheap (but get a good one) USB stick and encrypt it with Veracrypt (which is free) for next to nothing. Use that (I rotate several and store them in various places in and outside of the house). Store your BW encrypted backups and recovery information on those. If you set up the encryption on the USB sticks correctly, nobody is getting to that information.

Edit: I reread your post and saw that you are considering VeraCrypt backups already.
