Well, considering the LastPass master password is stored as a 256bit string on the servers, your 90 character master password has 720 bits making it considerably more its that make up the hash thats stored on the servers! 1 ASCII character is 8 bits!

You don't understand encryption. The master password is not "stored as a 256bit string on the servers".

Yeah it is!!

LastPass stores our master password hashes as a SHA-256 bit key.

All I was quipping at, was the fact that the password you enter in length is a whopping 720 bits!

I find it funny that this bit length gets reduced to a hash which is only 256 bits in length.

Your password has more entropy than the hash that gets produced from it.
