I think that is a broad generalization. I never had to take an ethics in research course as a PhD student.

My take is that this may be a "field"-dependent class. My PhD is in a non-experimental field (math); thus, we cannot have these sorts of issues (minus plagiarism).
AES256 is still secure, assuming the encryption key has ~256 bits of entropy (32 random bytes). Assuming your master password is reasonably complex, hopefully the encryption key derived from your password has enough entropy.
Despite this, I recommend rotating all passwords (if you don't have the time, prioritize rotating passwords on important accounts / putting MFA on them). For all we know, lastpass might have had a full compromise (i.e. access to unencrypted vaults from malicious source code commits).
