There are different levels of understanding here. Computer scientists/AI researchers know everything about the low level of how it works, but are actively investigating the higher levels. It is like how a chemist can know all of the fundamental forces that can affect two molecules but still need to do experiments to see how they behave in different conditions.

Hashed passwords are only useful for verifying somebody has the password. So if you are a website, you store only a users password hash, then when they try to sign in, you hash the password they’re logging in with to verify it matches.

You can’t reverse a hash back into the original password though.

So for you to be able to retrieve your passwords from LastPass, the password must be stored, not just the hash.
