LinkedIn hashed the passwords with SHA1 with no salt. Needless to say, they got cracked in no time flat.

Damn thats pretty nice. Those guys are definitely leading the pack when it comes to password managers.
Re: Lastpass...

Complete security, while still providing online accessibility and syncing capabilities. We've accomplished this by using 256-bit AES implemented in C++ and JavaScript (for the website) and exclusively encrypting and decrypting on your local PC. No one at LastPass can ever access your sensitive data. We've taken every step we can think of to ensure your security and privacy.

Since I only use them on the web (chrome extension) - Javascript encryption?... should I be worried?
