The headline is fearmongery: While the security holes are real, they concern not the security of persistent site-specific passwords but of a) bookmarklets, used by less than 1% of their user base, and b) of one-time passwords (OTPs).
I've been using LastPass for over a year on multiple platforms and many, many sites and didn't even know those features existed....
As written, the headline makes it seem that perhaps, just perhaps, persistent password storage is at risk. Now THAT would freak me out.
But the current news is, for me and many users, nothing to see here, please move along.
Responsible disclosure yes, excellence in headline writing not so much.
