Of course "risk" is always relative but as it relates to using LastPass, if you're willing to use any type of password manager LastPass is virtually no-risk as a result of the way in which data is encrypted locally and *not* stored on any 3rd party server/database. Plus, as a user for more than one year, I didn't enter my password/financial info into the LastPass profiles until I had been using the service for many months and became more comfortable with it.
