I would not use LastPass without a YubiKey for security reasons. Essentially, LastPass holds the keys to your kingdom so to me it is worth the one time cost of a YubiKey or two ($25US) and the small yearly subscription cost to LastPass for the added protection. The folks at LastPass have really designed a very secure system with exception of a single non-technical vulnerability that cannot be mitigated...

Of course, even without the YubiKey you are relatively safe so long as you use a strong password for the master key. And, LastPass makes it much easier to use really strong passwords on all the other sites you use that require authentication. The password generator is awesome!
