Full Disclosure: Work for LastPass
Also even multifactor now must be new location verified so the ability to exploit this is now extremely low. Any attempt utilize those credentials will be blocked an email will be generated just like what happened in the non-multifactor case.
Hopefully you've gained enough attention for the chrome issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=453093 to be implemented sooner rather than later, if you could do me a favor and follow it to keep the pressure on Google to help mitigate phishing risk we'd appreciate it.
We do a lot to try to protect our usage of viewports using iframes, but it's not good enough and we'll figure out a way to do better. LastPass has generally told people to use the extension directly to login as it's more secure, we'll need to go further here as well.
Sean was clever using http://chrome-extension.pw which looks close -- but LastPass also detects you enter your master password on an incorrect domain and notifies you immediately of your mistake, mitigating this a great deal. This has existed for a long time before Sean's report and we did not implement as a response to Sean's bug report -- we implemented it as a general way for people to know about password resuse and to be notified of being phished.
Making this practical is a lot tougher than email phishing -- you really need an XSS on a page that people use to login, and unlike email phishing it is immediately caught.
This is accomplished the same way LastPass shares sites.

Basically pickup someone random so you can utilize HOV.
Once a single one of those is hacked your method is exposed and it goes from improbable to practical.

If your coworkers aren't using something they're likely reusing company passwords, which is one of the key reasons to force using the extensions.
LastPass Enterprise has a policy to disable it, which is recommended there.

If you have a security issue here we'd appreciate a report at https://lastpass.com/security/ that said every report of this has always been a case of someone not reading the manual or FAQs so please checkout https://lastpass.com/support.php?cmd=showfaq&id=2775 first.
> "Sorry but I will never give trust to a password manager written in PHP"
The password manager is actually written in C++,Objective-C,Java,C# and JavaScript -- depending on platform. You seem to be focused on our website however (which only handles encrypted data with a key never get) which is written in Hack: http://hacklang.org/ actually, not PHP.
Regarding the user experience being less without extensions installed -- yes, that's true, we highly encourage installing those -- the extension-less access should really be used for emergencies only -- it's safer to login to the extensions since it's not relying on JavaScript you just downloaded, it's always preferred.
When Chrome came along they decided to go in a different direction entirely slowly making it more and more painful to accomplish what used to be easy in the name of security. The review process went from automatic if you were trusted to weeks and then months and then more than a quarter year. They started demanding source code. It became scary to release to addons.mozilla.org because you never knew how long it would be before your next release would be approved.
Mozilla needs to realize they're hastening their own demise - Chrome now offers better features than when Mozilla was the leader including releasing to a percentage of users and faster nearly invisible to the user updates. They should go back to their roots and embrace developers again.

LastPass, you know it, you love it, you want to make it better.
We're happy you found a tool that works for you -- that's what we want everyone to do -- it doesn't need to be LastPass but people need to use something -- reusing passwords constantly is just painful.
We also have an extension into Dolphin, and you can utilize Chrome utilizing our fill method -- if you don't like them there are options to disable them too reducing the perceived extra bulk.
