Password data is encrypted locally (256 bit AES) before it is uploaded to
the LastPass server. You're not really trusting them. The password data
can also be exported, so if the service is ever discontinued you don't lose
everything. Regarding password managers built into browsers LastPass argues
they are insecure. I don't know enough to have an opinion about it, but if
that's true your passwords are less safe on your own computer then on the
LastPass server. I used KeePass before LastPass and I think KeePass is
great. I just prefer the simplicity and convenience of having the passwords
synchronized across all my computers and browsers. Accomplishing this with
KeePass required some "sneaknet" (so to speak). In any case, you can easily
export from LastPass to KeePass so you can fall back on it if necessary.

I was under the impression you had to open keepas to select the
password, it wasn't done automatically

see on Lifehacker

Firefox: KeeFox brings tight integration between the cross-platform,
open-source password manager KeePass and Firefox, providing automatic
logins, form filling, and more.

On Tuesday Kevin sang the praises of LastPass for password management,
but a lot of readers are still in love with KeePass and aren't ready
to trust their passwords with a third-party service, no matter how
secure. Unfortunately, despite some solid plug-ins, KeePass's browser
integration isn't close to as tight as LastPass's. That's where KeeFox
comes in.
