Definitely a "Not necessarily." If the passwords were stored on the service's servers in an un-encrypted manner, yeah.

But in the case of LastPass, everything's encrypted -- Even moreso if you use one of their methods of two-factor identification. Even if they got your master password, they'd also need the second factor for that to even be useful!

Exactly, ergo they are just erring on the side of caution.
