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.

Big thanks for clarifying! But it seems I'm not the main target audience because I do not want to use Lastpass for all my passwords (personal preference) and I also do not want to force coworkers to use browser plugins just for exchanging passwords once in a while.
Understood -- you may want to consider a combination open source command line version + mobile + mac apps:

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.
