Your master password shouldn't really be something that's going to be in either a dictionary, or brute forcible. Nobody is going to "get" it unless you make it insecure. If you're using their sync services, however (especially LastPass), you're more vulnerable to phishing attacks, and the vault can potentially be stolen and crack attempts run offline. However, both services use a heavy level of encryption that requires the passphrase to unlock, so as long as that's not dictionary based or brute forcible, you're totally fine.
