MarkJill,Great point!
In this particular situation, the "team members" will probably not want to download a plugin, and I don't want to the the help desk for the plugin. However, I don't think that will be a problem. If they forget their password and can't get into their lastpass account, then I would tell them to make another account, and I will share the passwords with the new account. A very kludgey solution to this problem, but if it happens, they may get over their fear of downloading a plugin. On a technical scale of 1-10, where 10 = Linux Admin and 1 = still using a rotatory dial land line , the team members are 2s. ;)

I've also successfully used Lastpass with customers with
multi-platform/less-techy requirements. However there's one thing about
their service that's really important to note - they can't do password
resets for your account the way most web services can. If you forget
your login to their site and don't use their browser add-on you're SOL
(recovery works off the plugin). I completely lost a Lastpass account
this way earlier this year.

Make sure your team understands how important it is to keep track of
their Lastpass password, or walk them through how to set up the plugin.
