No sensitive personally identifiable user data could be passed through these trackers. "The privacy and security of our users is always a top priority at LastPass, which is why LastPass was designed with a patented zero-knowledge security model to protect sensitive customer data.

Tom's Guide has reached out to LastPass as well, and we will update this story when we receive a reply.

We're going to disagree with him and keep it as our top recommendation for the best password managers, though this does open our eyes a bit. Kuketz says that based on his findings, LastPass users should switch to other password managers.

When disabled, History and Recent Sites will be empty on the vault and extension, respectively," and "Anonymous data is aggregated but not shared with third parties." When clicked on, the information bubbles next to each line say, "Maintain a history of your website logins and form fills. In the LastPass web-browser interface, that takes you to two lines that are checked on by default: "Keep track of login and form fill history" and "Send anonymous error reporting data to help improve LastPass." "All LastPass users, regardless of browser or device, are given the option to opt-out of these analytics in their LastPass Privacy Settings, located in their account here: Account Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy." However, the LastPass spokesperson told The Register that there is a way. Kuketz says there's no way to opt out of this data collection within the app, and we couldn't find one either. Bitwarden's two trackers seem harmless, and as earlier mentioned, 1Password has no trackers at all. But Dashlane does use two others that seem to track user behavior (opens in new tab), and Keeper uses one of those (opens in new tab). It's worth noting that none of the four other password managers mentioned above seem to use AppsFlyer, MixPanel or Segment, according to Exodus. Und auch wenn die Tracker keine Inhaltsdaten erhalten, so verfolgen sie den Nutzer auf Schritt und Tritt bei der Nutzung von LastPass.")

"Extremely sensitive information such as access data, notes, bank accounts, etc. The trackers can't actually view the password or bank-account number you're entering, but it's still creepy to learn they're aware of the fields into which you're entering data. In other words, Kuketz argues, the trackers on the LastPass app can see where you are, which language you use, what kind of LastPass account you're using and what you're doing with the app, such as adding a new password or bank-account number.

Kuketz said he created a new account using the LastPass Android app, and the Segment tracker trasmitted a message ID, the time zone, the country of location, the device IP address, and what the LastPass app was doing - in this case, "onboarding password."

Some of that sounds OK, but it's been well established by other researchers that Android ad IDs can be used to physically track individuals geographically.

He fired up the LastPass app and watched what the trackers transmitted back to home base.Īccording to him, the MixPanel tracker sent out the device maker, Android version, model number, device ID, LastPass account type and whether the LastPass app had biometric login and autofill enabled.ĪppsFlyer, Kuketz said, sent out most of that plus the name of the cellular network operator, the Android ad ID and a mysterious user ID. Kuketz thinks the LastPass trackers, which even LastPass arguably may not know much about, sent out too much information regardless.

Now, as The Register pointed out, LastPass has a lot of free users - though it's set to lose many of them next month due to policy changes - so you might think it's entitled to make at least a little money on them.
