Security researcher recommends against LastPass after detailing 7 trackers - The Verge
Responding to the report, a spokesperson from LastPass says the company gathers limited data “about how LastPass is used†to help it “improve and optimize the product.†Importantly, LastPass tells The Register that “no sensitive personally identifiable user data or vault activity could be passed through these trackers,†and users can opt out of the analytics in the Privacy section of the Advanced Settings menu.LastPass’s trackers include four from Google which handle analytics and crash reporting, as well as one from a company called Segment, which reportedly gathers data for marketing teams.Kuketz analyzed the data being transmitted and found it included information about the smartphone’s make and model, as well as information about whether a user has biometric security enabled.
