It’s enough data to build an extensive profile around the most private information you store.Īccording to Exodus Privacy, other password manager don’t use as many trackers. The amount of data does seem to be extensive, revealing information about the device in use, the cell phone carrier, the type of LastPass account, and the user’s Google Advertising ID (used to connect data about the user across apps).

That’s because trackers often use proprietary code that isn’t open for inspection. Kuketz says that including a tracking code of this type in a password manager (or similar security-focused app) isn’t acceptable, as the developers can’t be fully aware of what the tracking code collects. Further inspection doesn’t suggest that the trackers transferred any username or password data, but it does seem to know when the user creates a password and what type.
