If you are sticking with LastPass, the good news is that it's also pretty easy to disable the trackers in question.
#Save passwords in chrome or lastpass password
Moving your password vault from one app to another is generally easy enough, although getting used to a different user interface can take a bit of time. Anything that introduces a potential attack surface, which is what some security researchers are calling such third-party tracker content, in a password vault product certainly gives pause for thought. However, I'm not saying that this is absolutely enough reason for happy users to ditch LastPass, not least as research last year found vulnerabilities in multiple password manager apps last year, but that option is there if you want it. Do you need to switch to another password manager now? The critical difference here is that a password manager has to be fully trusted by the user, and anything that might erode that trust isn't a great thing. What about security The makers of popular browsers no doubt take security seriously. So even when you’re offline, you can log in and decrypt your data. Of course, as iPhone users discovered when Apple started getting more aggressive with its iOS privacy labelling, many apps come complete with such trackers. How The data you save to the app is locally cached, meaning the password manager app stores a local encrypted copy on the device. Exodus research suggests that of the big names, neither 1Password nor KeePass includes any trackers, but Bitwarden has two and Dashlane four.
It should also be noted that LastPass is far from being alone when it comes to password managers embedding such trackers. For me as a security geek, the most important thing to note here is that LastPass has also made it clear that "No sensitive personally identifiable user data or vault activity could be passed through these trackers." This means that credentials such as username and password data are not being collected or logged by these trackers.
