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.
Of course, as iPhone users discovered when Apple started getting more aggressive with its iOS privacy labelling, many apps come complete with such trackers. 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.
