[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] 1Password has none, KeePass has none... So why are there seven embedded trackers in the LastPass Android app?

[Harry Forsdick]

I agree about the utility of password keepers and with iPhone face
recognition. But for a company involved in security to imbed tracking
software in their app is curious to suspicious.

Why do they need tracking information?
Are they selling this information to anybody?

Regards,

— Harry
