#Lastpass status upgrade
XyTech is trying to crowdfund a new mainboard for the 2008 T60/T61 so fans can upgrade the much-loved noughties laptop. The range of Thinkpads you can modernise is getting wider. We are continuously reviewing our existing processes and working to make them better to comply, and exceed, the requirements of current applicable data protection standards." ® "All LastPass users, regardless of browser or device, are given the option to opt-out of these analytics in their LastPass Privacy Settings, located in their account here: Account Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy.
These trackers collect limited aggregated statistical data about how you use LastPass which is used to help us improve and optimize the product.
Earlier this month the company (which is owned by LogMeIn) crippled its free offering to support only a single device type, and many users have said they would switch as a result – like user Mattias Ahnberg, who wrote on Twitter: "This means I will finally migrate away to 1Password instead of being blocked by such a limitation that you're adding." Losing free users may even have been the intention, but the tracking issues affect paid users as well, which would be more of a concern.Ī LastPass spokesperson told us: "No sensitive personally identifiable user data or vault activity could be passed through these trackers. The discussion about trackers in LastPass comes at a bad time.

Kuketz recommended changing to a different password manager, such as the open-source KeePass. In his view, the presence of the trackers demonstrates a suboptimal attitude to security. Kuketz did not suggest that actual passwords or usernames are transmitted, but did note the absence of any opt-out dialogs, or information for the user about the data being sent to third parties. During use, the data also shows when new passwords are created and what type they are. He found that this included details about the device being used, the mobile operator, the type of LastPass account, the Google Advertising ID (which can connect data about the user across different apps). Kuketz also investigated what data is transmitted by inspecting the network traffic. These things do not belong in password managers, which are security-critical, he said.

Even the app developers do not know what data is collected and transmitted to the third-party providers, said Kuketz, and the integration of proprietary code could introduce security risks and unexpected behaviour, as well as being a privacy risk.
