The red flags were fairly evident 2 years ago, even to someone like me who's not very observant; if I recall correctly, their android app was found to have tracking mechanism purely used for marketing purposes etc. Really? Trackers in a password manager, something that should be quite private. Combined with a few data breaches they had over around 2 years ago, I couldn't recommend them to anyone in good conscience.

I'd be curious to read up on this. Would you happen to have a link to some coverage of this?

Here's an article I found on it [0] and a direct link to the report [1] which shows 7 trackers. The latest report [2] shows that is down to 5.

For comparison, BitWarden's report shows 2 [3] and 1Password's shows none [4].

It's been a minute but here's the first thing that pops up, I'm pretty sure this is what I'm thinking of. https://www.pcmag.com/news/lastpass-android-app-contains-7-t... Again, imo trackers in a pw manager is unacceptable.
