LastPass Password Manager Security & Privacy Scorecard
Android
Usage patterns and in-app behavior are tracked by Segment Analytics and Pendo, and shared with multiple third parties. Crash data flows to Firebase Crashlytics. Users have limited control over what is collected or how it is used.

1 issue identified across security and privacy analysis.
Top security issues
- Session identifier stored in plaintext SharedPreferences before encryption migration completes, granting full vault API access if extracted from a rooted device
- Security reprompt PIN conditionally stored in plaintext, allowing bypass of secondary vault authentication layer on rooted devices
- WebView migration subsystem exposes vault credential form-fill data via JavaScript interface, accessible to attacker-controlled JS on modified devices
Top privacy issues
- Segment collects a non-resettable hardware-derived device identifier (Widevine DRM SHA-256) attached to every analytics event — survives factory resets and cannot be opted out
- Raw LastPass user account identifiers and enterprise metadata (CompanyID, MFA provider) transmitted to third-party analytics platforms (Pendo, Segment) on every login
- No consent gate before Firebase, Pendo, and Segment SDK initialization — analytics collection begins from first app launch in GDPR/CCPA jurisdictions

What Data is Collected
LastPass collects behavioral and usage data through Segment Analytics and Pendo, including how users navigate the app and which features are accessed. Firebase services collect crash reports, performance metrics, and session data linked to the device. Remote configuration and A/B testing services may adjust the app experience without notification.
Third-Party Data Sharing
User data is shared with multiple third-party services:
- Segment Analytics - usage behavior and event tracking
- Pendo - in-app engagement and behavioral analytics
- Firebase Crashlytics - crash and error reporting
- Firebase Messaging - push notification delivery
- Firebase Remote Config, A/B Testing - feature configuration and experimentation
- Firebase Performance, Sessions, Dynamic Links - performance monitoring and linking services
- Google Play Billing - in-app purchase processing

Positive Security Features
- Strong network communication practices, reflected in a high Network Security score.
- Sound overall code construction, with no high-severity code safety issues identified.
Areas for Improvement
- Behavioral data is collected and shared across multiple analytics platforms, with limited transparency about the full scope of that sharing.
- The app provides minimal in-app controls over what personal data is gathered, leaving most decisions outside the user's hands.
- Data sharing extends to behavioral profiling purposes beyond what most users would expect from a password management tool.
