We downloaded and installed the fake LastPass app on Chrome on one of our test machines, and the popup notification states that the app wants to "Display Notifications". In case you're not aware, the real LastPass app is being offered by "" on the Chrome Web Store. Secondly, the supposed named developer, AdGetBlock, seem to be the wrong brand to offer such a product.
Firstly, this LastPass app seem to rate poorly even if it's one of the most sought after and popular password vaults on the Web. Those with trained eyes can tell that something is already off upon looking at this page. Recently, we spotted one such app claiming to be LastPass on the Chrome Web Store: This post is to remind our readers to keep a sharp eye on apps that claim to be the real thing but are actually rogue versions of those they're imitating. As such, extra care is needed more than ever in weeding out the real ones from the knock-offs. But even legitimate sites can harbour fake apps, and we've seen this happen time and time again. We also advise our readers to download directly from the official websites of these password managers or from highly trusted third-party app markets, such as Google Play, the App Store, and the Chrome Web Store. When it comes to passwords, one piece of advice we give our readers is to use password managers / vaults to help them maintain, keep track of, and store away account logins that are impossible to recall by memory on a daily basis - for example, Dashline, Keychain, 1Password, and LastPass.
