A fake LastPass password manager was found on Apple’s App Store


The fake LastPass password manager found on Apple's App Store has now been pulled. Fraudster app mimicked LastPass's branding.

We are in direct contact with representatives from Apple, and they have confirmed receipt of our complaints, and we are working through the process to have the fraudulent app removed.” In an effort to mislead consumers, the fraudster app mimicked LastPass’s branding and user interface and was distributed under the identity of a single developer, Parvati Patel. The worst for the LastPass Company is that it was forced to alert its real users in a public forum about the fraudulent app in the store — even though it should have never been released in the first place.
