yes! go read LastPass's privacy policy. They spy on everything you do and share it with anyone and everyone.
This is outright false, no basis in fact whatsoever.

That's pretty much everything given they put an extension in your browser and can collect all of that info for every page you visit

People on HN complain about Google collecting and yet we seem to have LastPass with access to all webpages you visit and also able to track every service you use them with an their policy basically says they collect and share your data (something even Google doesn't do. AFAIK google doesn't share data)
