LastPass already has controls in place to prevent these features from looking at sensitive vault data such as passwords. In browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, there is a spell check feature that shares plain text data, including passwords, with your browser.

Beyond password management, we also frequently share best practices with our community so that you’re able to keep your data safe, no matter which browser, device, or application you’re using. Our product is built with that in mind, knowing that you have entrusted us with the protection of sensitive personal and business information. At LastPass, the safety and security of your data is our top priority.
