LastPass Warns on Password App Discovered in Apple App Store

LastPass is a password manager application - a tool that allows users to create multiple secure passwords and store them all in one place, behind one strong master password.
Though the fake app closely resembles the official LastPass app in terms of branding and interface, upon closer inspection, the app features warning signs, including misspellings within its descriptions.
The fraudulent app also only has one rating, and lists Parvati Patel as the developer; the legitimate LastPass app has 52,300 ratings and lists LogMeIn as the developer.
Even though it's not a perfect impersonation of the LastPass brand, its appearance in Apple's official App Store is concerning, and unwary users who don't look at the listing's details might download the app by mistake.
LastPass noted on its blog that it is working to get the fraudulent app taken down.
