Anybody who is internet savvy enough knows that "Free Credit Report" sites have a pretty negative image as misleading and spammy and even a borderline scam.<p>I was pretty shocked to see this added to their [2.0 release notes](https://lastpass.com/upgrade.php?ver=2.0.0&type=cr&upgrade=1.90.6). Just like I don't expect my bank to offer me free smileys, I don't expect my password manager to offer credit reports.<p>Does anyone else see this as an alarming development for a service that holds the key to a lot of important private information?
