Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for LastPass yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated LastPass across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“A popular choice that's cost-effective and familiar to many users.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Password managers · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“LastPass Business Max for SaaS discovery and application controls” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Password managers · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Recommendation: If you already use LastPass for business, migrate immediately. If you're evaluating options, this is the clear "avoid."” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Password managers · negative prompt · hard negative
“LastPass is widely advised against for business deployment due to a history of severe security incidents and structural architecture flaws” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Password managers · negative prompt · hard negative
“Major red flag: Multiple significant security breaches (2022-2023) where vault data and customer information were stolen” Kimi K2 · Secrets · negative prompt · hard negative
“Vendors with a major breach history and weak response transparency deserve extra scrutiny; LastPass is the clearest example” Perplexity Sonar · Password managers · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named LastPass. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 78 of the 99 answers that named LastPass and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when LastPass's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as LastPass, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at lastpass.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
