Azokle Auth vs LastPass Authenticator
LastPass suffered a catastrophic 2022 breach that exposed encrypted customer vaults. LastPass Authenticator syncs to the same cloud infrastructure. Azokle Auth stores nothing in the cloud — a breach of our servers (which don't exist) is impossible.

The Empirical Privacy Proof
Verified evidence derived from RFC standards, source audits, and official privacy policies.
The 2022 LastPass Breach — A Cautionary Tale
In August 2022, LastPass suffered a breach where attackers exfiltrated encrypted customer vaults. In December 2022, they confirmed source code, credentials, and customer vault data was stolen. Users with weak master passwords had their vaults cracked.
Azokle Auth has no server infrastructure to breach. Seeds live in Android Keystore / iOS Secure Enclave on your device. There is no Azokle server that holds your data — because we never receive it.
Cloud Backup = Third-Party Custody of Your 2FA Seeds
LastPass Authenticator's backup feature stores your TOTP seeds in LastPass's cloud — the same infrastructure that was breached in 2022. Your second factor is as secure as LastPass's servers.
Azokle Auth's architecture has no concept of a backup server. Export is done locally via encrypted QR codes you control. Your seeds are never in someone else's custody.
Closed Source After a Breach Is Inexcusable
Following a major security breach, LastPass Authenticator remains closed source. Users cannot verify whether security improvements have been made or whether vulnerabilities persist.
Azokle Auth is fully open source. Every change to the cryptographic implementation is publicly visible and independently verifiable. Security through transparency, not through obscurity.
Account Dependency Adds a Recovery Attack Surface
LastPass account recovery flows (email reset, SMS backup) create additional attack surfaces. A compromised recovery email or phone number can unlock your 2FA seed vault.
Azokle Auth has no account, no recovery email, no SMS fallback. The only way to access your seeds is physical access to your device with your biometric or PIN.
LastPass Authenticator is difficult to recommend after the 2022 breach. Storing 2FA seeds in the same cloud that was compromised defeats the purpose of a second factor. Azokle Auth's offline-first, no-cloud, no-account architecture makes a breach of your 2FA seeds architecturally impossible.
“The only safe cloud for your 2FA seeds is no cloud at all.”
