Why does the LastPass app need special permissions to run on my phone?

When you install the LastPass App on your mobile phone or tablet you are asked to allow this permission:

 READ_PHONE_STATE permission (Phone calls: read phone state and identity).

We use this permission to retrieve your device's unique ID. This is often referred to as an IMEI, MEID, or ESN. If you have setup a list of restricted mobile devices that should have access to your LastPass account, we use this unique ID to match against the list.  This enables us to provide you with more security by restricting what mobile devices can login to your LP account.
