Overall Satisfaction with LastPass for Business
We're currently using it across our organization to assist with secure password management. It's a great tool for sharing common passwords across the company or within a subset of users where needed (e.g. services with single user accounts/testing accounts/etc.). It also has effective monitoring to ensure everyone is using secure passwords (e.g. strength scores) and warns of cases like password re-use. With LastPass we can maintain a high level of security by requiring strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
- Provides secure password/secure note sharing.
- Auto-generation and storage of highly secure passwords.
- The browser extension can be buggy and will occasionally lock you out.
- Could be more forthcoming about their own security incidents.
- LastPass has automated security management processes saving time/money.
- LastPass has reduced security related cognitive load allowing for more focused security efforts in areas that matter most.
Prior to LastPass we relied on "in house" methods of secret management and password memorization across services. At that point, very early in the company's history we had issues with password re-use and lost passwords. Some of that was mitigated by using multi-factor authentication, but it wasn't until we moved to LastPass for Business that we truly were able to say we adhered to security best practices. We selected LastPass for Business because it was the best platform (most credible/reliable) at the time we made the decision.
