Overall Satisfaction with LastPass for Business

We use LastPass to help select users manage passwords for sites collecting critical personally identifiable information on employees and students. One of the primary issues we are seeking to control is using paper and unencrypted electronic files to manage passwords for such sites. Our concern is less with the compromise of our systems but rather protecting the personally identifiable information of our students and employees. The typical user might have 15 to 20 such critical passwords, and most are reporting using the product to handle routine password management for up to 100 other sites.
  • Protecting passwords and thereby protecting data.
  • Speeding up the login process at various sites for users.
  • Reducing password reuse.
  • Increasing likelihood of password changes on a routine schedule.
  • Some of the integration of the product is less than fully successful - less an issue with the software and more an operating system issue.
  • LastPass does not always play nicely with some programs/sites - this could be addressed in a more robust manner.
  • Remembering one central password is easier than a plethora of passwords, but we still need to remember one. Facial recognition could assist, especially for those whose computers do not have fingerprint scanners.
  • ROI on LastPass is difficult to measure because the product itself does not generate revenue, but it does an excellent job of mitigating risk.
  • Employee productivity gains are beneficial as site access is much more speedy.
LastPass for Business allows us to provide secure and reliable password protection for key sites where we share critical and personally-identifying information with vendors and reporting agencies. The liability risk associated with browser password storage and with simple written notes is significant. Mitigating that risk is part and parcel of compliance with federal mandates.

LastPass for Business is well suited for helping users manage passwords for the reporting sites they interact with on a regular basis. We maintain robust security for data we house, and so do the vendors and reporting agencies with whom we interact, but the weak point is the paper trail of passwords to access those sites. Such paper lists are insecure by nature, and they expose the institution to liability. LastPass for Business provides a simple, secure, and very viable alternative that addresses directly this security weak point.
