Overall Satisfaction with LastPass for Business
We currently have LastPass for Business rolled out to our entire organization. LastPass for Business presents an opportunity to streamline logins, password management (no more sticky notes!), and enhance user security. One of our favorite uses is the linked accounts feature. Rather than having to
log out and in to a personal account or constantly check a personal
device, users can link their personal LastPass for Business account (or create one)
and securely access their personal vault without needing to worry about
IT or anyone gaining access to their personal passwords, notes, and
credit cards. We even have the ability to force this feature to help users keep their personal data separate from their enterprise data. Another great use is that it help users verify legitimate websites; if the URL doesn't match, then their saved password will not be shown, prompting the user to take a closer look at what website is asking them to log in. It definitely reduces some of our security stresses.

Pros
- The linked accounts feature
- Easy reporting and dashboard features built in to the admin console
- Plethora of pre-built policies that make management easy
- ADFS login makes user management a lot easier
- Occasional check-ins from our LastPass for Business CSM
Cons
- No admin policy to block certain sites from saving passwords (Useful to prevent saving AD passwords)
- A bit difficult to configure users who previously used their work email to sign up for LastPass for Business; it sometimes requires deletion of their old accounts
- There is a bit of redundancy, but not so much the fault of LastPass for Business as it is varying URLs for login/authentication pages; it would be nice to see a little more intuition behind the software on when information should not be prompted to be saved (such as MFA codes, verification codes, root of the URL matching an existing URL for a saved credential)
- More users setting secure, random passwords for different sites
- Some users require more encouragement to begin using the software, as they don't yet trust the security of LastPass for Business enough to add their linked account (a requirement by IT to use the software)
- URL matching has helped to reduce passwords being compromised by fake websites
