“On the heels of tech giants and identity providers unveiling their plans to enable passwordless across their operating systems, web browsers, devices and applications, LastPass is excited to be the first solution and only password manager to allow users to securely and effortlessly login manage their account credentials and get instant access to the accounts used every day – without ever having to enter a password,” said Chris Hoff, chief secure technology officer at LastPass.
In line with the release, the company is actively building FIDO2 compliant components and supporting authentication mechanisms, such as biometric face recognition and fingerprint ID.Īdditionally, the subsequent release of hardware security keys is expected to be added to the passwordless offering later this year. This will allow users to access and manage important account credentials in their LastPass vault without ever having to enter a password, in turn reducing strain on IT teams that would otherwise spend hours helping employees resetting their passwords to regain access. LastPass’s current and future passwordless login options replace the need for a master password as the primary method of authenticating a user upon logging in to a LastPass vault. In a move that follows 18 months of advocation for passwordless logins, holding a seat on Fast IDentity Online ( FIDO)’s Board of Directors, business and individual customers will now be able to access accounts solely through using the LastPass Authenticator.
