Connecting The Dots Seeing things past it's face value

Last Pass Enterprise

For thoes who followed my post back in March of last year. I switched my personal preference in Password management systems. Just to refresh, every website now pretty much requires a user-name and password to access your subscriptions and such. I used to use RoboForm, but switched to LastPass.com. Reasons are:

• First and most important it imports from Roboform
• Free! or 12 Bucks a year for premium version
• I can access my stuff anywhere! (not just with a usb key can can be lost)
• Password sharing (pretty cool when you run an IT Consulting firm and want control over passwords)
• Reporting (so you can see history of use)
• Many more features (mostly the same as RoboForm)

LastPass announces an Enterprise version coming soon!
The enterprise version can replace a SSO or work in tandem. With application auto filling of user-names and passwords. Power users at most remember and use about 100 user-names and passwords, Imagine now deploying this to your customer base and allowing for centralized password management (with all the same features as above!)

More details can be read here:

Looks like the fee is about 1200 bucks a year for a 100 user network (as depicted from the ROI)

Overall I have dreamed of a solution like this I could manage for my customers, again I always look for ways to improve and lower my help-desk call center overhead.

The end-user would see something like this to train the application:
I opened Quickbooks told LastPass to train:

Then Give the application a name (Quickbooks, it defaults to the EXE name qb32.exe)
Assign it to a group (groups are used to help organize your passcodes, IE: Bills, Apps, Travel, Vendors)
Optionally tell LastPass to auto fill in the app, and for extra security check the box to ask for your passphrase.
(Prompting for the Pass Phrase is the passcode to release your saved passwords, you always need to log in with the 1 passphrase prior for use)

Now you can launch Quickbooks from the Tray Icon of Lastpass

Hope this info is helpful, stay tuned as they are still in beta with this app, the central management console is due out in beta in the beginning of March.
