LastPass Authenticator Refreshed to Support Passwordless

LastPass currently supports two authentication applications: LastPass Authenticator and LastPass MFA. In order to provide customers with one comprehensive application to meet their authentication needs, LastPass is consolidating the LastPass MFA mobile app into the enhanced Authenticator app. 

LastPass Authenticator

LastPass Authenticator is a comprehensive multi-factor authentication solution to solve business’ security needs. Many LastPass customers utilize the LastPass Authenticator mobile app as an extra layer of security when logging into their LastPass vault. Currently, LastPass Authenticator provides businesses with important security features, such as: 

• Biometric-protected push notifications for both the password manager and single sign-on applications connected through LastPass. 
• Third-party one-time passcodes to access sites that require secondary authentication  
• Account back-up and recovery for third-party passcodes to streamline Authenticator set-up on a new device or restore if data is lost. 

Going Passwordless with Multi-Factor Authentication 

Passwordless authentication enables employees to securely authenticate into their work without typing a password. For business customers who utilize LastPass MFA to add an extra layer of security to their VPN, workstations, or cloud applications, LastPass Authenticator will now encompass their passwordless authentication requirements. After authenticating with LastPass Authenticator, employees will be able to log into their VPN, workstations, or cloud applications without needing to put in additional credentials. 

One App for Your Business Need

With the consolidation of the LastPass MFA mobile app into the enhanced Authenticator app, LastPass is providing one comprehensive mobile application for all your authentication needs.  Regardless of if your business requires an extra layer of security for just the LastPass vault or if your business is ready to go passwordless, LastPass Authenticator is the simple and secure solution to meet your Authentication needs.
