One Place for All Your Passwords and Cloud Apps

To simplify employee access to key applications, LastPass now offers the ability for end-users to access their cloud apps in both the LastPass password vault and browser extension. With this enhancement, users will be able to launch their single sign-on applications using the same vault and extension that they rely on to access their passwords.  With single sign-on, your business can facilitate secure access, without employees even knowing it’s there. Single sign-on (SSO) securely authenticates employees into their assigned applications using a protocol, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), which builds a secure connection between an identity provider (like LastPass) and a service provider (like an app you use at work.) The secure connection created by single sign-on enables employees to access all their assigned apps after authenticating just once into their identity provider. For businesses with single sign-on applications deployed through LastPass, users will be able to view their assigned single sign-on (SSO) applications under the ‘Apps assigned to me’ folder in the LastPass vault. These apps will also be accessible by searching via the browser extension. 

 

In addition to improving the user access experience, LastPass has also streamlined the process of adding cloud apps for Admins. Admins can now add a SSO app in two simple steps to quickly deploy cloud applications to employees. With this improvement, Admins can spend less time setting up SSO applications and more time on higher value tasks.  To learn more about the cloud apps LastPass integrates with, please visit: https://www.lastpass.com/app-catalog
