How do I manage the dark web monitoring policy for LastPass Business users?

    LastPass admins of LastPass Business accounts can manage the "Control dark web monitoring" policy and its settings.

    About this policy

    Control dark web monitoring policy
    Control how your organization uses LastPass dark web monitoring. If enabled, LastPass performs a background security scan against a database of known third-party security breaches for each monitored username.
    If the username associated with a login is potentially at risk, an email is sent to the user identifying the compromised website and recommending preventative measures.
