Step #3: Configuration & Testing

    Review the various configurations available for LastPass as the options will depend on the type of environment you have in your organization.

    Summary

    • Review the available endpoints and determine which resources you want to protect with multifactor authentication via the LastPass Authenticator app.
      Note: If you are interested in federated login using third-party Identity Providers, please see Which Identity Providers are supported for LastPass Federated Login?
    • Multifactor authentication via the LastPass Authenticator app (LastPass MFA) will serve as an additional security layer for your protected endpoint.
    • During your test group creation for initial testing, focus on creating a small testing group that includes people from multiple departments across your organization for a more accurate picture of end user experience. Additionally, create a department or group of "Super Admins" that will have permissions assigned to assist others during the full rollout (e.g., resetting master passwords for users).
