LastPass Teams enables seamless password management for better productivity
A group of coworkers using LastPass Teams.

You may already be familiar with . It's an exemplary and comprehensive password and identity management tool, that not only offers support for individuals, but teams, as well. In fact, is designed, specifically, for business teams. From smaller business and home-office teams to remote, large-scale teams, it's an efficient way to manage and share passwords and much more.
