And it’s because this app has just announced the launch of a new option that we can with access to our manager via login without password. As Chris Hoff, director of secure technology at LastPass, said,We are glad we are the first solution and a single password manager which allows users to log in, manage account credentials and gain instant access to the accounts they use every day without having to enter a password«. In fact, the company says it has spent more than 18 months looking for the best way to ensure customers have a smooth and secure password-free use.

In fact, the company is already ensuring that it meets its goal «future without passwords«because they believe that weak or reused passwords create greater security risks for users.

Although this does not mean that our passwords are not protected, as this feature will require using the LastPass Authenticator application. The goal is to give people and businesses instant access to the applications and credentials they need in a transparent, simple, and secure way.

The company is also actively developing FIDO2-compliant components and supports authentication mechanisms such as biometric face and fingerprint identification and the addition of hardware security keys, which are expected to be added to the menu without passwords. later this year.
