Autofill Blog #2: Password Security
The last blog post on Autofill in Microsoft Edge received several comments and inquiries from readers on Password Storage and Security. We understand this is a subject of great interest and concern t...
We use LastPass Enterprise for password management for our employees. Is there anything in the pipeline that could replace this paid service? Sales, Admin, and Accounting departments have a shared group of passwords that I can assign them so they never see the actual password.

CLE_Robbie Our current Enterprise offerings include a centrally administered ability to Enable/Disable Autofill for each of the three data types - passwords, payments (cards) and personal info. Besides this, there's another set of policies that allow an organisation to classify website URLs as 'important' and prevent re-use of passwords used on those websites elsewhere.
It would be great to know more about what features (besides centralized password sharing and control) would be helpful to your organisation. Feel free to reply on the same thread, so others may also benefit from our discussion 🙂I'm pretty sure that I'm rather small in size compaired to others as I only have between 10-15 employees at any given time. About 10 of them are main positions with little to no turn over. However, it's those extra 5 that are always changing and that is why I would benefit from having one central location to house and maintain login credentials as I mentioned. When onboarding a new employee I would LOVE a platform that would enable me to create one login for them in one place. Then once I assign them to a department they would have everything they need to function throughout their day.
At the moment with LastPass, I have to monitor them in two places, not to mention pay per user.

Thank you, CLE_Robbie for sharing more context.
And size of organization is hardly an important criteria here. The central account management requirement that you describe has become essential for most Enterprises. I have noted your feedback and it will be taken into consideration and discussed by the relevant teams, internally. Thanks, again.

CLE_Robbie Sharing the links to the above described sets of policies.
1. Basic Autofill enable/ disableEnable/Disable Password autofill
Enable/Disable Payment autofill
Enable/Disable Address autofill
2. Password Protection policies - Link
CLE_Robbie it would be pretty fantastic to have an enterprise ready tool that does password handouts resets much like the tools out on the market now. It would integrate well with 365 as a service both as a consumer and as an enterprise.
