LastPass Admin Toolkit: LastPass Passwordless Authentication & Workstation Login
Passwordless authentication is an adaptive authentication feature of the LastPass Authenticator for LastPass Business users that supports using biometrics (face or fingerprint recognition and PIN Code) instead of a password for authentication. Users of passwordless authentication can use the LastPass Authenticator to verify their login for their LastPass Vault, workstations, and/or, websites that they sign in to and use daily.
Passwordless Authentication
Passwordless authentication is a feature that allows users to utilize stored biometrics (i.e., facial recognition or fingerprint identification, with PIN Code as a backup) on their mobile device (via the LastPass Authenticator) instead of entering a password to authenticate. Passwordless authentication can be leveraged in LastPass when logging in to your password management Vault, SSO apps & websites, and workstations.
