Anyone else have experience going with the Passwordstate option? If no,
what do you use that is secure and suitable to your IT team(s)?

I am currently balancing the pros and cons of all the "best" PAM
choices. I also realize LastPass is the only solution mentioned within
Internet
( https://www.internet2.edu/cloud-services/) 2.

I think having so much centralized access in one spot not only demands
but certainly requires 2FA/MFA of some type. Whether that is DUO, Google
Authenticator, or Yubikeys (with LastPass)
( https://www.lastpass.com/yubico) .. all that matters is you are doing
more than username and password to protect your business accounts.
Imagine a business without (or totally broken) business accounts? EEK!

Best of wishes to all on this Monday morning.

Looks like this topic hasn’t been discussed in a while (~2 years).  We
*have* had around 100 users in LastPass Enterprise for our IT department
for the past 4 years.  This is the 4th year in a row that the price has
increased 100% year over year.  It was $8/year/user 4 years ago.  So
over 4 years $8*2*2*2 = ~62/year/user today.  What is everyone else
using these days?  Are you using DUO with it as well?  Thanks!
