Each year budgets get tighter and resources slimmer as responsibilities grow. With education ranked one of the top five industries to experience significant data breaches in 2020, and increasingly so in 2021 with the addition of remote environments, you need a secure solution to protect faculty, staff, and students on and off-campus.
For more than 1,200 higher education institutions including 50+ Internet2 subscribers, LastPass solutions for higher education reduce friction for employees and staff while increasing control and visibility with a password management solution that is easy to manage and effortless to use.

Affordable and budget-friendly packages
LastPass and Internet2 have created turnkey, affordable packages designed to make it easy for you to provide secure password management to every person on campus – students, faculty, staff!
Each Internet2 NET+ LastPass package includes licenses of LastPass Business, LastPass Families as a Benefit account will be provided for faculty and staff, and LastPass Premium as a Perk for students, providing you a holistic approach to secure access. Encouraging proper password hygiene personally increases the adoption of LastPass Business.
Give students, faculty, and staff the power to secure their digital life:
- Frictionless experience: With easy-to-use web extensions and mobile applications, users of all levels know exactly where to go, and how to get access.
- Password saving and filling: LastPass reliably captures every password at login and fills them in during the next visit.
- Password generator: Create long, randomized passwords that protect against hacking.
- Password sharing: Conveniently and safely share passwords and notes with anyone.
- One master password: Remember the master password and forget the rest.
- Universal access to the vault: Whether on a desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet, accounts are backed up and synced.
Simplified deployment for IT admins
LastPass offers centralized administrative tools to securely manage access at the organizational level for faculty and staff. User accounts are provisioned and managed by an admin (or team of admins) through the LastPass Admin Console. Faculty and staff are invited to activate their LastPass account and create their own master password to access their business account.
By assigning admins, business accounts can be disabled or deleted using generated passwords and revoking access in real-time, ensuring that your institution’s data doesn’t depart each semester with staff or students. If faculty or staff leave or roles change or students graduate, revoking access to the business account will not impact their personal account – they can take it on their next life adventure!
Features specific to LastPass Enterprise include:
- Effortless password storage and sharing
Users can share any single item with multiple people to give everyone convenient access – perfect for collaborative teams – from IT to the marketing department, and even those external to your institution like alumni, partners, or vendors! Manage shared access to apps and web logins with shared folders and customized permissions for individuals or groups.
LastPass has enabled keyboard navigation, updated proper color contrast and readability, and has added regions and language tags to allow users to navigate with screen readers and keyboards more easily within the vault navigation across three main browsers.
The centralized admin console is IT’s command center, offering 100+ customizable security policies, detailed reporting, an action-orientated adoption dashboard, automated user management, and more.
With our clean, modern dashboard design, you can quickly see where you have pressing issues or gaps in enrollment or adoption of LastPass, and our call-to-action buttons help you take steps towards resolving them.
- SSO Catalog of 1,200+ Apps
We know – Academia is not one size fits all. With a catalog of 1,200+ pre-integrated apps, each with an easy-to-follow configuration guide, it’s simple for IT to make critical services accessible in one convenient portal, specific to your institute’s needs.
Integrate with Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, and custom APIs to automatically provision users and apply policies.
100+ flexible security policies and multifactor authentication options to meet the needs of every organization.
- LastPass for Everyone On and Off Campus
Professional and personal lives are merging at unprecedented rates, and it’s crucial that all faculty, staff, and students protect their digital life — especially when accessing your institute’s data, like email and learning apps, from personal devices on and off campus.
Reduce the cyber risk to your institute by not only securing your employees and students but their networks as well! Every individual on campus can sign up for a personal LastPass account to ensure a holistic security strategy at your higher education institute. With a secure, private vault that’s accessible from any device and browser, there’s never an excuse for poor password hygiene.
