Key benefits

Unpredictable passwords: Password managers generate complex, random passwords that meet security requirements, making them hard to guess. 

IT Management

IT policy control: IT admins can enforce password policies, including complexity, length, special characters, and multi-factor authentication.

Activity tracking: Monitor shared accounts, duplicate passwords, and overall password complexity. 

Secure offboarding: Protect accounts after employees leave the company. 

Ease of Use

Cross-device functionality: Password managers auto-fill passwords across devices, including desktops, tablets, phones, and some smart devices. 

Easy updates: Quickly update and save new passwords when required by sites or apps. 

Centralized Storage

Selective sharing: Share vital accounts/passwords to either a department or multiple departments.

Sort and organize passwords: Easily organize accounts and passwords into folders for effortless browsing. 

Cloud safety: Keep important accounts, passwords, etc. safe in the cloud; if and when disaster strikes, they'll still be accessible!
