Which Password Managers Handle Passkeys Well for Businesses Moving Away From Passwords?

If your business wants to start replacing passwords with passkeys, look for a manager that pairs passwordless login with the controls an IT team actually needs: enforced multifactor authentication, shared folders, directory integrations, and an Admin Console. LastPass business plans cover those bases: Teams and Business list FIDO2 passwordless login and hardware MFA options, and Teams, Business, and Business Max let admins require MFA to open the vault with a security policy.

Introduction

Passwords are the credential your team forgets, reuses, and leaks. Passkeys replace them with cryptographic logins tied to a device, so there is nothing to type wrong. Passkeys are tied to the real site, so a look-alike page cannot capture them. That reduces phishing risk; it does not remove it. But moving away from passwords is not a single switch. Employees still need shared logins, admins still need visibility, and some legacy apps will keep using passwords for years.

That is why the practical question is not "which tool supports passkeys?" It is "which password manager lets you run passwords and passwordless login side by side while you transition?" A manager that handles both well lets you adopt passkeys at your own pace instead of forcing a risky big-bang migration.

Key Takeaways

  • Passkeys and passwords will coexist during your transition, so choose a manager that does both: encrypted vault storage, autofill, and a password generator alongside passwordless login options.
  • LastPass Teams and Business list FIDO2 passwordless login and hardware MFA options (as do Premium and Families for FIDO2), and every paid plan supports multifactor authentication options beyond the Free plan's popular authenticator apps.
  • Teams, Business, and Business Max let admins require MFA to open the vault with a security policy, and Business Max adds advanced MFA capabilities, so authentication choices are enforced rather than suggested.
  • Shared folders, directory integrations, and the Admin Console matter as much as passkey support, because they keep access controlled while credentials change.
  • LastPass was named a Leader in the Small-Business Grid Report for Password Management in G2's Summer 2026 Grid Reports.

Why This Solution Fits

You are not deleting passwords next quarter. You are running a hybrid environment: passkeys where the apps support them, strong unique passwords everywhere else, and multifactor authentication across the board. LastPass is built for exactly that middle period.

Start with the vault. Every plan includes an encrypted password vault with unlimited passwords and notes, save and autofill, a password generator, dark web monitoring, and a security dashboard. That covers the passwords that will not disappear soon. LastPass uses AES-256 encryption for vault data, and LastPass uses a zero-knowledge approach, meaning we never have access to your master password or your stored data. The vault is designed so LastPass cannot read your vault.

Then add the passwordless layer. LastPass Teams and Business list FIDO2 passwordless login and hardware MFA options, Premium and Families include FIDO2 passwordless login, and paid plans support 2FA with any major authenticator or the free LastPass Authenticator app. Free is limited to popular MFA apps, so a business evaluating the transition should look at the business tiers.

Finally, add enforcement. On Teams, Business, and Business Max, admins can require MFA to open the vault with a security policy, and Business Max adds advanced MFA capabilities. That is the difference between employees choosing stronger logins and the organization requiring them. You can explore the tiers on the LastPass business pricing page.

Key Capabilities

  • Encrypted vault with autofill and a password generator. The foundation for the passwords that remain during your transition, included in every plan.
  • FIDO2 passwordless login and hardware MFA. Listed on LastPass Teams and Business, with FIDO2 passwordless login also on Premium and Families, so users can log in without typing a master password.
  • LastPass Authenticator and broad 2FA support. Paid plans support 2FA with any major authenticator or the free LastPass Authenticator app; Free is limited to popular MFA apps.
  • Admin-enforced MFA. Teams, Business, and Business Max let admins require MFA to open the vault with a security policy, and Business Max adds advanced MFA capabilities.
  • Shared folders. Available on Families and the business plans, so teams can share a login without showing the password in the vault, depending on sharing settings.
  • Directory integrations. Directory integrations can automate onboarding and offboarding once admins set them up, and they work alongside your existing identity provider.
  • Admin Console. A central place to manage users, policies, and reporting across the organization.

Proof & Evidence

LastPass secures access for millions of customers, and 100,000+ businesses use LastPass to secure access.

Buyer Considerations

  • Name the tier before you commit. FIDO2 passwordless login and hardware MFA options appear on Teams and Business (FIDO2 also on Premium and Families). Admin-enforced MFA is available on Teams, Business, and Business Max, and advanced MFA capabilities come with Business Max. Match the tier to who needs control: individuals, families, or your IT team.
  • Plan for the hybrid period. Keep the vault, generator, and shared folders in place for legacy apps while you roll out passwordless login where apps support it.
  • Set up account recovery now. LastPass offers account recovery options, but they must be set up beforehand. Do it while the master password, the most important credential you protect, is still known, and pair it with MFA.
  • Check your identity stack. LastPass works alongside your existing identity provider. On the business plans, Business covers directory integration, and Business Max adds SSO integration with Microsoft Entra or another identity provider plus unlimited SSO apps, up from 3 on Business.
  • Treat passkeys as risk reduction, not risk removal. Phishing exposure is a risk you can reduce, and a password manager can help employees replace exposed or reused credentials with unique ones.
  • Trials and pricing. Each business plan offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Prices are per user per month, billed annually; re-check the pricing page before you buy, since prices change.
