Password security is extremely important and with insurance agencies accessing a variety of websites, applications, and internal tools to get work done, a lot of these different online avenues require passwords. Remembering a bunch of passwords is not easy to remember which is why most of us opt for having the same password for many different websites and applications. The problem with that, however, is that it becomes easier for a data breach to occur.
Passwords cause 81% of breaches, failing to protect them could be a costly mistake.
With every password being an entry point for hackers, securing them should be a top priority. Moreover, having a password protector and manager makes it easier for your employees to access their web accounts in a much simpler way. When our clients let us know how great LastPass really was, we couldn’t resist – and the best part is that it’s so affordable!
We’ve listed down the benefits of using LastPass and why you should use it too:

Imagine going to a carrier’s website and having to remember one Master Password every single time. LastPass automatically fills out usernames and passwords. Autofill allows you to fill in form fields online automatically with your information. If you use password autofill, your username and password are automatically filled in when you visit the sites you’ve saved. This helps you to simplify login processes and eliminates the need to remember different passwords for different websites. You can just log in with a click without having to type in your information – LastPass does all that for you!

“Policy servicing” is the least glamorous phrase in the insurance business, and it eats more producer time than anything else on the calendar. It’s also the part of the business where a missed step isn’t just a workload problem: a renewal that lapses or an endorsement that never gets logged is a client exposure, and …

An agency owner researching virtual assistant insurance costs isn’t usually asking “is this a good idea.” That question got answered a while ago, probably somewhere in a backlog of unprocessed certificates. What’s left is the harder question: does the math actually work for this book of business, and how do you prove it to a …

That’s the gap an insurance virtual assistant is meant to close, and it’s why the term shows up in …

The world’s best insurance teams aren’t remote—they’re responsible. Most agencies want to scale. Few know how to do it responsibly. The truth?
