Manage passwords and logins with LicenceOne

2023

johnathan_bell

This feature would allow employees to save their passwords in LicenceOne's Chrome extension; allowing them also to safely share them with other colleagues without sharing the password string.

Key questions we have if this feature interests you:

Are you already using a password manager?
If so, which one?
If so, would an integration that allowed you to add and remove password access perform the job you'd like to do?
If you're not using a password manager, why would you start using LicenceOne to manage passwords?
Do you already have a policy in place so that all employees use the same password manager?

Side note:
We've added this to our roadmap to gauge interest, but we don't have the internal resources to develop this feature in 2022. With that said, if we get enough traction on the request as well as raise funds, this is totally envisagable.

Personally I use "StickyPassword" manager.

No I don't want to do this via password manager as they are CLUNKY AS HELL when it comes to this type of function. NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL.

Also asking someone to install a Password Manager software is not ideal, as it then means that software overtakes their other sites and they would NOT like that. Having LicenceOne do the work would be ideal, as it would only interact and auto login for the sites WE TELL IT TO...

Yes I would 100% prefer LicenceOne as it allows me to share access in a secure way and 100% control that access with my users. Also gives me 100% accurate data as to how many times they login. Ideally even more data like, "how long they were active using software" would be ideal too.

This alone is a reason for someone to use LicenceOne, as managing subscription costs and so on is one thing, but managing the LOGIN and the USE of subscriptions is a HUGE SELLING POINT... It could even become your 2nd BIG REASON to use LicenceOne :)

I think a simple "this is the login details - username/email + password" which would only appear for that user (those users) with access to that license record... would suffice. However, to answer the above "HeyLogin" an AS deal (current) is who we're using (team account). It would be simpler to just host the login details here vs a whole "password manager" app type development. Extra nice would be a "copy" button to the side of the record.

Any more thoughts on this?

As my decision to keep or refund AppSumo deal is about to come up, so I need to make a final decision.

As for the "copy" for passwords instead of a password management extension for the browser, that won't work as:
a) I don't want them to know the passwords.
b) Having the extension can tell us how many times they log in etc. Could extend this till how long that "tab" was "active" for also as a useful feature / information.

If you can please give a little more info if this is something licence.one will develop or not, as I need to make a choice, I am fully stacked so its is little hard just "wing it"...

Sure 🙂

We're still short on the resources required to build a fully-functional password manager, and with the few votes this feature has received, we can't yet engage and say that we'll manage passwords in LicenceOne one day.

We'll still monitor this roadmap item for traction, as well as the password management market for exciting developments. It seems like HeyLogin, who are currently on AppSumo, have a refreshingly innovative approach to that - for example.

With that said, for point B I can say that we'll be developing a web extension that will allow SMEs to track employees' login activity and the time spent on each application. You can read more about that here:

Detect applications & login activity from LicenceOne web extension

After installing the web extension (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera), each time a user logged into a software application this information would be sent to their LicenceOne platform to track how often employess are *really* logging in. **Points of attention** This is one of the few solutions we've found for SMEs to actually detect login data accurately, but we have some concerns. 1. Full browsing history must ***never be available to the employer nor LicenceOne***; only login history for applications e.g. Johnathan logged into Salesforce on the 20/03/2021 at 17:22, and **never** Johnathan logged into {insert funny website here} on the 20/03/2021 at 17:23 2. Employees/end-users must ***always be in control*** of what they share with LicenceOne. If they want to disable the extension, undo the sending of login information, or completely erase everything - they should easily be able to. 3. ***LicenceOne should only track/log software related URLs - and nothing more***. The moment that we start tracking and analyzing *every* URL would be the day we can't look ourselves in the mirror.

We expect to begin working on the first version of said web extension at the start of next month and would expect it to be available to all users end of Q3/start of Q4.

Bests,
