SMB / mid-market without a dedicated security team

Established LastPass shops with tuned policies

Pick: LastPass

If your team already runs LastPass with federated SSO and admin policies dialed in, and you have formally reviewed the 2022-2023 incident exposure (rotated credentials, raised PBKDF2 iterations), migration disruption can outweigh the security delta. Get a second opinion before you rip and replace.
