Shared Folders in LastPass

Your Lehigh LastPass Business account includes a feature called Shared Folders, which you can use to share authentication information with other faculty and staff at Lehigh. For example, if everyone in your department shares access to an external site through a single password, one person can maintain the information for that site and share it with the appropriate people.

Create a Shared LastPass Folder

1. In the LastPass browser extension, click Sharing Center in the left navigation.
2. Click the Manage Shared Folders tab.
3. At the bottom right, click Add Shared Folder (the plus icon in the red circle). A Create New Shared Folder dialog box will open.
4. Give your folder a name, then click Create.

Add existing sites or Secure Notes to your folder by dragging and dropping, or by clicking the gear icon for the entry, then selecting the desired folder from the dropdown list.

When you create a shared folder, you are the only user and you have admin privileges. See our Add Users to Shared Folders article.

Add Users to Shared LastPass Folders

You must create a shared folder before you can specify users. Once you have done that, follow the steps listed here.
