Why not just use Firefox? They have a dedicated password manager now, and it is higher quality than the password storage features in Chrome and the like.
For me the answer is centralized policy control. There are a variety of tweaks I can make to LastPass users usage. Forcing master password changes, forcing 2FA, having a master account to force resets for users who fail password recovery, limiting access, etc.
So this is for business users??

Unless the user is using Firefox sync, if the hard drive crap out or their Windows profile, they will lose all their passwords.

The Enterprise version is a multi-user business version yes. They offer LastPass in a variety of different flavors for personal and business use.

Have you looked at https://1password.com/
Btw, I tried (actually paid for it) Dashlane...no thanks. Terrible, gawd awful support!With this you can share Passwords very well. Bitwarden is pretty good.
https://bitwarden.com/blog/post/whats-the-right-way-to-share-passwords/Using Bitwarden collections is pretty awesome. It took a moment to understand how to use it correctly since I didn't bothered reading the documentation for first.

I use Bitwarden

Based on the OPs description they would have to be using FF sync, if it was on the table, to meet the requirements.

Those are my thoughts too. It's easy, built-in, no extra things to worry about.
All you need to do is tell them to use FireFox and sign in and sync.
It works on all devices, even phone. And you can retrieve a username/password if needed.

I think client is on edge or chrome but regardless of that it's a good idea.
I didn't know that Firefox had expanded their portfolio and now have something called Firefox Lockwise.

Now they need to make a plug in for Chrome

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/lockwise/Maybe Edge Chromium could be a good candidate to try. That's what I'm using and have been using as my main browser for over a year now. At this point, it's very polished and I've never had any issues with it. You can sign in and sync almost everything, and it also works on all devices including phones. Same concept as FireFox, but there are Group Policies for controlling it now. For business, it may work out better than FireFox.

So literally nothing that I have. Probably doesn't work on BSD, either.

I'm basing my suggestion off of the OP.
I was assuming "ordinary users using O365" was Windows PCs and if not, Android/Mac/Ios. That's also why I mentioned GPO, because of the Windows assumption. I highly doubt he's looking for BSD compatibility.
@Pete-S want to clear up the OS requirements for us, otherwise you have people assuming BSD compatibility needs.

Yeah, users are on windows and android/ios.

We used to be an all Linux O365 shop. They exist.

Not sure how Email services implies desktop OS.. That's like saying everyone using gmail is using Chrome Books or AOL users still have AOL Dial up lol.

It's the nature of the entire context of the original post. A lot on here like to strawman, which throws things way off all the time, like now.

Nothing in the context of the original post implies any OS at all. "Ordinary users" implies nothing. We almost all have ordinary users on O365 with Chromebooks, MacOS, Linux, etc. Using "strawman" to mean "solid argument" doesn't make it a bad point. Windows is very likely part of the equation, but there is a good chance it isn't all of it. And whether it is or not, it purely a guess until we are told.
