1Password is replacing LastPass as UW-Madison's supported Password Manager. 1Password was selected for its intuitive user-friendly interface, robust set of features, and excellent track record in safeguarding sensitive data.
Current LastPass users are being invited to 1Password starting in December 2024. LastPass will remain active until May 2025. For more information and updates, refer to the transition FAQ: 1Password - LastPass Transition FAQs
How to add sub-domains (e.g. doit.wisc.edu is a sub-domain of wisc.edu) to your LastPass URL rules to help ensure that LastPass auto-fills the right credentials.
1. Go your LastPass Vault.

2. Click on the Account Settings (Gear icon) in the lower-left corner of the Vault.
3. Navigate to the URL Rules tab and Click Add.
4. Add the sub-domain to the list.
You also have the option of adding the hostname of a server/site or the full URL path to a website for more specific matching. In the case of the full URL path, this could help prevent phishing attacks, because LastPass will only auto-fill on an exact match. Spoofed (faked) URLs will not be an exact match.
