The popular password manager app LastPass also spent some time in the spotlight this week thanks to the news that it was enabling passwordless, biometric login for users of its LastPass Authenticator solution.

The overall aim is to deliver an interoperable digital ID that consumers will be able to use across all of the UK’s major financial services providers.
