As IT admins, you&#8217;d think complex, secure passwords would be the norm, right? Surprisingly, local administrator passwords are often just as predictable as those of end-users. Add in classics like &#8220;password&#8221; or &#8220;admin123&#8221; and it\u2019s practically inviting trouble to your network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techblogs.42gears.com\/types-of-cyber-attacks-you-should-be-aware-of\/#:~:text=2.%20%C2%A0Password%20Attack%3A%20When%20a%20password%20is%20weak%2C%20predictable%20or%20repeated%2C%20it%20becomes%20easy%20for%20a%20hacker%20to%20crack%20your%20password%20and%20log%20into%20your%20bank%20accounts%2C%20e%2Dmail%20accounts%20etc.%2C%20The%20result%20of%20this%20is%20obvious%20loss%20of%20possible%2C%20resources%20and%20cn%20lead%20to%20identity%20theft.%C2%A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Weak passwords make it far too easy<\/a> for hackers. If a cybercriminal gains access to a local admin account with a predictable password, they can move across multiple systems within a network, especially when the same password is reused across devices. Relying on manual password management only increases the chances of human error or oversight, leaving networks even more vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Efficient password management is critical and this is where SureMDM Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) comes in. It takes the headache out of managing local admin account passwords and ensures your account is secure and compliant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019ll dive into what SureMDM LAPS does, its standout features, and why it\u2019s a game-changer for IT teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-administrator-password-solution-laps-explained\"><strong>Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LAPS ensures that each device\u2019s local administrator account password is unique, complex, and regularly rotated by utilizing a combination of automated policies and encrypted storage. Passwords are generated dynamically based on predefined complexity rules, stored securely in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/products\/mobile-device-management\/\">SureMDM<\/a> web console.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These passwords are then automatically updated either after each use or at regular intervals, ensuring that no static or shared password exists. This eliminates risks associated with shared passwords across multiple devices, prevents unauthorized access, and aids in audit compliance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-of-suremdm-laps\"><strong>Key Features of SureMDM LAPS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automatic-password-rotation\"><strong>Automatic Password Rotation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Passwords can be automatically rotated at set intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Rotate Password Upon Use\u2019 option to ensure that passwords are reset immediately after use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-admin-account-addition\"><strong>Local Admin Account Addition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add existing local administrator accounts to enable LAPS. SureMDM will automatically create new admin accounts if they don\u2019t exist on the devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many organizations usually rename the default admin account from \u201cAdministrator\u201d to a custom name for security reasons. With SureMDM LAPS, you have the option to easily add default admin accounts for Windows devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SureMDM can easily track such accounts, ensuring seamless management even if default admin account names vary across devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-password-complexity-options\"><strong>Password Complexity Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Admins can configure passwords to be simple, medium, or complex, depending on organizational requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complex passwords include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters for enhanced security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audit-reports\"><strong>Audit Reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>\u2018SureMDM LAPS Report\u2019<\/strong> captures essential details such as account names, types, associated groups, and password, including last modified dates.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps identify anomalies, such as unexpected password resets or unauthorized access attempts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Local-Account-Password-Solution-Report.png\" alt=\"LAPS Policy Report\" class=\"wp-image-116057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Local-Account-Password-Solution-Report.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Local-Account-Password-Solution-Report-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Local-Account-Password-Solution-Report-1536x731.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SureMDM LAPS Report in the SureMDM Web Console<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-access-control\"><strong>Access Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Role-based access ensures that only authorized personnel can view or manage passwords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Superusers and designated admins can configure LAPS, while others are restricted to viewing specific reports or actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visibility-and-management\"><strong>Visibility and Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Admins can view LAPS configurations and associated passwords directly in the SureMDM console.

This is a lifesaver for scenarios where devices stay offline for a while. Imagine a device is set to rotate passwords daily but stays offline for seven days\u2014by the time it reconnects, you\u2019d have seven password resets, and no way to access the device if you need to troubleshoot any issue as the current password is unknown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Online LAPS, password rotation only kicks in when the device is online, so admins always have the current password when they need it. This feature strikes a balance between maintaining robust security and ensuring practical accessibility for IT admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how SureMDM LAPS would look in your SureMDM Web console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-feature-in-SureMDM.png\" alt=\"Local administrator password solution for Windows, macOS, Linux\n\" class=\"wp-image-116051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-feature-in-SureMDM.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-feature-in-SureMDM-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-feature-in-SureMDM-1536x731.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SureMDM LAPS for Windows, macOS, and Linux<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Features-of-SureMDM-LAPS.png\" alt=\"Configuring LAPS for Windows, macOS and Linux\" class=\"wp-image-116039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Features-of-SureMDM-LAPS.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Features-of-SureMDM-LAPS-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Features-of-SureMDM-LAPS-1536x732.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Setting up SureMDM LAPS for Windows, macOS, and Linux<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1918\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-Dynamic-Job.png\" alt=\"SureMDM LAPS-Dynamic Job\" class=\"wp-image-116045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-Dynamic-Job.png 1918w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-Dynamic-Job-768x273.png 768w, https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LAPS-Dynamic-Job-1536x546.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1918px) 100vw, 1918px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View SureMDM LAPS in the SureMDM Web Console Homepage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Setting-up-LAPS-account.gif\" alt=\"View LAPS settings and password\" class=\"wp-image-116075\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View SureMDM LAPS password and configurations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-suremdm-laps\"><strong>Benefits of SureMDM LAPS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enhanced Security:<\/strong> By ensuring unique passwords for every device and rotating them regularly, LAPS minimizes the risk of unauthorized access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified Troubleshooting:<\/strong> IT admins can temporarily share passwords for troubleshooting, knowing they\u2019ll be rotated automatically afterward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance Ready:<\/strong> Detailed audit trails and password reports simplify compliance with regulatory requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-Friendly:<\/strong> SureMDM\u2019s intuitive console makes configuring and managing LAPS straightforward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-world-scenarios\"><strong>Real-World Scenarios<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mitigating Insider Threats:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If an IT admin leaves the organization, the LAPS configuration ensures their knowledge of past passwords becomes irrelevant, as passwords are rotated automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preventing Data Breaches:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the event of a lost or stolen device, the built-in password rotation mechanism ensures that the compromised password becomes invalid, safeguarding sensitive data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified Troubleshooting:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Temporary passwords can be shared with team members for troubleshooting.
