# LAPS

Lithnet Access Manager provides two distinct LAPS capabilities

## Web-based access to LAPS passwords managed by Microsoft LAPS

If you have Microsoft LAPS deployed (either the legacy LAPS or the new Windows LAPS), you can simply user access to those LAPS passwords using the Access Manager Service. AMS allows you to provide a highly secure, mobile friendly, consistent user interface, for accessing LAPS passwords across you organization, no matter what tool you use to manage them.

* [Setting up access to Microsoft LAPS passwords stored in Microsoft Entra ID](/ams/v3.0/configuration/deploying-features/setting-up-laps/setting-up-microsoft-laps-for-aad.md)

## Universal LAPS access and passphrase support with Lithnet LAPS

Access Manager comes with an agent that can manage LAPS passwords in place of the Microsoft agent. Lithnet LAPS gives you the option of using much more friendly passphrases, instead of long and complicated passwords. It also works in places that Microsoft LAPS does not. We have full support for Windows devices that are domain joined, Entra-joined, or even stand alone. We also support managing the root password on macOS and Linux devices.

## Go one better than LAPS

However, you can go one better again, and do away with having to touch LAPS passwords in your environment entirely! Check out our RapidLAPS functionality for a fully passwordless LAPS experience.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/ams/v3.0/configuration/deploying-features/setting-up-laps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
