Keeper Password Manager Reviews

Keeper offers a modern, lightweight, fast, and intuitive app across all platforms, with a wide choice of entry types. Along with typical login details, the service can store information for debit and credit cards, driver’s licenses, database credentials, photos, and more. It speeds up the process by offering a list of brand names and logos that can be assigned to each entry, and further information can be added in the additional custom fields.

Keeper’s impeccable password generator is able to generate passwords of up to 100 characters, which include letters, numbers, and special characters. The software allows users to select which type of characters to use to make it easy to comply with websites’ password requirements.

Keeper keeps up with authentication technology and is compatible with passkeys. By using its browser extension as an authenticator, the software is able to activate the user’s personal private key and log into their accounts in no time.

Finally, the password manager evaluates password strength and informs you of duplicates, ensuring you follow password hygiene best practices.

Sharing data with Keeper is also easy and secure, with a variety of access options available. It’s not only possible to set each entry as view-only, shareable, and editable but also to transfer its ownership to another person altogether. Additionally, Keeper has a view-only, one-time share option with time limits and single-device restrictions, which provides highly secure private access.

Keeper provides two options for companies, the first being the Business Starter plan. It’s aimed at small businesses with five to ten people and offers each user their own private vault and unlimited devices.

This plan comes with activity reports and team management options, such as permissions and role-based enforcement policies, letting the administrator set different roles for each user and customize settings accordingly. Some of these restrictions include blocking particular groups from using the mobile app, disabling entry re-shares, and applying privacy screens.

The addition of security audits and reporting in the business plans means that the platform has a proactive approach when it comes to identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities. Plus, it grants management detailed reports of interactions within the system, encouraging transparency and enabling early detection of suspicious activities or security breaches.

For a medium-sized company of ten or more employees, there’s a subscription that offers all the same benefits and more. Keeper Business delivers advanced features, such as a more elaborate and customizable organizational structure and the possibility to delegate and share administration. The top-tier subscription also provides all users with private vaults and a free Family plan for personal use.

Keeper provides apps for all major operating systems and devices: macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, and Kindle. Along with the autofill extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari, the service comes with useful customization options. It’s also possible to use the web vault without installing any apps or extensions, but this comes with the downside of not being able to use the autofill when opening your apps or browsing online.

Keeper’s mobile app is very well designed with an intuitive interface, with everything necessary to control the digital vault being easily accessible. Plus, syncing data between devices is processed internally with no user input required. Keeper sends a request to its server with each login, allowing every device to be continuously synced.

For new users of password managers, Keeper has a vast choice of user guides. Its setup is swift and straightforward. Additionally, users who find any problems can go over the various tutorials available explaining how to set up an account, save passwords, and use the other features.

Users only need to provide an email and create a master password to register, which is the only password that needs to be memorized. When first logging in, Keeper provides prompts using a startup wizard to help the client achieve full functionality and security.

It’s best to start by importing existing passwords from browsers, other password managers, or a CSV file. Following this, Keeper’s clean browser extension should be installed.

Next, the user is prompted to set up their account recovery settings, which is critical to ensure maximum protection. This is attained by generating a 24-word recovery phrase using the same BIP39 mnemonic code system as crypto wallets use. Although not mandatory, it’s recommended to also set up emergency access options in a bid to further secure your data.

The user should finish setting up by installing the desktop and mobile apps to have the full Keeper experience. Be aware that the password manager asks for two-factor authentication every time it detects a new device during login. For those importing their passwords for the first time, it’s best to use the security audit feature right away to verify their integrity.

Security is where Keeper earns its stripes claiming to be ‘fanatical’ about protecting your information. This explains why it has some of the best protection on the market.

Keeper is a zero-knowledge security provider, which means it uses AES-256 and PBKDF2 encryption, indicating that data is encrypted on your device and not in the cloud or on its servers.

The password manager uses the Amazon AWS cloud infrastructure in multiple locations to fully operate the user’s vault. It also offers various two-factor authentication methods with text messages, RSA SecurID, Duo Security, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, its own Keeper DNA, FIDO2 physical security keys, passkeys, and biometrics authentication for compatible devices.

Users can set up a self-destruct sequence that will erase all locally stored passwords in the event of five consecutive unsuccessful login attempts. However, be sure about your choice before risking such an extreme loss.

It’s also possible to assign up to five trusted Keeper users as emergency contacts and grant them access to the user’s vault in an emergency. Nevertheless, these contacts still won’t have access to the master password. It’s important to mention that it’s only possible to delete an account and data by emailing customer support.

Keeper offers various plans for individuals, families, and businesses. Best Reviews readers can enjoy a 50% discount on the Personal and Family plans. The cheapest option, Personal, covers one person for only $1.46 per month with annual billing.

However, the best savings come with the Family plan, which covers five users at $4.37 per month, also billed annually. This results in a monthly cost as low as $0.87 per person, and each user has their own additional private vault.

At $2 per user per month with annual billing, the Business Starter plan includes activity reports, shared team folders, user management, and more. Unfortunately, this plan only supports up to 10 users, so bigger teams will need to subscribe to the Business plan. While more expensive, it does come with advanced user administration.

Additionally, any user can test Keeper with its 30-day free trial without providing any credit card details. However, if users decide to for the subscription, no refunds are available. On the bright side, everyone can try Keeper’s free cybersecurity tools, such as its dark web scan, available on their website.

On another note, if you choose not to subscribe, accessing Keeper for free with limited functions on one mobile device is still possible. It’s worth checking in on the site regularly as the company may offer impressive seasonal promotions of up to 50% off.

The vast number of resources available on its website are rich and valuable assets, with user guides and video tutorials for all platforms to help you get the most out of the software. There’s also a blog with the latest topics on Keeper and cybersecurity in general, plus a short demo for businesses.

Additionally, not being able to customize the categorization of data entries might be a problem if you need to organize a large amount of data. Keeper’s BreachWatch dark web monitoring is convenient but, unlike some competitors, is a paid extra.

Regardless, we found all apps and extensions simple to use and visually appealing, providing the user with an excellent experience and a strong sense of safety. With security as its top priority, Keeper is still one of the best password managers on the market. Anyone subscribing will get a straightforward and attractive solution for securing all types of sensitive data.

It’s possible to try Keeper through the 30-day free trial available before biting the bullet. If you decide to take the leap, don’t forget about the generous Best Reviews 50% discount on selected plans.
