Keeper is a password manager application and digital wallet that stores website passwords, financial information and other sensitive documents[2] using 256-bit AES encryption, zero-knowledge architecture[3] and two-factor authentication.[4]

Features

Files and passwords in Keeper can be synced, backed up in the cloud, and shared using HTTPS and a locally stored encryption key.[5] Every record in the user's private vault is encrypted and stored with a unique encryption key.[6] Keeper also addresses the problem of password fatigue, by autofilling login and password fields with stored information.[4]

Keeper is a free service for storing passwords on a single device and has an optional annual subscription with cross-device syncing.[7]

Keeper comes pre-loaded on the Orange Dive 70 smartphone,[3] Samsung phones, América Móvil phones[8] and most AT&T Android phones.[9] As of January 2015, Keeper has more than 9 million registered users[10] and works with over 3,000 companies.[11] Keeper is available for download on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Windows Phone, Linux, Kindle, and Nook,[12] and available as a browser extension for IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.[6]

A feature called "Keeper DNA" provides multi-factor authentication using connected devices, such as a smartwatch, to verify a user's identity when logging into the vault.[13]

Keeper Enterprise

Keeper Enterprise is a multi-tenant password management and secure file storage platform for businesses. Features include file sharing, user provisioning, auditing, reporting, Active Directory integration[6] and delegated administration,[11] all of which are available within a centralized admin console.[6]

Incidents

In December 2017, Keeper was bundled with Windows 10 by Microsoft. Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy disclosed that the software recommended installing a browser addon which contained a vulnerability allowing any website to steal any password.[14] A nearly identical vulnerability was already previously discovered and disclosed to Keeper in 2016.[15][16] Within 24 hours the company issued a patch.[17][18] Days later, the company that makes Keeper sued Ars Technica claiming their article was defamatory and misleading.[19]
