Keeper Password Manager & Digital Vault makes managing your passwords easy. It also offers a variety of ways to log in and apps that are easy to use. I really like the way it lets you share your passwords with family and friends, while keeping them private too. Keeper has some great features for personal accounts, but competitors offer some of these for free. NordPass and Proton Pass offer more features, such as data breach monitoring and email masking, so they remain Editors' Choice award winners.
How Much Does Keeper Cost?
While Keeper does offer a restricted free version (limited to one mobile device and 10 records), most users will want to take advantage of its generous 30-day free trial to test all premium features.
A standard Keeper Unlimited (Personal) subscription costs $34.99 per year (around $2.92/month billed annually) and includes unlimited password and passkey storage across unlimited devices, seamless cross-device synchronization, emergency access tools, and secure sharing options.
For households, the Keeper Family subscription is $74.99 per year (around $6.25/month billed annually). This plan covers up to five family members with individual private vaults, 10GB of secure file storage, and administrative tools to manage vault access permissions, shared folders, and records.
Note: Keeper often has special deals on its website. These include discounts of up to 50% for personal and family plans. There are also discounts for students, military personnel and healthcare workers.
Getting Started With Keeper
 |
| Owned by Keeper Security |
Keeper's password manager is available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can download a Keeper extension for Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. You can also access Keeper on your smartwatch.
To start using Keeper, create an account on the web and secure it with a strong master password. You'll be able to add more protections to your login process after the initial setup. Appearance-wise, Keeper's apps and browser extensions look very modern and well-organized. You can customize Keeper's color scheme and change the browser extension's layout, both of which are nice perks. You can also make notifications linger for longer on the screen and zoom in on sections of the app windows using the keyboard with the app's accessibility features.
Once you're in your vault, import any existing passwords stored in your browsers or other password managers. Keeper can import from many competitors, including Bitwarden, Dashlane, Enpass, and Proton Pass. To import logins stored in your browser, you have to download a separate Keeper Import tool, which is unusual. Other password managers I've tested haven't required a separate download to import browser credentials.
After importing your existing passwords into Keeper, a pop-up notification in the app reminds you to delete the unencrypted file containing your credentials, which is good advice. If you want to switch from Keeper to a new password manager, it's very easy to export your vault in CSV, JSON, PDF, or KDBX format.

Next, you'll want to set up a passkey to login to your vault on your device without entering your master password. Keeper can create a passkey on any device that allows biometric locking. If you're unable to create a passkey to login, it may be because your desktop computer or other device doesn't allow biometric locks. In the future, it'd be helpful for Keeper to add an option to unlock your vault using a non-biometric option, such as a passcode or a hardware security key, similar to the passwordless vault login options offered by Dashlane or RoboForm.
You'll also want to set up a recovery method for your account. Keeper will generate a recovery phrase that you should store on a hardware security key or another device in case you lose the device storing your passkey and forget your master password.
Data Privacy Policies
Before I review and test a password manager app, I send the parent company questions about how private and secure it is. I've included Keeper's answers to my questions below.
Has your company ever had a security breach?
No.
Which information that has not been encrypted does the password manager store in user vaults?
None. Keeper uses a zero-knowledge model. This means that the plaintext data in your vault is encrypted locally on your device. It is never accessible in unencrypted form to Keeper or vendors. Keeper does not store unencrypted vault data on its servers.
What does the company do with its customers' personal information? Does it sell it, or share it with other companies or people?
Keeper does not sell customer information. We only use your data to provide services and may share it with other companies that help us (e.g. for support or analytics) if they agree to keep it secret.
What is your company's policy when governments and law enforcement ask for user information?
Keeper operates under a zero-knowledge model, which means that it cannot access vault content. The law says that we can only share general information about your account if the police or government ask for it. We will do what the law says we have to do.
I am grateful to Keeper for the detailed answers to my questions, and I have found that the above responses are in line with the privacy policy. I also recommend checking out Keeper Security's detailed blog posts on data transparency on the company's website.
Authentication and Security
 |
| Owned by Author |
A basic feature that all password management apps should include is support for multi-factor authentication (MFA). Without MFA, anybody who guesses, steals, or hacks your master password can access your vault. To set up MFA with Keeper, head to the Settings section in the web interface, tap Security, and then toggle on Two-Factor Authentication.
Keeper supports authentication via SMS, mobile authenticator apps, RSA SecureID, Duo Security, Keeper DNA (Keeper's biometric authenticator for smartwatches), or hardware security keys. In testing, I had no trouble setting up MFA using Apple Passwords.
Keeper can also function as an authenticator app. To set it up, navigate to a password entry and click on the Add Two-Factor Code button underneath the Custom Fields and File or Photos options. You can then either upload a QR code or manually set up a connection to an account that supports authentication via Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) apps.
Login Access
In Keeper's Settings menu, you can set an Auto-Logout timer and choose whether to auto-approve devices from familiar IP addresses.
I like that Keeper retains a list of your login activity in the Account section of the app. If you see a logged in device that you don't recognize or an unfamiliar IP address, it's time to investigate who's accessing your password manager..
Security Audit
In the Keeper vault, you can view a Security Audit section, which rates your passwords from weak to strong and notes any reused passwords stored in your vault. This feature is similar to the password hygiene features in competing products like Dashlane and LogMeOnce.
I received a perfect security score when I started my Keeper evaluation, which filled my inner overachiever's heart with warm satisfaction, but my joy was short-lived. In 2025, Keeper's vault security audit gave my vault an 87% score and identified ways to improve my credential security, so what changed?
The 2026 test vault didn't include a reused password, so I remedied this when creating new credentials to test Keeper. After the new (old) password hit my vault, Keeper lowered my score to 93%, which is still a bit high. My shortest passwords are also ones associated with massive data breaches, so they typically trigger alerts with other password managers' auditing systems. I did not pay for the BreachWatch add-on during this evaluation period, so perhaps that is why the score was a bit different this time.
Credential Capture and Replay
 |
| Owned by Author |
Like most password managers, Keeper captures passwords while you log in to secure sites. To start, log in as usual and then accept Keeper's prompt to save those credentials. Alternatively, you can click the Keeper icons in every username and password field to create a new login. Keeper opens a new window to generate passwords, which slows down the creation process.
When entering existing credentials into my vault, I found that Keeper's browser extension was inconsistent. On some websites, my credentials were automatically entered into the forms, without any prompting from me. Other times, I needed to click on the Keeper logo within the credential form field to prompt Keeper to fill in or create new credentials.
I'll get into this further in the form-filling section, but Keeper's browser extension didn't always load identification data into fillable web forms, which was disappointing. If you have trouble entering credentials in Keeper, right-click the field, scroll down to Keeper, then select the correct credential to enter. While I like that there are several ways to successfully fill in this data without copying and pasting, the autofill experience was still somewhat clunky. I did not encounter similar issues when using the iOS app to fill in passwords and personal information.
Password Generator
 |
| Owned by Author |
Keeper's password generator creates a new password or passphrase whenever you create a new record. If you log in with an existing password, you simply overwrite the generated one. By default, it generates 20-character passwords that include all character types (letters, numbers, and symbols) and meet our password recommendations.
Storage and Form Filling
 |
| Owned by Author |
You can attach a file or photo to any password entry in Keeper or create an entry to hold the attachment. With a free account, you can store five such attachments. If you want more storage space, you'll need to pay an additional $12.49 per year for an additional 10GB of secure online storage, $49.99 for 50GB, or $99.99 per year for 100 GB.
Notably, Keeper retains every version of every credential entry. You can scroll back through every password you've used for a given site and even restore an old version.
Keeper can also store and use personal data and credit card information to fill out web forms, but, as mentioned earlier in the review, this feature was a little inconsistent during the evaluation period. On some websites, Keeper's browser extension needed my permission to fill in information in form fields. On others, the information was populated in the fields automatically.
Keeper doesn't let you create multiple identities. Instead, you can only create a single identity, but you can save information in several different kinds of templates to fill in online forms.
Mobile Apps
 |
| Owned by Keeper Security |
I used Keeper's app on an iPhone. The company also offers an Android app.
Installing and logging into the app went off without a hitch, and after enabling autofill in the app's settings menu, I was able to enter my existing passwords and create new ones without any trouble. Keeper for iOS is particularly well-integrated with iOS 26. Instead of waiting for a pop-up screen from the app each time you want to fill in a password, the app triggers an iOS half-screen pop-over alert when it encounters a login screen, saving you a tap or two.
Like many other modern password management apps, Keeper's mobile offerings double as authenticator apps and can generate TOTP codes. One easy way to access these codes is on your smartwatch. Keeper has apps for wearable devices running watchOS and Wear OS. The app for Wear OS devices lets you access your passwords and TOTP codes.
Other password managers are starting to offer support for wearables, too. For example, 1Password has an app for watchOS, Dashlane has apps for watchOS and Wear OS, and LastPass has apps for watchOS and Wear OS.
