Keeper Password Manager Review 2025: Keeping Your Data Secure

Keeper is a password manager that allows you to securely store an unlimited number of passwords, identity and payment details, and more. We liked the security audit, which flags any weak or reused passwords, as well as its commitment to zero-trust and zero-knowledge encryption so your private details remain private. 

However, it autofill capabilities are inconsistent and dark web monitoring is only available as an add-on. 

Let’s explore what you can do with Keeper Password Manager and how it can help protect your most valuable information.

Our  experience

We tested Keeper Password Manager on our laptop running Windows 11. We downloaded the Windows desktop app and set up the KeeperFill extension on our Chrome browser. 

We liked how Keeper provided a guided walkthrough, which can be really valuable for beginner users. We were prompted to import our passwords, install the browser extension, and set up other features. 

Keeper also has a clean dashboard with all the features clearly labeled on the lefthand sidebar. 

We wish our entire Keeper testing experience was easy, but that wasn't the case with KeeperFill. After importing our passwords, we opened Netflix to try the fill feature. 

Instead, Keeper prompted us to create a new record despite having imported our Netflix login. Netflix wasn't the only login this happened with, either. We did notice that KeeperFill worked with new logins we created within the app, but it should work with our imported entries too. 

Other than KeeperFill, the password manager worked as expected. We liked that Keeper provides lots of customization with the password generator and even options to generate a passphrase. The Security Audit tab also informed us of any weak or reused passwords so we could update them.

How much does the Keeper Password Manager cost?

Keeper offers a free version and premium plans that run for Free-$6.25/mo. The cost is dependent

After downloading and testing Keeper Password Manager, we think it’s a good value for your dollar. One major reason we like Keeper is that it’s never been breached unlike other products like LastPass.

We did find that Keeper is one of the pricier password managers on the market. NordPass and Bitwarden have starting prices of $1.49/mo (billed every two years) and $0.83/mo respectively, and they offer many of the same features as Keeper.

Keeper also offers some add-ons you can purchase with your subscription:

• Secure File Storage: Allows you to store images, passports, home deeds, and other sensitive files in your vault
• BreachWatch: Shares real-time alerts if any credentials saved in your Keeper vault are found on the dark web
• Concierge Service: Provides dedicated 24/7 support for your Keeper device and for general cybersecurity best practices

However, we're really sold on Keeper's commitment to privacy and encryption standards. There are also more expensive password managers out there, like Dashlane, but they usually include other cybersecurity features like a virtual private network (VPN). 

Keeper Password Manager features

Keeper Password Manager secures your login info in one digital vault. It also comes with custom fields so you can enter personalized information such as your driver’s license or other data you want to keep handy and secure. 

If you work with sensitive documents, Keeper also offers secure file storage that protects your photos, videos, and other documents in the encrypted Keeper vault. 

If you opt for the family plan, you can also share your passwords if you have emergent situations with up to five other users. We’ll dive into the specifics on Keeper's features below.

Password sharing

We liked that Keeper has a few options for sharing that give you more control. For example, you use the one-time share feature to share credentials with anyone, even if they don't have a Keeper account. You can also set how long before for the link to expires. 

We tested the one-time share by creating a link for one of our vault items. It displayed a timer for when our access would expire. 

With fellow Keeper users, you can share records, folders, and files. You can also set user permissions, including the ability to edit, share, or view only. There's even the option to transfer ownership to another Keeper user.  

Start by going into your records and clicking the Options tab to begin. From there, select Sharing and then add trusted people to share passwords with.

Password generator

If you’re out of ideas for new passwords, we understand. With enhanced security requirements, many applications ask for more than the simple passwords of previous years, including special characters, capital letters, and numbers.

We found Keeper’s password generator is easy to use. When viewing a record, you can edit it and click on the dice button to generate a unique, strong password. Once you set your password strength requirements, you’re good to go. 

Autofill

What’s a password manager without autofill? KeeperFill is the browser extension that fills your passwords into apps and websites for you. Once it’s set up, your password will be entered automatically once you select the login option. 

Our testing showed that KeeperFill struggles with imported passwords. You may need to clean your vault to get all your credentials working with this feature. 

KeeperFill can also enter other information, such as payment cards and addresses for online forms. You’ll see the extension in the upper right-hand section of your web browser unless you use Safari, in which it appears on the upper left-hand side.

Password strength report

If you want to ensure your passwords are as secure as possible, you can take advantage of Keeper's password strength report. This feature is located under the Security Audit section, and it gives a percentage of strong passwords in your vault. 

Our audit showed we had 94% of strong passwords and provided a list of all the weak and reused ones we should update. 

Digital legacy

Emergencies happen. There may be instances where you need someone else to have access to your passwords. With Keeper Password Manager, you can add up to five emergency contacts who will be granted vault access in the event of your untimely death or if an emergency arises.

When you add someone as a trusted user to your Keeper account, access is guaranteed for a specific time. That person will also have a Keeper Password Manager Account to receive the encrypted key. 

It’s simple to set up trusted users in your account section: Click on the Emergency Access button and enter the information.

Bonus features

BreachWatch is a monitoring tool that sends you alerts when your passwords are found on the dark web. Although the BreachWatch tab is on the app, all it could do for us was let us know about records at risk. 

We don't like how there's a button stating "Turn On Now" that leads you to a payment page. Keeper should be clear that this is an add-on and not a feature to be enabled, especially because many of the best password managers include dark web monitoring. 

We did like that offline vault access is included with Keeper. If you need to check your vault from a device that’s not connected to Keeper, it’s still available. You simply make a copy of your encrypted vault to a local device. Then, you can access it after providing your master password.

Keeper also has a Self-Destruct feature, which erases all locally stored data if there have been too many failed login attempts. This helps protect against unauthorized access to your vault. Don't worry though; paid users only need to log in to find the data again, it won't be gone forever. 

Keeper Password Manager privacy policy

Keeper Security's privacy policy shows users how their data is kept safe. It complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the U.K. Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, adn the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which was established by the U.S. Department of Commerce. 

In short, Keeper is responsible for processing the data it receives under these principles and transferring it to a third party on the EU-U.S. DPF's behalf. The company has a zero-knowledge architecture, meaning it doesn't have access to your master password, vault, or encryption keys. Only you can decrypt your stored information. 

That’s crucial for a password manager because you want to know your data is safe and unavailable to unauthorized parties.

Keeper Password Manager third-party audits

Because Keeper complies with the EU-U.S. DPF, it has stipulations to uphold, including third-party audits. Keeper has been audited by 3PAO, an independent third-party assessment organization to validate that proper controls are in place. Its audited annually to maintain compliance. 

Keeper also holds a number of certifications for compliance, including holding the longest-standing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications in the industry. The SOC 2 certification helps ensure user vaults are secured while the ISO 27001 certification protects any digital assets in Keeper's vault and cloud services. 

Is the Keeper Password Manager safe to use?

Keeper Password Manager is safe to use. According to Keeper's website, it's never been hacked or breached. Because it uses the zero-trust, zero-knowledge system, it makes it a more secure product. 

All encryption and decryption happen on your device when you log in to the vault. As the user, you’re the only person who can encrypt and decrypt your data.

Many users have found that Google Password Manager isn’t safe, and they need a better option for password storage and retrieval. With the emphasis on the use of 256-bit encryption and support for popular 2FA methods, Keeper is a great option.

Two-factor authentication

Keeper supports 2FA to better secure your account. You’ll get the benefit of several two-factor methods, including biometric login options such as fingerprint and Face ID, as well as authenticator apps like Google Authenticator. This helps avoid unauthorized users from logging in to your accounts.

You can also log in with Keeper DNA, which uses Apple Watch and Android Wear devices to confirm your identity. The Keeper two-factor codes can be added directly to your vault records, which is the built-in security layer. 

Keeper Password Manager customer service

If you need help with this password manager, you have some options. You can use the documentation portal, in which you’ll find user guides and product notes. For paid users, email, phone, and live chat support are also available. There are also Keeper 101 videos, which cover a variety of topics.

Keeper Password Manager FAQs

Bottom line

We love that Keeper is to keeping your personal information secure. When you opt for the unlimited plan, you’ll have a vault that stores unlimited passwords and other information. Every record in your vault is protected with AES-256 and zero-knowledge encryption, so your information will be kept secure with military-grade encryption and no one will have access to it but you.

However, we were frustrated by KeeperFill's inconsistency, as autofill is one of our primary reasons for using a password manager. We also wish BreachWatch was an included feature rather than an add-on.

Despite these flaws, Keeper proves to be a solid password manager that hasn’t been hacked, comes with lots of security features, and is user-friendly.
