Our verdict

Keeper suits readers who want a password manager they can open on a free plan and grow into later, with passkeys, on-device encryption that keeps records unreadable to the provider, and a family plan that covers 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A free plan is included, and most managers in this comparison offer one too (72.3%).
  • Records are encrypted on the device using AES with elliptic-curve cryptography, so a stored vault stays unreadable to the provider, and TLS covers traffic in transit.
  • Coverage spans Windows, macOS and Linux, so one vault reaches desktop, mobile, browser extension and web app.
  • The certification list SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001 runs from SOC and ISO standards through to US government accreditations and a FIPS validated module.

Cons

  • The service runs under Keeper Security, Inc. and US terms, which readers in other legal regimes should weigh before storing sensitive logins.
  • Phone and chat support are less common than email and help centres in this comparison, at 41.1% and 34.4% of brands, though Keeper's email, chat and phone includes both.
  • Shared allowances stop at 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage, so a household that stores a lot of files needs a bigger tier than the family plan.

Who it suits

  • Readers who want to try a password manager on a free plan before paying for anything.
  • Households that need separate private vaults plus shared file storage, which is what 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage sets out.
  • People who want to reach help through email, chat and phone, including live chat and phone.

Who should look elsewhere

  • People who want one ecosystem for everything, since Apple's iOS, iPadOS and macOS covers its own devices and nothing else.
  • Teams that need Windows Server coverage, since Windows, Windows Server and macOS lists it and Keeper's Windows, macOS and Linux does not.
  • Readers who expect every manager in the comparison to hand out a free plan, since Total Password has none while Keeper does.

Audits, logging and jurisdiction

Keeper encrypts records on the device before anything leaves it, so a stored vault stays unreadable to the provider, and the service confirms that design. That is the part to check first if your concern is what the operator could see on its servers. The terms that follow your account are the US ones, so the privacy wording you sign up to is US wording.

Core features

Keeper apps cover Windows, macOS and Linux, so a single vault follows you between desktop, mobile, browser extension and web app. Passkeys are supported, which matters for accounts that have turned passwords off entirely. The family plan adds 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage, the part that makes Keeper useful for a household rather than a single login.

Frequently asked questions

Does Keeper have a free plan?+

Yes. Keeper offers a free plan, and so do most managers in this comparison (72.3%). The free tier shows how the vault behaves with your own accounts, while the paid family plan is where 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage comes in.

What kind of prices do these password managers sit in?+

Across the brands compared here, monthly plans run as low as €0.87 and as high as €63.95, while longer terms sit between €0.73 and €99. A median long-term price of €3.97 shows where a multi-year commitment usually lands.

What does the Keeper family plan include?+

The family plan covers 5 private vaults, 10 GB file storage. That is the sharing allowance: private vaults for each member of the household plus file storage inside the same subscription. It is what makes Keeper useful for a family rather than a single person, and the main reason to look past the free plan.

Can the provider read records in a Keeper vault?+

No. Records are encrypted on the device with AES and elliptic-curve cryptography before they are sent, with a stretched key derivation step and TLS in transit, and the service confirms that design. Authenticator codes sit in the same vault, recorded under totp.

Which audits and certifications does Keeper hold?+

The certification list SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001 covers SOC and ISO standards, US government accreditations and a FIPS validated module. Independent third-party penetration testing runs on a quarterly cycle. For readers who read the audit section before the pricing section, this is the part of Keeper worth slowing down on.

Which country are Keeper's terms under?+

The terms are US and the company behind the service is Keeper Security, Inc., headquartered in the United States. Jurisdiction matters for readers who care which legal regime handles a dispute, a data request or a removal order, so it is worth reading before work logins go in.

Which devices and browsers does Keeper support?+

The app and browser list is Windows, macOS and Linux, covering desktop, mobile, browser extension and web app under the same account. That matters for anyone moving between a work laptop, a personal phone and a shared machine, since the vault travels with the login rather than staying on one device.

Does Keeper support passkeys?+

Yes, passkeys are supported, and they are now the norm here, with 96.8% of the brands tracked offering them. That means passkey support is not a reason to pick Keeper over the rest, and the decision comes down to the free plan, the family plan allowance and support on email, chat and phone.
