Open Source Keeper Security Alternatives
Keeper Security is a zero-knowledge, FedRAMP High-certified password manager for individuals, teams, and enterprises with BreachWatch dark web monitoring.
Keeper Security is a zero-knowledge, zero-trust password manager and identity security platform available for individuals, families, and organizations of all sizes. Personal plans include a free tier (limited to one device and ten records), the Unlimited plan with cross-device sync and emergency access, and the Family plan with five private vaults and 10 GB of shared file storage. Business plans—Business Starter, Business, and Enterprise—scale from small teams up to large organizations, adding shared folders, delegated administration, SCIM/AD/LDAP/SSO integration, and role-based access control.
For teams and enterprises, Keeper goes beyond password management with KeeperPAM, its privileged access management solution that enforces least-privilege access, just-in-time elevation, full session recording, and remote browser isolation. BreachWatch continuously scans the dark web and notifies users in real time when any stored credentials appear in known data breaches, enabling immediate remediation directly from the vault. KeeperAI provides AI-powered threat detection with real-time risk classification across the entire credential surface.
Keeper’s key differentiator is its end-to-end zero-knowledge architecture: all encryption and decryption happens at the device level using AES-256 and PBKDF2, so Keeper’s servers never have access to plaintext data. This architecture underpins its extensive compliance certifications, including FedRAMP High, GovRAMP High, FIPS 140-3, ISO 27001/27017/27018, SOC 2, PCI DSS Level 1, HIPAA, and CMMC Level 1—making Keeper one of the most compliance-ready password and privileged access solutions available.
