Features[edit]

Files and passwords in Keeper can be synced, backed up in the cloud, encrypted with a 256-bit AES key derived from the user's master password using PBKDF2.[8] Every record in the user's private vault is encrypted and stored with a unique encryption key.[9] Keeper also addresses the problem of password fatigue, by autofilling login and password fields with stored information.[4] Sharing passwords between Keeper users is performed using 2048-bit RSA encryption.[10]

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.[11]

BreachWatch is a feature that monitors the dark web for stolen passwords and notifies the user within their vault.[12]

KeeperChat, a secure communications platform was launched in March 2018 that provides encrypted messaging, self-destructing messages, retraction and two-factor authentication.[13]

Keeper is a free service for storing passwords on a single device and has an optional annual subscription with cross-device syncing.[14]

Incidents[edit]

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.[24] A nearly identical vulnerability was already previously discovered and disclosed to Keeper in 2016.[25][26] Within 24 hours the company issued a patch.[27][28] Days later, the company that makes Keeper sued Ars Technica claiming their article was defamatory and misleading.[29] The lawsuit was dismissed on March 30, 2018 and Ars Technica added further clarifications to the article.[30] Keeper launched a public vulnerability disclosure program with Bugcrowd following the lawsuit.[31]
