Keeper vs LastPass: Comparing Password Managers

Keeper Security and LastPass are both popular password managers for individuals and organizations, but they differ in the capabilities they offer and how customers feel about them. When choosing a password manager, it’s important not only to choose one that suits your personal or business needs but also one that offers strong security and has a reputation among customers for being trustworthy and reliable.

In this blog, we’ll compare Keeper and LastPass based on the password management plans they offer, encryption methods, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) support, security certifications and customer reviews and ratings. 

LastPass vs Keeper: Password manager features comparison

Here’s a detailed comparison of password manager features offered by Keeper and LastPass.

Plans and pricing 

Keeper and LastPass offer competitive pricing for individuals, families, small-to-medium-sized businesses and enterprises. Both platforms include a free Family Plan for business users, but Keeper offers it across all business tiers, while LastPass limits the benefit to its Business and Business Max plans, leaving Teams customers without access. Keeper is also transparent about all its pricing, unlike LastPass.

For students, healthcare workers and members of the military, Keeper offers discounts to new users. While LastPass occasionally promotes limited-time deals for users, it does not offer consistent discounts. Both platforms provide optional add-on services at an additional cost.

Encryption

Keeper employs a zero-trust, zero-knowledge security architecture with multi-layered encryption to ensure that sensitive data is protected at every level. All encryption and decryption occur locally on the user’s device using AES-256 encryption in GCM. Every individual record – passwords, files, custom fields and even metadata – is encrypted with its own unique key, providing true record-level encryption. Keeper also uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with a high iteration count (1,000,000 by default) to derive encryption keys from the user’s master password. Additionally, Keeper incorporates Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for secure record sharing, key exchange and its SSO implementation.

In comparison, LastPass does not explicitly state that it uses record-level encryption in its technical documentation. Instead, its architecture appears to support encryption at the vault level, meaning all vault contents are protected by a single encryption key. In August 2022, LastPass disclosed that a cybercriminal had exfiltrated source code and technical information from its development environment. That information was later used in a second incident disclosed in December 2022, when the cybercriminal targeted a LastPass employee and obtained credentials and decryption keys, which were then used to access a cloud storage service and copy customer vault backups. At the time of the incident, URLs and other metadata were unencrypted. Only after this breach did LastPass begin encrypting URLs. This incident, coupled with a prior breach in 2015 that exposed users’ email addresses and account metadata, has raised ongoing concerns about LastPass’s encryption model and long-term security posture.

MFA and SSO support

Keeper and LastPass both include basic MFA options like authenticator apps, hardware security keys and SMS codes in their business plans. However, Keeper reserves advanced MFA integrations like Duo, RSA SecurID and SSO for its Enterprise Password Manager plan, similar to LastPass. 

With Keeper Enterprise, organizations can integrate with multiple Identity Providers (IdPs) simultaneously, including Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, Ping Identity, OneLogin and any SAML 2.0-compatible IdP. While LastPass Business Max also supports SAML-based SSO, its implementation is typically tied to a single IdP, which can limit flexibility for organizations managing complex or multi-directory environments. Additionally, LastPass Federated Login lacks key functionality, including offline vault access, MFA within the SSO flow and account recovery options – all of which are fully supported by Keeper through Keeper SSO Connect®.

Certifications

Keeper is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance. Keeper holds the longest-standing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications in the industry. That means Keeper has continuously demonstrated compliance with 114 information security controls and has implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that meets the internationally recognized ISO standard. In addition to SOC 2, Keeper is also SOC 3 compliant. Keeper is both FedRAMP and GovRAMP Authorized, which means Keeper’s solutions have been reviewed by the government and authorized for use by federal agencies and state governments.

In contrast, while LastPass also holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, its compliance portfolio does not match the depth of Keeper’s. LastPass is not FedRAMP Authorized, limiting its suitability for federal organizations. Keeper’s extensive certification coverage reflects its commitment to delivering the highest levels of security and trust not only for government agencies and businesses, but also for individual users who rely on Keeper to protect their most sensitive data.
