The Best Passly Alternative in 2025

Kaseya officially released an end-of-life notice for its Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution, Passly (formerly AuthAnvil). According to Kaseya’s announcement, Passly will be fully retired by December 31, 2025. To prevent downtime and avoid potential security exposure, Kaseya recommends that its users migrate their environments by November 30, 2025. As Passly comes to an end, many users and organizations are evaluating other password managers and IAM solutions that can provide equal or greater security and ease of use. 

The best alternative to Passly is Keeper^® because it offers a unified platform for password management, Privileged Access Management (PAM), secrets management, secure remote access and endpoint privilege management through a zero-trust, zero-knowledge architecture.

What is Passly?

Passly is Kaseya’s IAM solution built to help organizations protect credentials, manage user access and simplify authentication processes. Passly combines Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO) and password management into a security platform that easily integrates with popular business applications. Some of Passly’s main features include:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Protects users by requiring them to provide an additional factor to verify their identity and prevent unauthorized access
• Single Sign-On (SSO): Simplifies user access by allowing employees to securely log in to multiple applications with only one set of credentials
• Password management: Provides secure storage and allows for secure sharing of credentials in encrypted vaults, ensuring strong password hygiene
• Directory sync: Integrates with Active Directory to automate user provisioning and deprovisioning
• Policy enforcement: Allows IT administrators to create and enforce access policies, including MFA requirements and password complexity rules, to maintain consistent security standards across an organization

While its core features support basic identity security, Passly lacks a fully integrated PAM solution, secrets management and modern remote access capabilities. As sophisticated cyber attacks grow more common, having these advanced security features is crucial for securing hybrid and remote infrastructure.

What is Keeper?

Keeper Security is a leading provider of zero-trust cybersecurity solutions that protect credentials and other sensitive information from modern cyber threats. Keeper’s unified platform includes password management, privileged access management, secrets management, secure remote access and more, making it an ideal choice for individuals, families, small businesses, MSPs and large enterprises. Keeper offers a variety of solutions tailored to different needs:

• Keeper Password Manager: Securely stores and autofills passwords and passkeys for individuals, families, small businesses and large enterprises with security features like encrypted vaults, user provisioning and compliance support
• KeeperPAM^®: Offers PAM by combining credential vaulting and secrets management, monitoring privileged accounts and limiting access to minimize attack surfaces
• Keeper Secrets Manager: Protects sensitive credentials, API keys and certificates in a zero-knowledge environment with Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) and automated credential rotation
• Keeper Connection Manager: Provides IT teams with secure remote access to devices, servers and databases without needing a Virtual Private Network (VPN), supporting RBAC, session monitoring and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
• Endpoint Privilege Manager: Eliminates standing admin rights and enables Just-in-Time (JIT) access across all Windows, Linux and macOS endpoints

Why Keeper is the best Passly alternative

As organizations prepare to move on from Passly, it’s important to choose a solution that not only matches its functionality but surpasses it. Here are the reasons why Keeper is the best alternative to Passly.

Keeper is a zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity platform

Keeper is a unified platform that enforces zero-trust access and uses zero-knowledge encryption to ensure only authorized users can access sensitive credentials — not even Keeper can see your data. Trusted by more than 100,000 organizations worldwide, Keeper serves enterprises in finance, healthcare, education and government, providing scalable solutions for businesses of any size.

Unlike Passly, which requires third-party tools to manage privileged access and secrets, Keeper combines everything into one platform, including password management, PAM, secrets management and secure remote access. As a result, Keeper’s unified platform gives IT teams the tools they need to protect users, endpoints and applications across their environments.

Keeper offers built-in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Keeper’s built-in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds another layer of security to protect credentials and prevent unauthorized access. Unlike Passly, which primarily focuses on traditional MFA methods, Keeper offers a comprehensive collection of MFA options that can be enforced consistently across every access point to meet modern security needs:

• Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTPs): Keeper generates TOTP codes for app-based verification, ensuring that even if your password is compromised, an unauthorized user cannot log in.
• Duo integration: For enterprises already using Duo, Keeper seamlessly integrates with Duo’s MFA system, allowing administrators to enforce additional security and maintain consistency with existing internal policies.
• FIDO2 WebAuthn: Keeper supports hardware-backed authentication for phishing-resistant logins, eliminating the sole reliance on traditional passwords.
• Smartwatch approval: You can approve Keeper login requests directly from your smartwatch with Keeper DNA, combining convenience with security.
• Biometric login: Secure your access to Keeper using fingerprint or facial recognition to quickly get into your Keeper Vault.
• Passkey support: Keeper enables passwordless login using passkeys on both Android and iOS devices for faster, more secure logins.

By enforcing MFA across all areas of access, including Keeper Web Vault, Keeper’s desktop app, privileged access sessions, shared records and administrative actions, every login is verified through several modern authentication methods. Keeper ensures users’ identities are verified continuously without deploying additional MFA tools, aligning with its zero-trust, zero-knowledge security architecture.

Keeper is cloud-native, scalable and easy to deploy

Keeper is a fully cloud-native, infrastructure-agnostic platform that eliminates the complexities and burdens often associated with legacy IAM tools like Passly. With Keeper, organizations do not need any on-premises installations, VPN configurations or firewall adjustments. Because Keeper is cloud-native, it deploys quickly and securely across any environment, allowing IT teams to focus on higher-priority tasks like managing users and enforcing security policies.

Designed to scale seamlessly from SMBs to large enterprises, Keeper supports multi-tenant deployments and automated user provisioning to streamline onboarding, no matter how quickly an organization grows. Keeper also supports hybrid and remote environments, providing flexible access through a browser-based web vault, native desktop applications and mobile platforms for iOS and Android devices. This ensures that users can securely access their credentials from any location and on any device while still maintaining zero-trust, zero-knowledge security.

Migrate from Passly to Keeper

With Passly’s retirement quickly approaching, now is the time for organizations to turn to a secure, scalable and modern alternative solution. Keeper offers a cloud-native, unified platform that surpasses Passly’s IAM capabilities with built-in MFA, secrets management, secure remote access and more. Designed with zero-trust, zero-knowledge encryption, Keeper gives IT and security teams the ability to protect credentials, data and infrastructure all from one platform.
