The best password and privileged access manager for Linux

Whether you're securing a single server or managing complex infrastructure, Keeper delivers the most trusted password and privileged access management solution for Linux environments.

Why choose Keeper for Linux?

Native Linux app

Keeper offers a fully supported desktop app for Linux, not a stripped-down web experience or workaround. Linux users get all the same features as people using Windows or Mac. This includes advanced password management, privileged session management and secrets management, right from the user’s desktop. It’s built for speed, usability and security on the Linux platform.

Zero trust and zero knowledge

Keeper operates under a zero-trust, zero-knowledge architecture. Every stored secret and connection is end-to-end encrypted, and Keeper itself cannot access or decrypt your data. Even administrators only see what their role allows, ensuring that your credentials and infrastructure are safe from insider and outsider threats.

DevOps friendly

Keeper is ideal for Linux-based development environments. It supports tunneling to databases and remote systems, a built-in SSH agent and CLI integrations, allowing developers to continue using tools like psql, mysql and scp without changing their workflows. Keeper Secrets Manager also integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows, helping teams secure secrets without slowing down development.

Privileged access

Keeper supports both agentless and agent-based PAM, providing organisations with the flexibility to deploy solutions based on their unique infrastructure and use cases. The agentless Keeper Gateway simplifies deployment by enabling secure, outbound-only access without requiring agents to be installed. For deeper endpoint control, Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager offers agent-based enforcement of least privilege policies.

Compliance auditing

For organisations that need to meet regulatory requirements, Keeper offers built-in session recording, audit trails and SIEM integration. Every SSH session, vault action and connection can be logged and reviewed. These features support compliance with FedRAMP, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and others, without extra complexity.

Unified platform

Keeper isn’t just a password manager; it’s a complete Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform. Linux users can leverage secrets management, secure file storage, privileged session management and remote browser isolation in a single application. This reduces tool sprawl and centralises control, providing both admins and end users a clean, powerful interface to protect credentials, connections and infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

Does Keeper work on all Linux distributions?

Keeper supports a wide range of popular Linux distributions, though not all are officially supported. The Keeper Desktop Application is officially supported on:

  • Fedora (28 or later)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.0 or later)
  • CentOS (7.3 or later)
  • Debian (8 or later)
  • Ubuntu (LTS releases 16.04 or later)
  • Linux Mint

The Keeper Web Vault, being browser-based, works on any Linux distribution as long as you use a supported browser, such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

Can I use Keeper with SSH?

Yes, you can use Keeper with SSH. KeeperPAM enables secure, zero-trust SSH access directly from the Keeper Vault. With KeeperPAM, you can:

  • Launch SSH sessions without exposing credentials to end users.
  • Store and manage SSH keys securely in the Keeper Vault.
  • Use built-in SSH agent functionality for seamless authentication.
  • Record and audit SSH sessions for compliance and security.

KeeperPAM eliminates the need for complex network configurations like reverse SSH tunnels by providing encrypted, cloud-based access. You can initiate SSH sessions directly from the Keeper Web Vault or Desktop App, and all credentials remain protected within the vault.

Is there a web-based option for Linux?

Yes, Keeper offers a web-based application called the Keeper Web Vault, which is accessible from any modern browser on Linux (as well as Windows and Mac). You do not need to install any software to use the Keeper Web Vault – simply log in through your preferred browser.

Supported browsers on Linux include:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Edge
  • Brave
  • Opera
  • Other Chromium-based browsers
