Keeper vs 1Password: Which one is better?

Keeper is built with a proprietary zero-knowledge security architecture, meaning all encryption and decryption is done locally on the user’s device. Each record is encrypted using AES-256 with a different and unique key that is randomly generated, client-side.

Keeper has the longest-standing SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and TRUSTe certification in the industry. Keeper’s ISMS will ensure that strict security controls are in place to protect customer data and ensure secure operation of products and services.

Keeper is also FedRAMP Authorized and GovRAMP Authorized - demonstrating its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity.

Keeper is ITAR compliant, with all development and engineering performed by U.S.-based employees who are U.S. citizens.

Keeper does not outsource any software development.

Keeper provides shareable folders and individual records within a single vault to allow for easy and effective access, sharing and management.

Shared records between Keeper users works by encrypting the record key with the public key of the recipient.

A record share in Keeper is kept fully in sync with the source data so the shared record is always up-to-date. Keeper's sharing also supports bi-directional edits.

Keeper provides users with Time-Limited Access sharing, enabling them to set an expiration date on shares, ensuring access is revoked and extending least-privilege.

Keeper supports One-Time Share links to non-Keeper users, but even that method keeps the data perfectly in sync between the users. Further, Keeper has enabled Self-Destructing Records, allowing users to create records that can be shared with anyone and will delete themselves from the sender’s vault after a specified period or after the recipient views the record.

Keeper integrates with all SAML 2.0 Identity Providers (IdP), including Azure, Okta, Ping and hundreds of others.

When using Keeper with SSO, there's no master password, and encryption is performed using 256-bit Elliptic Curve keys.

Keeper holds multiple US utility patents on zero-knowledge SSO integration and other technology.

Keeper has a dedicated application in both the Azure Marketplace and Google Workspace Marketplace, providing quick time-to-value for organizations and easing SSO integration. Keeper is the only dedicated app in the industry in the Google Workspace Marketplace for SSO and SCIM configuration.

Keeper provides a fully cloud-based system for syncing Google Teams to Keeper without hosting any infrastructure.

Keeper is seamless, using push notifications to allow for a frictionless login experience.

The Keeper Automator service provides automated device approvals without requiring any user interaction.

Keeper supports direct SCIM provisioning with any identity provider, without requiring any software installation.

Keeper supports multiple identity providers, configurations and nodes for different organizational units - all within the same Keeper tenant.

Keeper's BreachWatch^® keeps everything within its infrastructure and protects hashes with hardware security modules.

BreachWatch's backend architecture is built to prevent the correlation of a breached password with the actual password in the user's vault, regardless of the size of the data breach. The hashing used in the breached password detection utilizes a physical hardware security module to ensure that hashing can only be performed online - preventing any threat of brute force attacks on BreachWatch data.

Keeper offers hosting in the U.S., U.S. (GovCloud), EU, AU, CA and JP.

Keeper provides six API languages and more than 20 integrations with popular CI/CD and developer tools. Management of secrets is fully integrated into the Keeper Vault and the Commander CLI. Keeper's secrets manager platform provides record-level and folder-level access.

Keeper Secrets Manager is fully cloud-based and does not require any on-prem service to broker requests. KSM was built from the ground up to be fully integrated into Keeper's platform.

Keeper supports automated password rotation, enabling users to securely rotate credentials in any cloud-based or on-prem environment. Users can rotate service accounts, Active Directory accounts, Windows or Linux user accounts, cloud accounts, SSH keys, database passwords and more.

Automated password rotation is managed directly in the Keeper vault.

KeeperPAM^® offers a full-stack privileged access platform that unifies enterprise password management, secrets management, connection management, zero-trust network access and remote browser isolation all within a single, cloud-native console.

KeeperPAM includes granular audit and session recording with over 200 event types, video playback and SIEM integration. It also delivers Just-in-Time (JIT) access and automated password/key rotation for on-premises and cloud-based VMs and databases.

With Keeper's Endpoint Privilege Manager add-on, IT teams can enforce JIT access, remove standing privileges and grant time-limited admin rights directly on user endpoints. The agent-based solution supports Windows, macOS and Linux, and allows security teams to elevate processes, applications and tasks without exposing credentials.
