Keeper® vs NordPass: The best NordPass alternative

Keeper uses AES-256 encryption with a zero-knowledge, zero-trust architecture and record-level key generation, meaning every vault item is protected by its own unique key generated locally on the user's device. Keeper has no ability to access your data at any level.

Keeper's cryptographic module is FIPS 140-3 validated by the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program.

Keeper is FedRAMP High Certified and GovRAMP High Authorized, FIPS 140-3 validated, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certified.

Keeper holds the longest-standing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 attestations in the industry and supports ITAR compliance and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Keeper's government cloud is hosted on AWS GovCloud with U.S.-only data storage.

Keeper provides agentless remote access over SSH, RDP and database sessions with full session recording stored encrypted in the vault.

Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager enforces Just-In-Time (JIT) elevation on Windows, Linux and macOS. Automated credential rotation eliminates standing credentials across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. The Advanced Reporting and Alerts Module (ARAM) tracks over 200 auditable events with SIEM integration into CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Security Operations and Splunk.

Keeper provides KeeperAI®, an agentic AI engine embedded within KeeperPAM that monitors active privileged sessions in real time, analyzes keystroke logs and command execution, classifies behavior by risk level (Critical, High, Medium, Low), and automatically terminates sessions when a threat is detected.

Built on a Sovereign AI framework with flexible on-premises or cloud LLM deployment, each organization retains full data ownership.

Keeper provides KeeperDB, a built-in database management interface inside the Keeper Vault. Privileged users can query and manage MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases without credentials touching a local device.

Every session runs inside Keeper Remote Browser Isolation, is fully recorded and is governed by centralized least-privilege policies with a complete audit trail.

For teams that prefer existing tools or local development workflows, KeeperDB Proxy connects a local application to a localhost port, where the Gateway injects credentials fetched from the vault at connection time, enabling secure access without ever storing or exposing them to users or third parties.

Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) is a fully cloud-based, zero-knowledge secrets management solution requiring no on-premises components. KSM secures API keys, SSH keys, certificates and CI/CD pipeline credentials with built-in credential rotation. It integrates natively with Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and Jenkins, and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI tool integrations.

Keeper provides SDKs for multiple languages, a full REST API, CLI and deep SIEM, SOAR, IGA and SSO integrations.

Keeper provides a node-based organizational structure that groups users, roles, teams and admins by department, location or business unit, each with its own independent policy set.

Over 100 configurable role-based enforcement policies control device access, sharing permissions, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requirements and vault behavior.

Delegated administration, time-limited access, self-destructing records, nested shared folders and Duo/RSA SecurID MFA support are all included.

Keeper SSO Connect® provides fully federated authentication across all major SAML 2.0 identity providers. Users authenticate through their IdP and access their encrypted vault directly, with no additional credentials required.

Keeper also covers applications that don't support SAML, maintaining full zero-knowledge encryption throughout. SCIM provisioning handles real-time user provisioning, team assignment and deprovisioning.

Keeper operates data centers in the United States, U.S. Government Cloud (AWS GovCloud), Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan.

Customer data and platform access are fully isolated to the chosen region with no cross-border transfers.

Keeper's BreachWatch® continuously monitors the dark web for credentials exposed from users' vaults. BreachWatch uses a zero-knowledge matching architecture, where credentials are anonymized before any comparison occurs, so neither Keeper nor any external service can see plaintext passwords during the process.

Users and admins receive real-time alerts and actionable remediation guidance.

Keeper provides 24/7 customer support via phone and live chat with dedicated customer success managers for enterprise accounts. A sequestered U.S.-based support team handles government and ITAR environments.

Keeper is available on web, desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), mobile (iOS, Android) and browser extensions for all major browsers.
