Our verdict: Keeper is a polished paid password manager with strong encryption, Windows Hello unlock, passkey support, secure sharing and emergency access. On Windows it is effectively a paid app: the free plan only works on one mobile device with 10 records, so the desktop app needs the 30-day trial or a subscription. Bitwarden or KeePassXC give you unlimited passwords on the PC for free.
About Keeper Password Manager
Keeper Password Manager stores passwords, passkeys, payment cards and identity data in a vault encrypted with zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption, so Keeper Security cannot read it. The Windows app supports Windows Hello login and includes Keeper Forcefield, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera and Brave fill in logins automatically. Paid plans add unlimited devices and sync, secure sharing, emergency access for trusted contacts and 24/7 support; BreachWatch dark web monitoring and extra file storage are paid add-ons.
Keeper offers a 30-day free trial of its personal plans. The free plan that remains afterwards is limited to one mobile device and 10 password or passkey records, so it does not cover the Windows desktop app. The official pricing page lists Keeper Unlimited at $42.99 per year ($3.58 per month billed annually) and Keeper Family for 5 users at $91.99 per year; prices shown can vary with promotions and region. The current Windows app requires Windows 11 or later.
