Keeper Security - Keeper Password Manager

What is Keeper Password Manager? 

Keeper is a robust password management tool that allows you to keep track of all of your work passwords in a secure vault and access them with a single password.  You only need to remember a single password.

Why did we transition from LastPass to Keeper?

After several LastPass data breaches of encrypted customer password vaults, Library and Technology Services suspended new Lehigh LastPass enrollment on January 3rd, 2023. To improve our security posture, we switched to Keeper, a robust Password manager.


Getting started 

Keeper has an desktop app as well as an app and mobile devices. Keeper also offers a browser extension called  KeeperFill for use on the web. The Desktop application will allow you to transfer vaults from LastPass easily, without having to import/export CSV files.
