Keeper Security - Keeper Password Manager

What is Keeper Password Manager?

Keeper Password Manager is a cybersecurity tool that helps store, manage, and share passwords and other sensitive information using a single master password.
It has the following features:

Password generation: Automatically creates strong, unique passwords
Secure storage: Stores passwords in an encrypted digital vault
Access: Access passwords from any device
Autofill: Automatically fills in usernames and passwords on websites and apps
Passkeys: Manages FIDO2 passkeys
Secure file storage: Stores documents, images, passports, and other sensitive data
BreachWatch: Notifies users in real-time if their stored credentials are found on the dark web
Sharing: Allows users to share passwords, passkeys, and files with others securely

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 both a desktop and mobile app. Additionally, it offers a browser extension called KeeperFill for use on the web. The desktop application allows you to easily transfer vaults from LastPass without the need to import/export CSV files.
