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.

Faculty and Staff

Keeper Self-Enrollment Portal.

This will initiate the provisioning process, which will result in an email invitation to join Keeper password manager, but can take up to two hours.


Account Setup

  • Once you receive the invitation email click on the button "Setup your account now!", this process will open a new tab in your browser and start the account creation.

Keep the default and click Next 


The process will take a few seconds and a new tab will open with your vault ready to be used, at this point your vault will be empty.

KeeperFill Browser Extensions
