Keeper vs 1Password: which password manager is best for you?

Keeper is a popular password manager that was made in Chicago by Keeper Security. It came out in 2010. In Keeper’s well-designed vault, users can store passwords, identities, and payment methods. Then, Keeper sorts your passwords into different categories and shows you which ones have been shared, which ones need two-factor authentication, and which ones you can choose as your favorites. All of the credentials you keep in your vault are encrypted with AES-256, and Keeper gives you a score based on how strong your passwords are so you know when you need to make them stronger.

Keeper will also mark any passwords you use for more than one account to remind you that it’s best to use a different password for each account. On top of all this, there is an extra feature called Breach Watch that constantly checks the dark web to see if your information has been stolen. This is a very useful tool, but you have to pay extra for it while other password managers do this for free. 1Password used to only work on Macs, but it has since grown and become one of our favorite password managers. Users can store their logins, notes, bank cards, and server information in the vault of 1Password. Any credentials that are added are sorted by type, and users can add tags to make things easier to find and more personalized.

The safety watchtower feature of 1Password is especially great. The watchtower will tell you which of your passwords are about to expire, have been used before, are weak, or could be broken. Any passwords that were saved on websites that had data breaches are also taken away. With 1Password, you can share passwords by using shared vaults. This means that families or businesses can store all of their passwords in one place that everyone in the group can access. The AES-256 encryption standard makes sure that all of these passwords are safe. When it comes to importing passwords, 1Password falls short. Users who already have their credentials in another password manager and want to move them may find that they don’t have as many options as they would with other password managers.

Keeper vs 1Password Plans and Pricing

Both Keeper and 1Password cost about $35 a year for the level of service we were looking for, which was all of the premium features that each password manager has. Keeper’s family plan costs a bit more than 1Password’s. It costs $74.88 per year for up to five people, while 1Password’s family plan costs $59.88 per year for the same number of people. Neither service has a free version, but both offer free trials (1Password for 14 days and Keeper for 30 days). Each trial period is more than enough time to try out one of these services.

Both have business plans with prices that are about the same. A business starter plan for Keeper costs $264 per year, and the same plan for 1Password costs $239.94. Both prices are great for this level of service, but again, 1Password has the edge. Even though a Keeper individual plan is the cheapest option, that’s not enough to make it the winner in this category. Simply put, 1Password is a better deal, especially for families and small businesses.

Keeper vs 1Password Comparison Table

Keeper vs 1Password Ease of Use

1Password is often thought to be the easiest to use because its interface is well-organized and easy to get around. Users can easily access a wide range of features and manage their passwords. Users of 1Password can set up their accounts in minutes and use the 1Password popup to automatically fill in their information when they sign into their accounts.

Keeper’s interface is also easy to use, but some people may find it less easy to use than 1Password. Once set up, users can manually add new passwords to their “vaults” and make folders for different information and passwords. Also, both 1Password and Keeper support biometric login with compatible devices. This means that users can sometimes sign in with their fingerprints or faces. This makes it easy and safe to sign in.

Keeper vs 1Password Security Features

Both 1Password and Keeper have strong security features to keep your passwords and other information safe. Some of these are two-factor authentication, biometric login, end-to-end encryption, and security alerts. Both tools also have dark web monitoring features that can let users know if their login information has been stolen on the dark web. Keeper and 1Password also work with apps like Google Authenticator that make TOTP (time-based one-time password) passwords. Users of 1Password will also get a PDF document called an Emergency Kit that they can save to their desktop. This document can be used to decrypt passwords if they lose access to their accounts.

Keeper vs 1Password Customer support

Keeper and 1Password both have different ways to contact customer service, but neither has live chat. When you are having trouble, you should go to Keeper’s knowledge base first. It has a huge number of detailed guides, how-tos, and even videos that can help both new and experienced users. The server status of Keeper is also shown on the help page. Keeper has a ticketing system that agents can use to get help at any time. You won’t get answers right away, but the wait times are usually not too long. And the agents are always helpful and do their jobs well.

1Password also wants you to look through their huge knowledge base before you do anything else. If not, you could also use email, Twitter, or community forums to get help. The second and third choices tend to get a response faster than email. Overall, it’s hard to choose between the two because both password managers could help their users more. But Keeper wins because it has a ticketing system that works 24/7 and a faster response time.

Keeper vs 1Password Performance

All of your devices (Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android) can download 1Password. So, you can get into any of your vaults and get a password from there. Keeper also has desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as mobile apps for iOS and Android. You can also add 1Password to Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers by downloading an extension. With this extension, relevant passwords from your vaults can be filled in automatically on account login forms. Keeper has a similar browser extension called KeeperFill that lets you automatically fill in passwords on online forms with just one click.

Keeper has an easy-to-use interface that makes it easy to move around. It keeps all of your passwords in one place, making them easy to get to. You can organize your passwords in this vault by using different folders and subfolders. In 1Password, you can make more than one vault, but in Keeper, you can only have one vault. This feature makes it easier to keep track of your passwords in 1Password, but it makes the interface a little more complicated. Keeper is easier to use than the other choice.
