Keeper vs. LastPass

If you are looking for a reliable and secure way to store and manage your passwords, you might be wondering which password manager is the best choice. There are lots on the market, but most people stack up Keeper vs. LastPass.

CTO provide a managed service to help customers protect their secrets through a robust Password Management platform, and our business platform of choice is Keeper.

Keeper has proven to be really useful in a business environment.  Keeper offers one of the leading password management solutions on the market, but how does it compare to LastPass?

1.  Keeper has world-class security.  It was the first company to be SOC and ISO certified and is the only FedRAMP and State RAMP authorised company – with security approved by Federal and State government agencies.  Keeper has held ISO20071 & SOC2 certification status for a longer period of time than LastPass.

2.  Keeper is transparent about its unique, proprietary security architecture as disclosed at https://www.keepersecurity.com/security.html.

3.  Both employ 256-bit AES encryption.  Keeper supports encryption at multiple levels, whereas LastPass only supports encryption at the vault level.

4.  LastPass admitted a severe data breach in December 2022 when an intruder copied customer vault data using the credentials of a LastPass employee.  LastPass has taken steps to improve its security measures since that event.5.  Both LastPass and Keeper have excellent data protection and security features on paper.  However, Keeper’s superior MFA support, its history of favourable third-party certifications, and LastPass’ recent data breaches gives Keeper the edge.

6.  Business add-ons:  Keeper offers more options than LastPass when it comes to business-specific add-ons. An Advanced Reporting and Alerts Module, Compliance Reports, the Keeper Secrets Manager, secure file storage and sharing, and private hyper-secure messaging via Keeper Chat complete the catalogue.  LastPass has only a couple of extra services in Advanced SSO and Advanced MFA.

1.  Switching to Keeper is easy.  Keeper has created a seamless wizard that lets you import LastPass vaults directly into Keeper – in seconds!

2.  Keeper’s auto-password generator helps to create new, high-strength, random passwords for every website, application and system that you use.

3.  Keeper’s Password Sharing facilities allow you to share secrets between teams and departments within your organisation to ensure everyone who needs access can get access.

4.  Keeper will automatically perform a Security Audit on your stored information, identifying reused and weak credentials, so you can maintain high standards across your password estate.

5.  Keeper’s Breach Watch service constantly scans the dark web for breached accounts that match the ones stored in your Keeper Vault.  UT alerts you to High-Risk credentials so you can take immediate action to protect yourself and your business.

6.  Keeper is easy-to-use, simple to deploy, and the most secure product available.
