![]() ![]() Also, just so you are aware – LastPass provides unlimited storage in their Free plan – you can read more about that in our LastPass Review. But, before you go clicking that ‘Sign Up’ button, read on to discover what else they have to offer. ![]() If unlimited storage is something you would find useful (which we think you will) then Keeper could be a good option for you. This gets a round of applause from us, especially as some password managers, like 1Password, don’t offer a free version, whereas others offer limited storage. Unlimited storage is available to anyone, even Free plan users. Storing all of your data in a vault can be likened to storing it in an impenetrable fortuitous, whereby encryption layers turn your data into random strings of code that can only be deciphered by yourself when you open your vault with your Master Password. However, all of these storage methods are unsafe and open to digital thieves to hack and access. We are all guilty of saving sensitive information in spreadsheets, jotting them down on a bit of scrap paper, or even storing them in the notes section on our phones. You’ll no longer be sat scratching your head trying to remember your login details for your social media profile, online banking accounts, or even searching for your bank card to enter your payment details when shopping online – simply open your vault, find the information you need and login, or even better, let Keeper auto-fill it for you – more on that later. Storing all of your data in one location has its benefits. One of the key benefits of Keeper is the ability to not only store unlimited passwords, but also identity and payment information including Passport Numbers, your Driver’s License, addresses, and credit card numbers. Unlimited Password, Identity & Payment Storage However, one useful tip to know is that if you sign up to either Keeper’s Business or Enterprise plan, each user included in your plan will also be given a private vault to store personal data, thereby separating it from any business passwords and files. We recommend focusing on more of the advanced features, which we will highlight throughout the review. Having a password vault is a standard feature of password managers and so, it shouldn’t be a factor in your decision. Other password managers like LastPass use open-source models so they can continually improve the level of security offered as a result of cybersecurity experts investigating every aspect of them.Ī password vault is an online safe, similar to the ones you find in a brick and mortar bank, wherein you can securely keep all your sensitive information.Īs with all other password managers, signing up to Keeper will grant you access to your private vault where you can store and manage your passwords, private files, and other types of data. However, one key thing to be aware of is that the model isn’t open-source, meaning it can’t be openly audited by security experts. Overall, Keeper’s model can be considered to be safe and secure. This can be likened to a double locking system on a safe. The first key is generated locally on your device and the second is generated when you use your master password, the only password to unlock your vault. To decrypt your data both keys are required. Keeper also uses a dual security encryption key feature to protect your data. AES256 is commonly used as a top-secret classification standard of the U.S. Most notably, each record of your data stored in your vault is individually encrypted with AES256 (Advanced Encryption Standard). To provide a layered security model to further enhance the protection of your data, Keeper makes use of multi-tiered encryption to offer some of the most advanced data protection available amongst password managers. The only information that Keeper has access to is your email address, details of your subscription plan, and the types of devices that you use with your account. To recap, Keeper doesn’t have any access to the data stored in your vault, nor do they have access to your Master Password. Nevertheless, it is an important measure. This method of protection isn’t unique to Keeper – it is a standard procedure of all password managers. In simple terms, this means that even if Keeper’s servers were to be hacked, hackers wouldn’t see any of your unencrypted data because Keeper doesn’t store it themselves. Whenever you log into your vault the encryption and decryption of your passwords and other sensitive data takes place on your device, also known as on-the-fly on-device encryption, meaning that Keeper never sees your true passwords but rather strings of encrypted data. The Keeper security model has a zero-knowledge design giving you full control over the encryption and decryption of your data. ![]()
