1Password and Keeper are password management solutions used by companies to ensure employees are using secure passwords and that their passwords aren’t compromised, to apply role-based controls and to enforce stricter access standards for teams or employees if desired (e.g. 2FA), and also to help enterprises ensure account data (and therefore data accessible through these accounts) is not accessible to rogue entities. These particular password solutions also include security intelligence, in the form of Password1’s domain breach reporting, and Keeper’s dark web monitoring service, Breachwatch. Both solutions are popular with companies of all sizes, though they both tend to be deployed more at smaller companies.

Features

1Password and Keeper provide basic password management features such as password generation and storage, and have greatly overlapping feature sets. In addition to commonalities and overall similar ratings, they do each have a few standout features users have called attention to, that distinguish one from the other.

1Password users enjoy the core password generation and auto-fill functionality, noting that the tool is customizable to generate passwords that meet a company’s security policies.Users also enjoy multiple separate vaults for personal and business use, transferable vaults, and easily administered access control to vaults. 1Password also features a travel mode to protect sensitive passwords when using other networks. Users can select important passwords, and when they leave the network, the passwords are removed until they return. Lastly, 1Password offers multiple ways to set up two-factor authentication, including SMS, facial recognition, fingerprinting, and more.

Keeper is noted for being easy to use across devices, organized and accessible on any screen (e.g. mobile). Keeper has a highly customizable interface, so administrators can tailor the user experience to best suit their needs. Additionally, Keeper can run security audits to check the quality of every password stored in the application. Keeper is also preloaded on some operating systems and devices, which makes implementation simple. And in 2021 Keeper launched Keeper SSO Connect, included in its enterprise subscription, a SAML 2.0 service to integrate Keeper with an existing SSO solution, which users already appreciate, as well as its user provisioning capabilities.

Limitations

1Password and Keeper have strong password management features, but there are a few areas where users have expressed some discontentment.

1Password has poorer usability compared to Keeper, largely due to more limited customization. At times, the Windows version of the 1Password software is updated at a slower pace than the Mac version. Password reset can also be difficult, as users have to reach out to the administrator to reset passwords, rather than having an automated system in place.

Keeper has limited two-factor authentication options in its basic package. Users state that sharing and role / access management may be more cumbersome than in 1Password. Lastly, Keeper doesn’t offer any travel mode or additional security measures for off-network protection.

Pricing

Both 1Password and Keeper offer free trials where users can test the products for a limited time before deciding if either is right for them.

1Password has three pricing tiers for businesses. The Teams package costs $3.99 per month per user and comes with basic password management features including password vaults and two-factor authentication. The Business package costs $7.99 per month per user and includes advanced protection features that administrators can enable. The Enterprise package is priced depending on the business and includes a dedicated account manager and setup training.

Keeper offers two pricing tiers. The Business plan costs $3.75 per user, per month and includes password vaults and basic two-factor authentication. Enterprise pricing is no longer published but may cost about $80.00 per user per year, and includes access to the developer API for custom integrations and advanced two-factor authentication features.

1Password is a great tool when it comes to data security and managing your passwords. It is perfect for daily work that requires accessing a lot of different login credentials to different softwares, servers etc., so it is a great tool for all web developers and programmers, but also to project managers and other employees that have to login to multiple different services regularly.

I can only think of scenarios where Keeper is well-suited, in my experience. I work in small business (i.e., sole proprietor, 1 employee) environments and Keeper is well-suited to my needs. I imagine it would also be well-suited to multi-user environments, but would require a great deal more management and organization in such environments.

Pros
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.
  • Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.
  • It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.
  • Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.
  • A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

Keeper Security
  • Ease of use. User find it simple and intuitive to use and I find they rapidly adjust to the software with minimal training.
  • Single-sign-on. Super important and really makes things simple for the users and easy to manage for us in the IT team.
  • Sharing features. We knew sharing was a key component of our password management solution. Keeper makes it easy for users and simple to administer.

Cons
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
  • On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

Keeper Security
  • I find that Keeper could use some work with their desktop interface, a sleeker and friendlier user interface would definitely benefit them.
  • Keeper doesn’t have a Security Dashboard, which makes it more complicated to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your passwords.
  • The automatic web form filling is somewhat limited at the time, but im sure they will improve it soon.

Usability
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

It's just easy to use, plain and simple. It has the complexity and user-interface that gives you confidence in its build but the ease-of-use that keep things from getting too complicated. A huge plus when you have to onboard new members of the team or summer interns when you need them to step in and make orders on your behalf.

I have never had any issues with 1Password and they have always been able to answer my questions adequately resolve my issues. Furthermore, they have a robust peer forum that can be accessed. They have helpful "Get to know Apps", videos and many articles to assist in the process of using the product.

1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
1Password and LastPass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to LastPass from 1Password. LastPass simply offered better pricing for their business tier k(cheaper by $1/user/month.)

I have used the Apple cloud, but if you forget your password into that, once again, you’re at the mercy of calling customer service. With Keeper, you can use the thumbprint option to log on, and there’s any of your needed passwords. It’s fast and simple, and you don’t have to wait online to unlock the app you’ve locked yourself out of.

Return on Investment
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • It saves time, and time is a very expensive resource.
  • The account details and the sensitive business information in safe behind the 1Password encoding, while staying accessible to stakeholders
  • The password generation is a secure and quick way to help employees register new services on their own.

Keeper Security
  • The spreadsheets and printed papers being passed around the office with passwords on them have gone! This is a huge security hole plugged.
  • Users actively use the software which says something - it is easy to use and intuitive. When software is not intuitive, it tends to not get used.
  • It gives IT control over who does what with passwords, and while difficult to quantify it is certainly a dramatically positive impact on the organization.
