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 (AgileBits, Inc)
I've described how I use it to manage confidential client logins for the websites I develop for them. Every site has a myriad of things that need logins - from setting up their domain name and hosting, to building the WordPress site, to getting them set up with email and maintaining their sites. When I need to provide IT support to our staff, I have my phone right there to log in to their computers to address the issues. When I want to order cookies from Amazon or check my home's security camera settings, it's there for personal needs as well. There are sharing features that I haven't explored enough to be comfortable with setting up for staff. They may be just great, but it is a place where I personally don't make use of the program.

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)
  • 1Password's Watchtower service is a real value add - 1Password monitors the security news for evidence of security breaches containing your credentials and alerts you if you have been impacted. That is a huge value as it enables you to get out in front of a security breach and be proactive in protecting yourself.
  • 1Password's core strength is that it makes it easy to practice good security hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for each site you interact with. This is something that all password managers do now, but offering an easy experience is key.
  • 1Password's password sharing features makes it easy to share team credentials with other team members, and to decide who amongst the team gets access to the designated credentials.

  • 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.

Its simplicity and vast functionality provide a solution to a former pain point for our organization. As long as 1P exists, we'll be customers.

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.

I don't know any of the software in the list, but normally, I used to save logins in Chrome - whether work or private, in separate accounts of course. Chrome stores information, even credit card info in plain text, that is easy to crack. 1Password is a step up, or even, several steps up from there. The Master key is stored in a Google service though, that 1Password gave me in a pdf format, but I consider that safe

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)
  • 1Password has empowered me to meet the stringent security demands of my organization without having to resort to complex, time-intensive encryption setups to store all of my various credentials. Instead of wasting time on building, configuring, and maintaining such infrastructure, 1Password manages it for me.
  • 1Password's annual subscription pricing model is reasonable, given a great deal of value, it has provided me, both personally and in my business operations. I don't need to invest capital into secure storage infrastructure to ensure that I always have my credentials at my fingertips, and I prefer to have a dedicated, focused security company own the hardware behind this great service.
  • The fact that I control my 1Password account means that I can get double the use out of it: personal and professional account credentials sit side-by-side in my secure vault. Because I do not need to rely on my internal IT department to provide access, I am confident in storing whatever I need to store.

  • 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.
