FAQ
The most common questions Americans ask about Keeper
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
How many times has Keeper been hacked?
Keeper has not had a breach of user vaults. It uses zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption and holds respected certifications, including SOC 2 and FedRAMP, so your data stays encrypted with a key only you control — even if its servers were targeted, the stored vaults would remain unreadable.
How much does Keeper cost per month?
Keeper's Unlimited personal plan works out to roughly US$3.58/mo on an annual subscription, with Family plans covering up to five people for more. There's a limited free tier restricted to a single mobile device, and promotions for new users can drop the price further. Note that some extras — secure file storage and BreachWatch dark-web monitoring — are paid add-ons rather than part of Unlimited, so check Keeper's site for the current rate and what's included before subscribing.
Is Keeper Security legit?
Yes. Keeper Security is an established US company whose password manager is used by individuals, families and large organizations alike. It has a zero-knowledge architecture and respected certifications such as SOC 2 and FedRAMP, which is exactly why it's trusted in business and government settings as well as by home users.
Is there a free version of password Keeper?
Yes, Keeper offers a free tier, but it's limited to a single mobile device and leaves out many premium features. For unlimited devices, secure sharing and extras like BreachWatch dark-web monitoring, you'd need a paid Unlimited or Family plan. In practice the free version is best treated as a trial of the paid product rather than a long-term solution.
What is the best free password keeper?
For a genuinely capable free password manager, Bitwarden is usually the top pick — it offers unlimited passwords across unlimited devices at no cost. Proton Pass also has a strong free tier with 2FA codes and email aliases. Keeper's own free plan is more limited, restricting you to one mobile device, so it's best viewed as a trial of the paid version rather than a standalone free option. If a free-forever plan is your priority, Bitwarden or Proton Pass will serve you better than Keeper's.
VERDICT
Is Keeper right for you?
A very secure password manager, ideal for families and businesses, with zero-knowledge architecture.
