One secure vault per employee, and shared access under control.
Who Keeper is
Keeper Security was founded in 2011 in Chicago by Darren Guccione and Craig Lurey, who still lead it today. The company makes password management for individuals and businesses, and has grown into a complete platform for securing access.
Why a password manager
Leaked and reused passwords are one of the most common ways in for attackers. Nobody remembers a different strong password for every account. So people write them down, reuse them or share them by e-mail. A password manager solves that: every account gets its own strong password, and the employee only remembers one.
What Keeper does
A vault per employee
Passwords, codes and confidential notes, stored encrypted and available on computer and smartphone. Keeper fills them in automatically on the right website, and not on a fake one.
Shared access, under control
The supplier’s account, the online shop or social media: shared with whoever needs it, without showing the password itself. When someone leaves, you revoke access in one click.
Warnings about leaked data
With BreachWatch, Keeper checks whether stored passwords turn up in leaked data on the dark web, and warns straight away.
Management for the business
An admin console with rules for strong passwords, reports on weak or reused passwords, and sign-in through your existing company account (single sign-on).
How secure is it?
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Zero-knowledge | Encryption and decryption happen only on your device. Keeper itself cannot read your passwords. |
| AES-256 encryption | Each item is encrypted separately, with a strongly derived key. |
| ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 | Certified management of information security and of privacy in the cloud. |
| SOC 2 Type 2 | Independent audit of the security measures. |
| FIPS 140-3 | The encryption is validated to the US government standard. |
| Data in the EU | European customers are hosted in data centres in Ireland and Frankfurt. |
Keeper also has penetration tests carried out every quarter by outside specialists. In 2026 it was named a Leader in the GigaOm Radar for password management for the fifth year running, and won the German CHIP magazine test for the fourth time.

How Q-Ware uses Keeper
We roll Keeper out to all employees, set up the shared folders and teach your people how to use it. Together with multi-factor authentication, that closes one of the biggest risks. See Security.
Frequently asked questions
Is it not dangerous to keep all passwords in one place?
Less so than the alternatives. Thanks to zero-knowledge encryption, nobody else can read the vault, not even Keeper. And the vault itself is protected with multi-factor authentication.
What happens when an employee leaves?
The administrator closes the account. Shared access stays available to the colleagues who use it, so nothing is lost.
