Keeper is a password manager application and digital wallet that securely stores website passwords, financial information and other sensitive documents using 256-bit AES encryption, zero-knowledge architecture and two-factor authentication. Files and passwords in Keeper can be synced, backed up in the cloud, and shared using HTTP secure and a locally stored encryption key. Every record in the user's private vault is encrypted and stored with a unique encryption key. Keeper also addresses the problem of password fatigue, by autofilling login and password fields with stored information.
