![]() I also liked an optional feature that blocks screenshots of the app, although I suspect that could be defeated on phones with custom ROMs. The mobile app can use a smartphone’s fingerprint reader for authentication (provided you’re using the for-pay service) or verify identity through an external wearable device. For one, the mobile app has a much more elegant and native look and feel the desktop app is a cross-platform Java concoction, with all the UI clunkiness that implies. It’s so good it makes the desktop client look like an afterthought. The mobile version of Keeper is excellent. (The cloud-synced copy is kept safe, though.) A product like KeePass wouldn’t be able to implement this, because one could always swap in an alternate KeePass client that didn’t honor a self-destruct restriction. After five unsuccessful password entry attempts, Keeper records will be deleted from the device in question. Keeper’s self-destruct feature protects you if your device is lost or stolen. Keeper’s desktop client won’t win prizes for interface design, but it’s functional - and the mobile client is excellent. However, a little search-and-replace made all well. A CSV I exported from KeePass was rejected because it had line breaks in the imported notes column. If you’re importing data from another password manager, Keeper is quite strict about the format you use. Some of this may be by design to deliberately reduce the application’s potential bug count or attack surface. For instance, while there’s a random password generator, there doesn’t appear to be a way to customize it to meet your organization’s password length or complexity requirements. The app is basic and straightforward, but not very flexible. Installing the desktop client automatically sets up browser plug-ins that perform automated sign-ins on websites. User/password pairs can be stored in a folder hierarchy, and password entries can include user-specified fields or file attachments. The core functionality for Keeper is in line with that of the competition. It also has a few smart features I haven’t seen anywhere else, such as the self-destruct function. To the one-way nature of the algorithm used to generate it.Keeper Password Manager may not be as impressive to look at as others in this roundup, and it doesn’t sport as broad a range of functionality, but it gets the job done.
