Keeper is a full digital vault as much as a password manager. Its personal plan covers unlimited passwords, devices and sync, Face ID and fingerprint login, identity and payment storage, a web app and browser extensions. It stores passkeys and two-factor codes, so you can drop a separate authenticator app, and its One-Time Share links let you send a password to someone who does not use Keeper, with access that expires on its own. The Family plan is well designed for households: 5 users get private vaults that other members cannot open, plus unlimited shared folders, 10GB of encrypted file storage and emergency access for estate planning. Keeper also highlights 24/7 support. The cost adds up, though. There is no free plan, the US App Store lists the Password Manager at $42.99 a year and the Family plan at $91.99, and dark web alerts are a separate BreachWatch add-on. Its website showed a non-US price from our location, so we used the App Store figures.
