Where Passbolt and Keeper Overlap and Differ.

Passbolt delivers what Keeper users need — Self-hosted, open source, auditable control.

Keeper is widely appreciated for its polished user experience and enterprise-ready password management features. Passbolt covers the core capabilities teams expect from a modern password manager while adding something Keeper cannot offer: full infrastructure control through open-source software and self-hosted deployment.

Secure Password Sharing

Keeper and Passbolt both enable teams to securely store and share credentials. Passbolt provides granular sharing permissions, user and group management, and secure collaboration workflows that allow teams to control exactly who can access or update a password.

Enterprise Security Standards

Both platforms follow strong security principles: end-to-end encryption architectures, preventing vendor access to stored secrets. Passbolt uses the OpenPGP standard, a widely adopted and interoperable encryption framework designed for secure collaboration. Passbolt uses encryption with per-user, per-secret encryption, meaning each credential is individually encrypted for each authorized user.

Cross-Platform Access

Keeper and Passbolt provide browser extensions, mobile applications, and desktop access so teams can retrieve credentials from any device, without sacrificing security or usability.

Enterprise Integrations

Both solutions integrate with identity providers and enterprise infrastructure through SSO, directory synchronization, and provisioning capabilities. Organizations can manage user access through their existing identity systems.

Open Source Transparency

Unlike Keeper, Passbolt is fully open source. Organizations can inspect the code, audit the security architecture, and maintain independence from any single vendor.

Self-Hosted Deployment

Passbolt can be deployed entirely within your own infrastructure. This allows organizations to maintain full control over where sensitive credentials are stored and how the password management platform operates.

Flexible Migration Paths

Moving from Keeper to Passbolt is straightforward thanks to Passbolt's import capabilities and migration support. Teams can transition their credentials while maintaining existing workflows and security practices.

No Vendor Lock-in

Passbolt uses open standards (OpenPGP, KeePass KDBX) for data portability. Export your credentials at any time in standard formats. With Keeper, your data lives in a proprietary system with proprietary encryption, on a system you have no control or ownership.
