Introduction
Keeper is a password manager designed to securely store and manage various passwords and sensitive information. It helps users generate strong passwords, organizes login credentials, and offers features like two-factor authentication and secure sharing to enhance online security. Keeper aims to simplify password management while prioritizing user privacy and protection against unauthorized access.
*Please note that ACC users are not able to use Keeper for secure file storage and therefore will not be able to upload file attachments to Keeper.
