Keep your passwords and documents safe with this app.

I’m constantly having to log in and out of websites at multiple locations on multiple devices. I do it all with one  app and  it’s easy to do. And I only need to remember one password.

The app is called Keeper. For me, it’s the best password manager and secure digital vault you can find. 

 

I used to keep my password on my iPhone on the notes app. You know the one that comes with the iPhone.

I think it was a carry over from using notes on Outlook. I never gave it much thought.

It was easy to use but not very secure.

So I set out searching for something that was more secure but still easy to use.

Here’s some of the features that lead me to Keeper:

  • One passwords I remember  – I only need to remember one password. I can even use my fingerprint if I want to open the app.
  • It keeps me organized – All my passwords are organized. You can even create a file and store  all your passwords in one folder. This works perfect for say social media websites.
  • Backup – It’s easy to backup incase you have a mishap.
  • Anywhere I need it – iPhone, iPad and even a web app will allow you to use this app anywhere and anyplace.
  • File storage – do you need to store documents? You can and feel safe about the data being stored.
  • Password generator – There is a handy little password generator that will create a strong password for you. You should seriously consider using this tool.  In fact when you create a password Keeper will give it a strength rating.

According to Keeper, users are the only people that have full control over the data. Encryption of the data occurs at the device level. Only the user knows the encryption key. Yes that means if you forget your password you won’t be able to retrieve your data. This is the only method to ensure no one can gain access to your data.

Keeper uses what they describe as a “well-known, trust algorithm called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a 256-bit key length. Keeper also states “According to the National Security Systems publication CNSSP-15, AES with 256 Bit key-length is sufficiently secure to encrypt classified data up to TOP SECRET classification for the U.S. Government.” That’s seems pretty secure.

For ease of use and peace of mind I use Keeper. I feel a lot safer using a very strong password and having it stored in Keeper than using a weak password and trying to remember it.
