- Share records and folders with set permissions, or send a time-limited One-Time Share link to someone who does not have a Keeper account.
- Zero-knowledge encryption
- Keeper says data is encrypted and decrypted on the user's device at the record level, so the company cannot access what is stored in a vault.
