Keeper Security Password Manager Introduces Biometric Passkey Login
Keeper Security, a leader in zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM), has launched biometric login using FIDO2/WebAuthn passkeys for its Chrome/Edge browser extension.
Key Features:
- Passwordless Access: Users can now unlock their Keeper Vault using biometrics (e.g., Touch ID, Windows Hello) or PINs, eliminating the need to type passwords.
- Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows and macOS devices, leveraging native biometric systems.
- No Companion App Required: Simplifies deployment while maintaining zero-knowledge encryption.
- Privacy First: Biometric data stays on the user’s device—never shared with Keeper.
Why It Matters:
- First in the Industry: Keeper is the first PAM provider to offer this capability across both browser extensions and CLI tools.
- Enhanced Security: Passkeys are phishing-resistant, device-bound, and cryptographically unique, offering a more secure alternative to traditional passwords.
- FIDO2/WebAuthn Standards: Aligns with global efforts to move beyond passwords, supported by the FIDO Alliance.
Keeper Security Expands Passkey Capabilities with Seamless Cross-Platform Support
In addition to enabling passkey-based login, Keeper Security now supports the creation, secure storage, and autofill of passkeys across all major devices, browsers, and operating systems. This comprehensive, cross-platform passkey management is available through Keeper’s browser extension, mobile apps, web and desktop vaults, and Keeper Commander CLI—empowering users to adopt passkeys without sacrificing usability or security.
Whether accessing the Keeper Vault or signing in to supported websites and applications, users can store and autofill passkeys effortlessly, eliminating the need for passwords or secondary authentication factors.
This functionality aligns with the growing enterprise adoption of passkeys. According to Keeper Security’s Insight Report: Navigating a Hybrid Authentication Landscape, 80% of organizations are currently using or planning to adopt passkeys to mitigate risks such as phishing and credential stuffing. However, many still struggle with managing hybrid environments that combine traditional and passwordless authentication methods.
Keeper simplifies this transition by offering FIDO2-compliant passkey support across all platforms and browsers, reducing complexity for both users and IT teams while enabling secure, scalable passwordless access.
The Keeper Browser Extension is available now via Keeper’s website, the Chrome Web Store, and the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store. The Keeper Commander CLI can be accessed through Keeper’s open-source GitHub repository. For more details, visit Keeper’s documentation portal.
