## Source excerpt

Enterprise password managers (EPM) like 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, and Bitwarden help you create, store, and fill strong passwords and credentials across different websites and apps, so you don't have to remember or write them down. EPMs provide secure sharing, data encryption, and data breach prevention against phishing and malware, helping IT and Security teams protect and enforce policies around credentials. While there are many EPM options, choosing the best password manager can be a challenge. A side-by-side comparison helps you see which is best for your organization's cybersecurity strategy. If you're comparing 1Password and Keeper, it helps to start with what both products are built around: an Enterprise Password Manager (EPM). EPMs are how both platforms store, share, and enforce policies around credentials. They're the foundation for each vendor's broader security strategy. Below is a comparison of core features many organizations consider essential for protecting employees and their credentials.

They typically include a password generator and enable secure sharing among authenticated employees. Both 1Password and Keeper cover these basics.

In many deployments, 1Password includes critical capabilities as part of the standard product, while Keeper packages some features as paid add-ons. 1Password also includes 20 guest accounts with every business plan, which can be useful for securely sharing vault access with contractors, auditors, or temporary collaborators. Keeper does not offer equivalent guest access to vaults; sharing is generally limited to users provisioned within the same account. Encryption Both Keeper and 1Password EPM use AES-256 encryption.
