Bitwarden code is open source, which is reviewed by the security community and available for anyone to see. A bug bounty program encourages security professionals to report bugs and even contribute to remediating them.

Keeper has historically discouraged public input about vulnerabilities

Bitwarden has unlimited premium support available for all users 

Keeper charges for premium support, basic support has a cap on how many times you can contact them.

Bitwarden supports advanced 2FA as a core feature included in all business plans, not just the most expensive one

Only available in the most expensive Keeper plan

Bitwarden offers more flexibility for SSO deployment and where the decryption key is stored

Keeper's Cloud SSO solution requires device provisioning ahead of time, adding overhead to admin teams. SCIM provisioning requires a SCIM bridge on customer-controlled infrastructure to enable provisioning.

With Bitwarden, easily export your vaults and move your data.

There is no simple way to export your organization’s data from Keeper, making it very difficult for users who may want to switch to a different service.

Bitwarden updates seamlessly across a diverse ecosystem of devices and platforms

With Keeper, there are some limitations in cross-platform functionality.

Bitwarden: Clear, straightforward, value-based pricing that delivers a faster return on investment

Keeper: Add-ons and complex pricing structures elevate costs, especially after the first year

Bitwarden: Free tier unlimited password storage across devices

Keeper: Free version limited to a single device

Bitwarden: Extensive CLI tools and API access for advanced users. Bitwarden offers custom integrations and flexible, open-source control.

Keeper: Enterprise-level API access only. SDK allows developers to manage passwords via command-line scripts. Not as flexible or adaptable as Bitwarden’s open-source CLI.

1. Log in to the web vault at https://vault.bitwarden.com, https://vault.bitwarden.eu, or https://your.bitwarden.domain.com if self-hosting.

2. Select Tools → Import data from the navigation:
   

   

   Import data

3. Complete the following fields from the drop-down menus:

   • Import destination: Select the import destination such as your individual vault or an organizational vault that you have access to.

   • Folder or Collection: Select if you would like the imported content moved to a specific folder or organization collection that you have access to.

   • File format: Select the Keeper import file format.

4. Select Choose File and add the file to import or copy/paste the contents of your file into the input box.

5. Select Import data to trigger the import. If you are importing a password protected .json file, enter the password into the Confirm vault import window that will appear.

6. After successful import, delete the import source file from your computer. This will protect you in the event your computer is compromised.

If your business has at least five users and no more than ten, you can get the Keeper Business Starter plan which offers fewer features than the Bitwarden Teams plan. 

Similarly, The Keeper Business Plan offers fewer critical capabilities than the Bitwarden Teams plan like advanced two-factor authentication, Directory Connector, and API access.

Keeper does not publicly disclose the price of their Enterprise plan and offers costly add-ons for certain features. The Bitwarden Enterprise Plan offers all Bitwarden features at a straightforward price of $6 per user per month for comprehensive password security. 

Because of the Bitwarden open source approach, Bitwarden undergoes continuous inspection and enhancement by developers, users, and security researchers across the world. As Bitwarden grows, more eyes, brainpower, and scrutiny are applied to each line of code, further solidifying the integrity of the application as developers and researchers proactively identify potential errors for resolution.

In addition to ongoing reviews from the dedicated Bitwarden user community, Bitwarden engages a variety of third-party security auditors, including HackerOne (crowdsourced ethical hacking), Insight Risk Consulting (penetration testing), and Cure53 (source code audits). 

This ongoing and rigorous review cycle fortifies the source code and the service, ensuring optimal security for Bitwarden users. (See bitwarden.com/compliance for a full list of Bitwarden’s security and compliance materials.)

• Company-wide Duo Security with Duo Push, SMS, phone call, and security keys

• Individual use of Duo Security and TOTP codes

• YubiKey OTP (any 4/5 series device or YubiKey NEO/NFC)

• Hardware security key (FIDO2 Passkey)
