How Keeper and Junify differ for shared accounts at work

Keeper Business and Keeper Enterprise are password managers for companies: every employee gets an encrypted vault, and teams share logins from it. Junify lets people sign in to your company’s shared accounts without being shown the password. Keeper suits the passwords employees use themselves. Junify suits shared accounts used by staff who change over time.

What Keeper Business and Enterprise do

Keeper calls each saved login a record. You can share records with individual people or whole teams, and Keeper Business has shared team folders. For a record shared with a person, you choose view only, can edit, can share, or can edit and share. You can share with someone outside your company too, once they accept a sharing request by email.

Time-Limited Access shares a record or folder for a set period and removes the access automatically when it ends. Two-step verification codes can be saved in a record and filled in when signing in from the web vault or browser extension.

Keeper’s event reporting includes events for opening a record, copying its password and filling it in. Business and Enterprise include a recent-activity report, and custom reports and alerts come with the Advanced Reporting & Alerts module, an add-on. Enterprise connects to identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, so people can sign in to Keeper with their company login. Keeper has a web vault, desktop and mobile apps, and browser extensions, and it can fill in passkeys.

Two ways Keeper keeps a password out of sight

Privacy Screen

Privacy Screen hides passwords in the Keeper vault, the browser extension and the mobile apps. Keeper describes it as “a deterrent from casual observation.” It also says the masking “is only visual in nature.” The password itself still sits in the person’s vault.

Remote Browser Isolation in KeeperPAM

KeeperPAM is Keeper’s product for privileged accounts. You buy it on its own or as an add-on to Business or Enterprise. Its Remote Browser Isolation runs the website in a browser inside a Keeper Gateway, a service you deploy yourself on a server, virtual machine or container service. The person sees and works in that session from their Keeper vault. Keeper says it can fill in logins “without ever sending the credentials to the user’s device.”

Admins choose whether files can be uploaded or downloaded and whether the clipboard works. They can also record the session. By default the remote browser keeps no cookies or history after the session. To fill in a login, you write rules that point to each sign-in page’s username, password and code fields.

What Keeper’s password manager leaves open for shared accounts

People you remove may already have the password

A hidden password still sits in the person’s vault. So someone you remove from a share may have it until you change it on the service. Locking an account blocks that person’s vault, but it doesn’t change the passwords they could use. When KeeperPAM or Keeper Secrets Manager is paired with Time-Limited Access, you can schedule a password change for when the access ends. The full steps are in What to stop and what to change when someone leaves a shared password manager.

People without a Keeper account

Keeper shares with people who have a Keeper account, and admins add users by email. One-Time Share sends a time-limited link to someone without an account. But it isn’t available for a record with Privacy Screen on, and the recipient sees the record when they open the link.

Records and locking stop at the vault

The event report covers actions inside Keeper, and locking someone blocks their vault. We found no way, in Keeper’s password-manager documentation, to record or limit what someone does on the service after autofill. We also found no way there to close a site the person already has open on their computer.

Using Keeper and Junify together

Passwords that only one employee uses stay in Keeper. Shared accounts that staff use for work go into Junify. If you run KeeperPAM, your department’s everyday shared logins can still go into Junify.

When you move an account, change its password on the service first. Store the new password only in Junify, and delete the old record from the shared folder. If you skip the change, everyone you shared it with can still sign in, including people whose screen hid it.

Which one fits

Both Keeper columns rest on Keeper’s documentation site and product pages. Where a cell says “not found”, we looked there and didn’t see it, which doesn’t mean Keeper can’t do it. Naming that basis follows the FTC’s comparative advertising statement, 16 CFR 14.15(c), which supports comparisons whose basis is clearly identified.

Keeper’s password manager alone is the better choice when everyone who shares a login can have a Keeper account. Changing the passwords after someone leaves a share should also be manageable for you. It’s also the one to pick when people need the vault on their phones. If you can run a Gateway of your own and want the password kept off people’s devices, KeeperPAM’s Remote Browser Isolation is the better fit.

Junify fits when staff who change over time, or people without a company email, need a department’s shared accounts. It also fits when you want controls after sign-in without running a server of your own.
