In short
How we compare password managers: every fact on our comparison pages comes from Keeper's, 1Password's, NordPass's or LastPass's own published pages, or from the NCSC, Cyber Essentials and the FIDO Alliance, and each page shows when its facts were last checked. Pages set the business plans side by side by need, with no rankings, scores or prices.

Where our facts come from
Every product fact on this site comes from a primary source, linked where it is used:
- Each provider's own website: its product, plan, security and help pages, for Keeper, 1Password, NordPass and LastPass
- The NCSC: its guidance on password managers (opens in a new tab), password policy (opens in a new tab) and choosing a third-party password manager (opens in a new tab)
- Cyber Essentials (opens in a new tab): the NCSC and IASME requirements for IT infrastructure (opens in a new tab) (v3.3), for what they say about password storage and password managers
- The FIDO Alliance: its passkeys (opens in a new tab) pages, for how passkeys work and who provides them
Our pair comparisons against Bitwarden use Bitwarden's own website, bitwarden.com, in the same way. We quote providers in their own words where the wording matters, and say whose claim it is. Plan names are written the way each provider writes them, so a renamed plan shows up as a change. Search results, reviews on other sites and forum posts are not used as sources.
How facts are checked and dated
Each page shows the date it was last updated, which is when its facts were last read on the providers' own sites.
- We read the provider's current pages directly, including the plan comparison tables and help articles
- Each fact is recorded with its source page and the date it was read
- Where two of a provider's own pages disagree, we use the more specific one, or describe the difference
- Anything we cannot confirm on the provider's own pages stays off the page
Providers change plan names, features and limits regularly, so we confirm the current plan details with you at quote.
What our pages contain
Our comparisons set out what each provider publishes about its business plans, side by side, and answer 'which suits you?' by use case: if your organisation needs a particular feature, which provider offers it and on which plan. The choice stays yours.
- Business plans and features, named as each provider names them, with the plan each feature belongs to
- Security models and certifications as each provider describes them
- Business trials as published
- UK guidance from the NCSC and Cyber Essentials where it helps the decision
Pages carry no rankings, scores or ratings, no user reviews and no prices: business plans are priced by seats, plan and term, so we quote them for your organisation. We also leave out providers' awards, customer counts and marketing superlatives.
Weighing up the options?
We can compare them against your own requirements and recommend what fits.
Our scope
This site covers four business password managers in depth: Keeper, 1Password, NordPass and LastPass. They are the four we can quote for your business, which means we can compare them from the plan tables to how single sign-on and provisioning are set up. Because many organisations also look at Bitwarden, each of the four has a pair comparison with Bitwarden's business plans, built from bitwarden.com with the same method.
How we work with businesses
This site is run by Forever Systems, part of Forever Group (opens in a new tab). We can quote and supply Keeper, 1Password, NordPass and LastPass for your business, and help you choose and set them up. The plan and terms are confirmed at quote, and licences can be billed monthly.
The same sources and the same method apply to all four, so our comparisons describe each one on the same footing.
Corrections and questions
If you spot a fact that has changed or looks wrong, tell us and we can check it against the provider's own pages. Contact us with the page and the fact, and a link to the provider's page if you have one.

How we help with business password managers
We can quote Keeper, 1Password, NordPass and LastPass for your business, so we can recommend the one that fits rather than the only one we sell.
- Help you choose: we compare the plans against your identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta), your team size and how you share credentials
- Set-up: we can help you connect single sign-on and user provisioning, set policies and create shared folders or vaults for each team
- Moving in: we help you import passwords from browsers, spreadsheets or another password manager
- Licensing in one place: licences can be billed monthly, with the plan and terms confirmed at quote
We work with businesses, schools, charities and public sector organisations. Contact us to talk it through.
