Keeper Adds Verify Mode to Prevent Phishing
Keeper Security released Verify Mode in version 17.8 of its browser extension, an anti-phishing feature that validates credential usage at the point of entry. Verify Mode monitors password paste activity and checks whether the destination site matches the record in a user’s Keeper Vault, warning or blocking mismatches. It offers configurable protection levels (Medium, High, Maximum). The 17.8 browser release also prompts users to disable built-in browser password managers, supports adding custom fields directly in the extension, and encourages setting Keeper as the default password manager. The announcement was published via PR Newswire on April 27, 2026.
A product release that strengthens enterprise credential security and zero-trust enforcement at the browser level; useful to security and identity teams but not industry-shifting for AdTech/MarTech.

Keeper Adds Privileged Access Controls to Microsoft Teams
Keeper Security announced the Keeper Teams App, a customer-hosted integration that embeds governed, auditable privileged-access request and approval workflows directly into Microsoft Teams. Powered by Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) and Commander Service Mode, the app supports five core workflows — record and folder access requests with time-limited access and automatic credential rotation, one-time self-destructing shares, Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager (KEPM) approvals, SSO Cloud device approvals, and self-service secret creation (with Nested Shared Folder support). Deployed via Docker alongside Commander Service Mode on the customer’s infrastructure, the integration preserves Keeper’s zero-knowledge cryptography while surfacing approvals inside Teams. Keeper positions the release as reducing friction that drives insecure workarounds and as part of a broader ecosystem that already includes integrations with Jira, ServiceNow and Slack. Publication date: 2026-06-25.
Chrome modernizes web authentication with passkeys, EVP
At Google I/O 2026, the Chrome team published guidance and platform updates to modernize web authentication, emphasizing passkeys, federated sign-up, and browser-mediated verified attributes. Key technical features covered include the FedCM API for identity federation, the experimental Email Verification Protocol (EVP) for seamless verified email claims, the Digital Credentials API for selective disclosure from wallets, Immediate UI Mode (shipped in Chrome 149) and passkey autofill/conditional create for zero-friction enrollment, and Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) to tie sessions to hardware (experimental on Windows). The post describes patterns (e.g., "federate-then-upgrade"), cross-platform credential sharing (Digital Asset Links and Related Origin Requests), and recovery strategies, and cites case studies (pixiv, adidas) showing improved login success and passkey adoption.
Keeper Security Launches KeeperDB: Zero-Trust Database Access Revolution
Keeper Security announced KeeperDB, a new vault-embedded database access capability that integrates zero-trust, policy-controlled database sessions directly into the Keeper Vault (part of KeeperPAM). KeeperDB, slated for official launch at RSA Conference 2026, lets users initiate GUI or CLI database sessions from a Vault record with centralized policy enforcement, full session recording, and credential protection. Initial database support includes MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. KeeperDB will be paired with a KeeperDB Proxy to enable secure connections for teams that continue using existing database clients, and future availability details will align with upcoming Keeper Gateway and Keeper Vault releases.
