It is both an administrator automation tool and a developer integration surface for vault, enterprise, import/export, reporting, Secrets Manager, and KeeperPAM workflows. ### Project history The Commander repository was created on 2015-09-01. Its README describes a Python-based CLI and SDK that provides administrative controls, reporting, import/export, and vault management for the Keeper Security platform. Older tags show the project was versioned before GitHub Releases became the main release surface; a v1.0 tag points at a 2018-07-27 version-increment commit. By 2021, the release stream had reached the v4.x line and then the v16.x line, with release names such as v16.1.1 noting Record Types and Secrets Manager. In 2024 and later release notes, Commander continued to add enterprise and platform-administration features, including service-mode hardening, non-human identity reporting, OS-native keychain storage, and config-location changes. ### Adoption history Keeper Commander is adopted by Keeper customers and administrators who need scriptable access to Keeper vault and enterprise features. Official Keeper documentation presents it as a way to automate many Keeper functions, including user and team provisioning, vault access, reports, imports, exports, PAM workflows, and SDK-based integrations. Package-manager support across Homebrew, Chocolatey, and winget reflects its cross-platform administrative role: teams need the `keeper` command available on macOS, Windows, and automation hosts without hand-building from source. ### How it is used Users install Commander as a binary, from source, or through Python packaging, then run `keeper` interactively, in shell mode, as a terminal vault UI, from scripts, or as a REST service. It stores login/configuration state in a Keeper config file and can be used for both personal vault operations and organization-wide administrative automation. ### Why package nerds care Keeper Commander is package-nerdy because it turns a hosted password-management platform into a local CLI surface with a long release train and multiple install channels. It is also an example of a security product exposing its operational model through an open-source command package rather than only through a web console. ### Timeline - 2015-09-01: GitHub repository created. - 2018-07-27: The v1.0 tag points to a version-increment commit. - 2021-05-04: GitHub Releases include v4.80. - 2021-08-10: v16.1.1 release named Record Types and Secrets Manager. - 2024-02-26: v16.10.5 was published. - 2026-05-26: v18.0.4 release notes included service-mode hardening and an OS-standard config-location change. - 2026-06-23: v18.0.9 was published. ### Related projects - Keeper Commander is related to Keeper Password Manager, KeeperPAM, Keeper Secrets Manager, Keeper's .NET and PowerShell Commander implementation, enterprise provisioning workflows, and package-manager manifests for Homebrew, Chocolatey, and winget. ### Sources - - - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for keeper-commander.
