Security Report

  • We have added a new security report feature to PureKeep to help improve your security. By conducting a security review, you can ensure that your account and data are safe and secure. It will show you the following information:

Weak Passwords:

  • Passwords are considered weak if they're too short, don't have a lot of variation or contain commonly used words or phrases. These passwords generally don't offer enough protection against automated guessing attempts and should be replaced with strong, randomly generated passwords.

Reused Passwords:

  • Using the same password in multiple places is strongly discouraged as a data leak in one of those places will automatically compromise all other accounts/logins using the same password. We recommend generating strong, random and unique passwords for every single vault item.

Expired Items:

  • Expired items are those that have been identified as being past their set expiry date, which haven't been updated in a given number of days. These items should be rotated as soon as possible.

Compromised Passwords:

  • Compromised passwords are those that have been identified as having been leaked in the past by comparing them against a database of known data breaches. These passwords can no longer be considered secure and should be changed immediately.
