Keeper Security has introduced SuperShell, a full-screen Terminal User Interface (TUI) that allows users to browse and manage the Keeper Vault directly inside Keeper Commander. With this launch, the company continues to strengthen its zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) capabilities while giving technical users faster and more efficient ways to work within secure environments.
SuperShell is now available in Keeper Commander version 17.2.7 and later. Because modern security and development teams increasingly rely on automation and terminal-based workflows, Keeper designed this feature to deliver a keyboard-first, command-line-native experience. As a result, developers, security engineers, and IT administrators can securely access and control vault data without switching between multiple interfaces.

Keeper Commander itself serves as an open-source Command Line Interface (CLI), scripting platform, and Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows organizations to automate and manage vault operations. In addition, it supports KeeperPAM, which functions as a centralized control plane and identity security platform. This platform protects human users, machines, Non-Human Identities (NHIs), and even AI agents operating within enterprise environments.
Moreover, SuperShell focuses heavily on performance and usability. Since many power users work inside SSH sessions or standard system terminals, the interface prioritizes speed and efficiency. Users can navigate, search, and manage vault content entirely through keyboard commands. The interface uses a split-screen layout, showing folders and records on the left while displaying detailed record information on the right. At the same time, a persistent top navigation bar provides search functionality and contextual account details, helping users maintain visibility when working with complex vault structures.
“The rise of terminal-first tools like Claude Code and Cursor Agent shows how modern engineering teams want to work – fast, focused and automation-driven,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “SuperShell is our answer to that shift. We’re meeting customers where they already operate and embedding zero-trust security directly into their daily workflows, without asking them to compromise on usability or speed.”

Additionally, SuperShell uses familiar vi-style keyboard navigation, allowing users to quickly move through folders, switch interface panels, run CLI automation commands, and search records. Users can choose between standard record detail views or raw JSON formats when deeper analysis is required. Furthermore, the platform automatically masks sensitive data fields but allows authorized users to reveal them when necessary. For accounts configured with two-factor authentication, the system also displays active Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) along with a live countdown timer.
Looking ahead, Keeper plans to expand SuperShell capabilities by integrating additional KeeperPAM features. These future updates are expected to include remote access connections, secure tunneling, asset discovery, and automated credential rotation. Therefore, organizations will gain more centralized control over privileged access workflows while maintaining strong security standards.
By introducing SuperShell, Keeper is addressing the growing demand for terminal-native security tools. Ultimately, the solution allows technical teams to work faster and more naturally within their existing environments while preserving the company’s core zero-trust and zero-knowledge security architecture.
