Keeper Security has launched SuperShell, a full-screen Terminal User Interface (TUI) for navigating and managing the Keeper Vault through Keeper Commander. Keeper Commander is an open-source Command Line Interface (CLI), scripting tool, and Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows users to interact with the Keeper platform. It provides automation and control over the Keeper Vault and KeeperPAM, the organization’s control plane and identity security platform for humans, machines, Non-Human Identities (NHIs), and AI agents.
Available in Keeper Commander version 17.2.7 and newer, SuperShell gives developers, security engineers and IT administrators a faster, keyboard-driven way to work with their vault directly from the terminal. It introduces a modern, terminal-native experience that allows users to securely access and manage vault data without leaving the command line.
Designed for power users working in SSH sessions or standard system terminals, the interface prioritizes speed and efficiency, enabling navigation and search entirely from the keyboard. The full-screen layout presents the vault in a simple split view, with folders and records on the left and detailed information on the right. A persistent top bar provides search and contextual account information, helping users stay oriented as they move through large or complex vaults.
“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.”
Navigation in SuperShell follows familiar vi-style keyboard conventions, making it easy to move quickly through folders and records, switch between panes, search the vault and run automation CLI commands. Users can view records in a standard detail format or switch to a raw JSON view when deeper inspection is needed. Sensitive fields are masked by default, with the option to reveal values on demand. For records configured with two-factor authentication, SuperShell displays the current Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) along with a live countdown indicator.
To support secure, efficient workflows, SuperShell will be expanded to include KeeperPAM features such as remote access connections, tunnels, discovery or rotations. By bringing a full-screen, terminal-first interface to Keeper Commander, SuperShell gives technical users a faster, more natural way to interact with their vault while preserving Keeper’s zero-trust and zero-knowledge security model.
