Keeper has also launched a zero-trust Password Rotation feature with KeeperPAM. This new capability is recommended for most password rotation use cases. The Documentation is linked below:
Commander
This plugin allows rotating a local user's password using the Unix passwd
command.
Rotation supports legacy and typed records. If using typed record, a 'Login' type field is required. Additional fields may be added depending on the rotation type as well. See the instructions below.
Populate the 'Login' field of the Keeper record with the login to use with this rotation.
The following values can customize rotation parameters. Add these options to a record as text fields and set the label to correspond to the parameter as shown in the table.

cmdr:rules
# uppercase, # lowercase, # numeric, # special'
(e.g. 4,6,3,8)
(Optional) Password generation rules
To rotate Unix passwords, use the rotate
command in Commander. Pass the command a record title or UID (or use --match
with a regular expression to rotate several records at once)
After rotation is completed, the new password will be stored in the Password
field of the record
