Rather than traditional 2FA that only authenticates at one point in time, GateKeeper continues to authenticate even after the user is logged in. This way, there is truly 100% security 24/7.
Pro No passwords to type
Typing passwords sucks and this device makes it so you don't have to remember any passwords.
Pro Faster EHR login!
No complicated 2fa or extra steps. I login to my workstation and the passwords all auto-fill on websites and available for on-premise EHR.
Pro Password manager for computers and applications
Not just for websites, but get into your computer and software applications too.
Pro Automatic authentication
Doesn't rely on the user typing a password or an OTP code - works with presence.
Pro RDP and Thin Clients
When you login to an RDP session, the Gatekeeper key pushes your passwords through so you can use them with thin clients.
Pro Best customer service!
There's always something that we need help with and gatekeeper is always there to save us. Best customer service, ever. They dont treat you different for being a smaller client.
Pro Audit reports
No more wondering which employee logged into which workstation when.
Pro Touch to login
Using a key to touch the computer to login is so much easier than memorizing different passwords.

Really fast login, so if you have a annoying timeout policy, gatekeeper keeps you logged in as long as you're still there.
Cons
Con Dated UI
Difficult to use for new users.
Con No official browser integration
No browser plugins available.
Con Apart from automations, it's no better than Keepass
Put a key file to a small pendrive and you're set. At least with Keepass you can sync the database and key file to reduce the effect of human errors.
