# Keepers

The auth module only exposes one keeper, the account keeper, which can be used to read and write accounts.

### Account Keeper <a href="#account-keeper" id="account-keeper"></a>

Presently only one fully-permissioned account keeper is exposed, which has the ability to both read and write all fields of all accounts, and to iterate over all stored accounts.

```go
// AccountKeeperI is the interface contract that x/auth's keeper implements.
type AccountKeeperI interface {
	// Return a new account with the next account number and the specified address. Does not save the new account to the store.
	NewAccountWithAddress(sdk.Context, sdk.AccAddress) types.AccountI

	// Return a new account with the next account number. Does not save the new account to the store.
	NewAccount(sdk.Context, types.AccountI) types.AccountI

	// Check if an account exists in the store.
	HasAccount(sdk.Context, sdk.AccAddress) bool

	// Retrieve an account from the store.
	GetAccount(sdk.Context, sdk.AccAddress) types.AccountI

	// Set an account in the store.
	SetAccount(sdk.Context, types.AccountI)

	// Remove an account from the store.
	RemoveAccount(sdk.Context, types.AccountI)

	// Iterate over all accounts, calling the provided function. Stop iteration when it returns true.
	IterateAccounts(sdk.Context, func(types.AccountI) bool)

	// Fetch the public key of an account at a specified address
	GetPubKey(sdk.Context, sdk.AccAddress) (crypto.PubKey, error)

	// Fetch the sequence of an account at a specified address.
	GetSequence(sdk.Context, sdk.AccAddress) (uint64, error)

	// Fetch the next account number, and increment the internal counter.
	GetNextAccountNumber(sdk.Context) uint64
}
```
