This is the legacy version of the Safari extension. See the latest Safari extension release notes here.

As of version 16.5.0, the standalone Swift-based Safari extension is deprecated and will be part of the shared code base with Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

When the browser extension 16.5.0 goes live (ETA May 20, 2023), please remove the Safari extension and install the latest version from the Keeper website.

Bug Fixes, Improvements and Other Changes

The Safari extension provides the same bug fixes and updates as referenced in the Keeper Browser Extension v16.0.0 release for Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers.

Safari Extension version 15.2.0 is functionally equivalent with the Browser Extension release 15.3.0 forward. In Safari, this will show as version 16.1.0 due to the version scheme requirements of Apple.

Accessibility (508 Compliance)

• Keeper has been making UI changes across all web-applications and browser extensions to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d). The Keeper browser extension now supports keyboard navigation and it's compatible with popular screen readers and other assistive technology.

Persistent Search Bar

The vault search bar is always visible, and the search logic matches the Web Vault and Desktop App algorithm exactly. Therefore, the same search can be applied in both platforms. Users can search for a website login or any other piece of other information stored in their Keeper vault by simply opening the extension and entering their search criteria. The search feature is case insensitive and will match any record within your vault as you type, even partial words. The search results can also be sorted by name and date.

Password Generator

Keeper's password generator is now within easy reach in the extension toolbar landing screen. Users can generate and copy the secure password or use it to create a new record directly from the main screen.

Matching Records

The new "Matching Records" screen will now appear in the extension toolbar window.

Clicking the copy icon next to a record gives you the option to quickly copy the username and password or you can autofill the record by clicking the fill button. If there are many record matches, users can enter search terms to narrow down the results and even sort them by name or date.

Autofill & Auto Submit Setting at the Record-Level

The Autofill and Auto Submit settings can be enabled or disabled for individual records from both the extension toolbar and fill window.

Important Notes:

• This setting will override the global Auto Submit setting.

• If you have multiple records that match the same website, Keeper will not auto-fill and you will be prompted to select the record to fill. When there are multiple matches to a domain, you must click "Fill" to prevent undesirable behavior.

Search for Matching Records by Domain

From the on-page fill window, users can filter on all records matching the current site's domain name. This is helpful for sites with many stored records.

New Features & Improvements

• Support for AU Data Center - Keeper now supports an AU data center. Users have the option to select "AU" from the region selector at login in the KeeperFill toolbar.

• Privacy Screen - Admins now have the ability to control the viewing (unmasking) of passwords based on a specified domain. This policy is enforceable by the Admin for individual domains within each of their Generated Password Complexity settings by enabling "Apply Privacy Screen".

• Master Password Re-entry Enforcement - This role enforcement allows Admins to require their users to re-enter their Master Password in order to unmask or copy a password. Once unmasked, the password will be re-masked after 30 seconds have passed.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: User is prompted to re-enter their master password twice when attempting to edit a record.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: The "Open in Vault" action located in the the record detail view of the Safari extension, incorrectly directs users to the desktop app instead of the Web Vault.

• Fixed: User email addresses are not saving in the Safari extension when they log into Keeper through the Web Vault.

• Fixed: The Safari extension "Create an Account" button is unresponsive and fails to direct the user to the Keeper Desktop App.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Accounts with Smartwatch (Keeper DNA) activated for 2FA (Two-factor authentication) experience a continuous reset of the browser extension when user denies the initial push request. This causes endless push notifications to occur until user accepts.

• Fixed: Infinite loop occurs when autofilling an Instagram record containing an authenticator app's 2FA code (two-factor authentication).

• Fixed: When logging into their web vault, users are not also automatically logged into the Safari browser extension as expected, and vice versa (EU accounts).

  • Only records that match the subdomain of the page visited will be populated into the in-page extension window upon log in.

  • Alternatively, if no records exist for the subdomain of the page visited but they do for the domain, the in-page extension window will populate all of the existing records containing that domain.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed: Once configured, custom hotkeys for KeeperFill are not functioning properly when user closes and reopens app.

• Fixed: Desktop version does not retain the device token for two-factor authentication if a Web Vault enforcement is set (Enterprise customers).

• Fixed: Issues regarding Touch ID, including the added visibility of a prompt to initiate Touch ID at the login screen.

Features & Benefits

• Search from Toolbar The Safari extension now provides search and Autofill capabilities from the Toolbar menu.

• Location of Popups Based on customer feedback, we have moved the "Prompt to Save", "Prompt to Fill", "Prompt to Change" and "Prompt to Login" dialogs to the top right section of the web browser window, instead of obstructing the view over the login form.
