Notification Center

The notification center consolidates important in-app messages for the Keeper platform

Overview

The Notification Center is a secure, in-app hub in the Vault where you can view and manage important account, security, and product updates - without relying solely on email. Notifications appear directly in the Vault and can also be delivered through native OS or browser notifications. Clicking a native notification will take you straight to the corresponding notification in the Vault.

After logging into the Vault, you’ll see a bell icon in the upper-right corner next to your profile. This is your Notification Center. The bell also shows how many unread notifications you have at a glance.

Inside the Notification Center, you can filter notifications and respond to actionable events such as device approvals and sharing requests. Next to each notification’s timestamp, you’ll see a small dot—clicking this dot marks the notification as read. You can also use the overflow menu (three dots) on each notification to mark it as read.

Features

With Notification Center, you can receive and review key alerts directly inside Keeper, including:

  • Security alerts – Suspicious login attempts, account setting changes, and other security-related events.

  • Subscription reminders – Upcoming renewals and expired payment methods so you can act quickly.

  • Product and growth updates – In-app promotions and product announcements that don’t interrupt your workflow.

  • Access requests – Requests to access shared records or files, with quick paths to approve or deny.

  • Device management alerts – Notifications about new device logins and reminders to review active device sessions.

  • Master Password notifications – Reminders to update your master password or confirm password reset activity.

  • Record reminders – Alerts for time-sensitive items such as expiring passwords or access keys.

  • PAM workflow notifications – Updates about PAM approvals, check-in/check-out status, access control requests, and automatic credential rotation events.

The Notification Center keeps all of these updates in one place, making it easier to stay aware of what’s happening with your account and resources.


Setup

On desktop and mobile devices, you may get asked to approve system notifications upon accessing the Keeper vault for the first time. Click "Allow" to receive the notifications at the system level.

If you clicked Block by accident, you can re-enable this from your system settings. In order for system notifications to appear, you may need to enable them in 3 places: the website permission, browser notification permissions, and your OS/app notification settings.
