There are a few set-up steps on both your Android device and desktop computer we recommend that you complete first to help you get up and running with Keeper in no time.
Signing up for Keeper's Android mobile app is easy. Simply visit the store on your device and install Keeper Password Manager.
Once the download is complete, enter your email address. If you are not an existing user, you will be asked to create a Master Password which will be the only password you need to remember. We recommend that you choose a strong Master Password that is only used for Keeper -- don't forget your Master Password!
Tap the menu icon then tap Settings and toggle Two-Factor Authentication on.
On Android Oreo (8.0) and newer, our KeeperFill feature seamlessly autofills your logins and passwords into apps and web browsers. Use KeeperFill to quickly create and autofill passwords into web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox as well as all other 3rd Party Applications.

Toggle KeeperFill on.
You will then be prompted to enable various settings on your device, including:

To make the most out of the Keeper Mobile App and ensure that your device's built-in password saving feature doesn't interfere with KeeperFill's autofill capabilities, we recommend that you only allow filling from Keeper.
When you first login to you vault, Keeper will give you the opportunity to import passwords from your computer and/or web browsers (If you're not near a desktop computer, you can perform the import at a later time).
You can either manually enter your existing logins and passwords into your vault or Keeper can import existing passwords directly from your web browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox), another password manager, or from a text file (.csv).
To get started click your Account Dropdown Menu, then click Settings > Import.
