This Quick Start Guide will walk you through the set up steps and main features of the Keeper iOS App, linking additional resources throughout for more detailed instructions.
Set Up Steps
Here we've covered the important set up steps and key features that will help get you up and running with Keeper in no time.
Import Your Passwords
Save time and seamlessly migrate your existing logins from browsers, files and other password managers. Navigate to the Keeper Web Vault or download the Keeper Desktop App and log in to begin an import then return to your iOS device. If you don't have any existing passwords saved or if you would rather start fresh, you can skip this step.
Enable Security, Login and Recovery Features
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA), Account Recovery and Face ID.
Now it's time to create your first record and organize your vault into folders and subfolders.
Enable KeeperFill to Autofill Your Passwords
Autofill your logins and passwords across your devices with KeeperFill which is fully integrated into the login experience of every website and app on your iOS device.
Now that you are up and running, its time to explore all the other features Keeper has to offer.
Create Your Account & Log In
Signing up for Keeper's iOS mobile app is easy. Simply visit the App 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!
Next, you will be asked to verify your email address by entering the security verification code that was sent to your email. Once verified, you will enter your Master Password and log in.
Set Up Account Recovery
If you forget your Master Password, Account Recovery will help you quickly regain access.
Tap Account Recovery from the Settings menu.
Confirm your Master Password and tap Generate New Phrase.
Once your recovery phrase has been generated, be sure to store it in a safe place. For added convenience, you will be given the option to copy or download it.
Check the box to confirm that you've stored your Recovery Phrase.
Tap Set Recovery Phrase.
