Web Vault & Desktop App

This Quick Start Guide will walk you through the setup steps and main features of Keeper for Web Vault & Desktop App, linking additional user guides throughout for a more detailed look.

Getting Started

This section will walk you through a few important setup steps that will help get you started and ensure you are up and running with Keeper in no time.

Account Creation

To create your Keeper account, first enter your email address then you will be asked to create and confirm a Master Password which will be the only password you have to remember. We recommend that you choose a strong Master Password that is only used for Keeper -- don't forget your Master Password!

To finalize your account and proceed to your vault, you will be asked to enter the security verification code that was sent to your email.

Create Your Keeper Account

Set Your Master Password

Upon logging in, you will be prompted to follow our Get Started wizard, which will guide you to import your passwords, install the KeeperFill Browser Extension and set up Account Recovery.

Import Passwords

To get started, click on your account email in the upper right corner of your vault window, then click Settings > Import.
