## **Create Your Account & Log In**

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!

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.
