# Web Vault & Desktop App

## Your Keeper Vault <a href="#your-keeper-vault" id="your-keeper-vault"></a>

With Keeper, your passwords, logins and other personal information are saved in a private, digital vault. It is here where you can view and edit all of your website login credentials and details, as well as store important files and photos.

![Keeper Vault](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FOF3E9M7ev2LyZrua5pBF%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-14%20at%2012.39.13%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=a034366a-d265-47ba-9df8-456376693bc8)

### Device Approvals

Upon logging in, you may encounter a "Device Approval" request. If you are attempting to log in on an unrecognized device or browser, a device approval must take place before you can proceed to your Keeper Vault. Users have three methods of approval to choose from: **Email**, **Keeper Push** or **Two-Factor Method**.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Keeper Push** is Keeper’s proprietary notification-based device approval system that sends a push notification to an existing, recognized device.
{% endhint %}

If you select **Keeper Push**, a notification (push) will be appear in your Keeper Vault on an approved device or browser.

![Device Approval Options](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2Fqx39YgDTQDlNt0et7Sx9%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-14%20at%2012.51.05%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=5ed3eeb4-bc78-44a4-a01e-380e686414eb)

Select **Yes** to approve the new device.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must be actively logged into a different, recognized/approved device to receive the notification.
{% endhint %}

![Device Approval Request](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FXxZlpySWsHNGB3XMMJHR%2FPush%20Notification.jpeg?alt=media\&token=80e87713-9a33-41cc-b1e7-7dbc7104de91)

Once your device has been approved, you will be prompted for 2FA (if enabled), then you can enter your Master Password to proceed to your vault.

## New User 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Enterprise users who login with SSO do not require the selection of a Master Password.
{% endhint %}

## Importing Passwords

Keeper makes it easy import your existing logins and passwords directly from your web browsers (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox), another password manager, or from a text file (.csv, .xls, .tsv). Watch the video below or continue reading to learn how.

{% embed url="<https://vimeo.com/1158911270?fe=ci&fl=cl&share=copy>" %}
Import Your Passwords With Keeper
{% endembed %}

![Import Screen](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FG7TMOPwU0pKkhzl5lhmN%2FSettings%20\(6\).png?alt=media\&token=30782be7-8956-4f2c-8e88-9b55329174c9)

### From Web Browsers

To import passwords from your web browser, you must first install the Keeper Import Tool. To begin the installation, from the Account Dropdown Menu, click **Settings > Import > Import** (next to "From a Browser") **> Install**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have started the import process from a mobile app and came to the Web Vault, you will be prompted to import your existing passwords, click **Next > Install.**
{% endhint %}

![Install the Keeper Import Tool](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FcBFgooe5bypx0LBxm1iC%2FSettings%20\(7\).png?alt=media\&token=994a0967-bcc3-4b44-a7ad-15aca8dc2a12)

Keeper will then walk you through a few steps to download the Keeper Import Tool:

1. Copy the code Keeper provides (you will need this later when prompted in the Keeper Importer).
2. For **PC**: click **Run** when prompted.
3. For **Mac**: double click the "KeeperImport.zip" file located in your downloads and double click on the "Keeper Import App" to start the import process. You will encounter a few Keychain permission windows that will require you to enter your computer password to allow Keeper to access your web browsers.
4. Keeper will then ask for the code you received from step one; paste the code and click **Import**. Keeper will then import your credentials across all of your web browsers at once.
5. Skip to our [Field Mapping instructions](#field-mapping) below to finalize your import details.

![Copy Import Code](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2F6oA8nwkXY1m9ZRFCZxtc%2FDownload%20Modal.png?alt=media\&token=183c6e5e-ae27-4c58-8352-156fd36c94d3)

### From Password Managers

Keeper can quickly import your logins and passwords from other password managers. From the Account Dropdown Menu, click **Settings > Import > Import** (next to "Use Another Source").

From the dropdown menu, select the password manager you want to import from, then click **View Instructions** which will involve logging into the password manager and exporting your existing password records. If an automated import using the Keeper Desktop App is available for your selected password manager, additional instructions will be provided.

![Select Password Manager Source](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FDnmekbZcH6C67NcnG79Q%2FText%20file%20\(3\).png?alt=media\&token=b454d9e8-be56-41d7-98bd-fdb2b58291ba)

Once you have created the export file per the instructions, drag-and-drop the file onto Keeper's "Drop a File Here" window or browse for the file on your computer and click **Next**. Skip to our [Field Mapping instructions](#field-mapping) below to finalize your import details.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Confirm the export file has the correct extension at the end of the file name (e.g. export.csv).
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FCUVIfzBPObje0FGJjlaI%2FUpload%20a%20file%20and%20confirm.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5e0df032-865e-4834-bd63-de929c50f8fe" alt=""><figcaption><p>Drop or Browse for Exported File</p></figcaption></figure>

### From Text Files (.csv, .xls, .tsv)

Keeper can import your logins and passwords from a text file (.csv). To begin, from the Account Dropdown Menu, click **Settings > Import > Import** (next to "Use Another Source").

From the dropdown menu, select **Text File (.csv, .xls, .tsv)**, then click **View Instructions**. Keeper's CSV import method supports advanced structure including folders, subfolders, shared folders, TOTP codes and any number of custom fields.

Once you have created the export file per the instructions, drag-and-drop the file onto Keeper's "Drop a File Here" window or browse for the file on your computer.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2F6daXwzAxC8nbj075LW0g%2FText%20File%20(4).png?alt=media&#x26;token=ea392533-e610-4d1c-9ab3-bdd8db1db84f" alt=""><figcaption><p>Import from Text File</p></figcaption></figure>

Check the box if your file includes column headers, otherwise, the first row will be treated as data and click **Next.** Skip to our [Field Mapping instructions](#field-mapping) below to finalize your import details.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FeSi4I97w2c0BQ53fvoCJ%2FUpload%20a%20file%20confirmation%20(2).png?alt=media&#x26;token=9e950a00-fd66-48f4-ab50-b07bbbb25fb1" alt=""><figcaption><p>File Uploaded</p></figcaption></figure>

**File Format Examples**

```
Folder,Title,Login,Password,Website Address,Notes,Shared Folder,Custom Fields
```

• To specify subfolders, use backslash "\\" between folder names

• To make a Shared Folder specify the name or path to it in the 7th field

**Example 1: Create a regular folder at the root level with 2 custom fields**

```
My Business Stuff,Twitter,marketing@company.com,123456,https://twitter.com,These are some notes,,API Key,5555,Date Created,2018-04-02
```

**Example 2: Create a shared subfolder inside another folder with edit and re-share permission**

```
Personal,Twitter,craig@gmail.com,123456,https://twitter.com,,Social Media#edit#reshare
```

Keeper also supports advanced JSON structured file formats. We recommend using JSON files for import and export of structured data instead of CSV files. This is described in the [JSON Import page.](https://docs.keeper.io/en/user-guides/import-records-1/import-json)

{% hint style="info" %}
See the full instructions and file format of our CSV import [here](https://docs.keeper.io/en/user-guides/import-records-1/import-a-.csv-file).
{% endhint %}

### Field Mapping

Once you have imported your credentials using one of the methods above, you can customize how you would like the information to appear in your vault in the field mapping screen. Here you'll see standard field names across the top that “map” to the data below for each Keeper record.

To adjust these mappings:

1. Click any field to open a dropdown menu
2. Select the appropriate field name from the list. Repeat this process across each column as needed
3. Click **Next** to finalize your selections.

{% hint style="info" %}
Change the title of each column to accurately represent the information below (e.g. If you see a column of URLs and the column title says "Notes", change that column title to "URL").
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2Fy4bbjR8UIWXoyVuZrtnw%2FReview%20upload%20(1).png?alt=media&#x26;token=e266680b-0bd2-46f1-8730-19da78913ad5" alt=""><figcaption><p>Review &#x26; Edit the Imported Information</p></figcaption></figure>

Next, a summary screen will display a preview of your vault, showing the folder structure of your imported records. Here you can adjust the folder structure and click into individual records to preview their details before finalizing the import.

Click **Confirm Import** to complete the import process.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2Fr2rR0ortV1ZS3esx0Yu4%2FReview%20upload%20(3).png?alt=media&#x26;token=5659ce5c-83c3-4bdb-8b1f-a67705050a55" alt=""><figcaption><p>Summary of Import</p></figcaption></figure>

Once the import is complete, we highly recommend that you delete any unencrypted password files from your computer and disable any old password managers.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FCBrQcou8GweuB12oofTi%2FUpload%20a%20file%20confirmation%20(1).png?alt=media&#x26;token=9f1ea266-1d65-4fef-bcb6-42445c12f4d2" alt=""><figcaption><p>Successful Import</p></figcaption></figure>

## Key Features

### Password Generator

Long, random passwords that are created for each login help protect your information and reduce your exposure to data breaches. Keeper generates and securely stores strong, random passwords for all of your sites and apps by clicking on the **dice icon**. The default password length for generated passwords is 20 characters. The length slider can be used to generate longer or shorter passwords for specific sites.

![Password/Passphrase Generator](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FiAaz5XnFOpiUvoQATvx9%2FScreen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%2012.25.01%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=f2e444f0-48d9-4463-bc00-c09dd0d7c4e8)

#### Character Sets Used for Password Generation

| Lowercase Letters          | Uppercase Letters      | Digits     | Symbols               |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------- | --------------------- |
| abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV | 0123456789 | !@#$%()+;<>=?\[]{}^., |

### Passphrase Generator

Similar to Keeper's password generator, a click of the **dice** will generate a highly secure, random, yet easy-to-remember passphrase for any of your accounts stored in Keeper. By combining multiple words, passphrases are a more secure alternative to passwords.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FVQWCQ72kpwDtuHkZw9WG%2FScreen%20Shot%202024-03-27%20at%2010.18.08%20AM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=eec76323-b1ff-4e48-866b-67245f7b3da2" alt=""><figcaption><p>Password/Passphrase Generator</p></figcaption></figure>

In order for the recipient to accept the request, you must first establish a "sharing" relationship if one hasn't already been established through Keeper's record/folder sharing features.

If prompted, click **Send Invite**.

If the recipient is not an existing Keeper user, they will receive an email inviting them to sign up for a Keeper account. Once they sign up and login to their account, they can accept the sharing relationship request.

Once the recipient accepts your sharing request, you will need to invite them to be your emergency contact once more from the “Emergency Access” section of your vault. This step is not necessary if a sharing relationship has previously been established.

### Shared Item Recovery

Recently deleted shared records from within shared folders can be recovered from the tab called "**Shared Folder Contents**". This tab contains records that were deleted by a user of the shared folder with "Can manage records" permission. Records which appear in this tab are able to be restored from any user who currently has access to the shared folder. This feature was created to make the restore process accessible from any shared folder participant when a record has been removed by any team member.

For security reasons, if a change was made to the record after it was removed from the shared folder, it cannot be restored and the original owner must re-share it.
{% endhint %}

Storing two-factor codes in your vault has several advantages:

* Keeper two-factor codes are more secure than using SMS text messages.
* Two-factor codes stored in Keeper are protected with strong Zero-Knowledge encryption.
* Codes can be auto-filled quickly while logging in to a site, saving time and reducing friction.
* Keeper records are securely backed up so if you lose a device you don’t have to reset all the codes.
* Since Keeper records are shareable, two-factor codes are always available to everyone who has access to the record.

## Secure Add-Ons

### Secure File Storage

Keeper offers Secure File Storage to protect your confidential files, photos and videos. Securely upload and store files such as passport photos, medical cards, drivers licenses, tax and loan documents, videos and any other private file to your Keeper vault.

{% hint style="info" %}
Files can either be added to an existing record or you can create a new record to store the file independently of other login information.
{% endhint %}

Click **Files or Photos** to upload a file, or simply drag-and-drop the file directly into your Vault.

![Files or Photos](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FVgoip4VwavpTRBUD3zQ6%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-13%20at%2011.58.43%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=fb727b07-4a0e-411a-a5c0-e45e78d34159)

### BreachWatch

BreachWatch is a powerful secure add-on feature that monitors the internet and dark web for breached accounts matching records stored within your Keeper Vault. BreachWatch alerts you so that you can take immediate action to protect yourself against hackers. Once activated, BreachWatch continuously monitors for compromised credentials and notifies you if any of your records are at risk.

To start your BreachWatch scan, from the left navigation menu, click **BreachWatch > Let's Begin**.

![BreachWatch](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2F6WxHziyEcESe6Gi1QGC5%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-28%20at%2012.17.59%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=86ef6c18-7853-4211-a00e-bc0270476088)

BreachWatch will then scan your records and report any risks associated with them. Clicking each record listed will allow you view the steps needed to resolve each risk.

Resolving the risk requires you to change the password at the affected website. Once you have done that, be sure to update the corresponding record in your Keeper Vault with the same password.

![](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FtL80ZSesRxHemq6eCx5k%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-28%20at%2012.29.31%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=6a26ee44-200b-41c6-a974-7d8e64560ae7)

If you click **Ignore**, then that record will be skipped on future scans until the password is reset. You may also do nothing (deferring a response) and leave the risky password unchanged and thus still at risk.

## Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides an extra layer of security when logging into your Keeper Vault or another site or application by requiring a secondary passcode upon logging in.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication is advised for highly valuable or sensitive accounts (e.g. banking, medical and social media accounts).
{% endhint %}

Keeper provides two ways to take advantage of 2FA:

* To log into your Keeper Vault.
* To login into any site or application from your Keeper Vault by embedding a Two-Factor code into your records.

### 2FA for Your Keeper Vault

To enable 2FA for your Keeper vault, from the Account Dropdown Menu, click **Settings > Security**, toggle **"**&#x54;wo-Factor Authentication" on and select your 2FA method.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FmHYiuYTEmjmo1G0gDrFr%2FScreenshot%202024-01-18%20at%205.37.19%E2%80%AFPM.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=f96d2654-85e0-423b-80b7-001c5fa83468" alt=""><figcaption><p>Two-Factor Authentication</p></figcaption></figure>

Keeper support several methods of Two-Factor Authentication:

* Text Message (SMS)
* Authenticator App (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc)
* RSA SecurID (for Enterprise customers)
* Duo Security (for Enterprise customers)
* Keeper DNA (using Apple Watch or Android Wear devices)
* FIDO2 Security Keys (or device passkeys)

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FPKCQT4ihPEyZgjcU4GIM%2FScreenshot%202024-01-18%20at%205.39.01%E2%80%AFPM.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=f43f8e4d-c63b-4f40-9e21-9be771ff775f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **Text Message Setup**

(1) The Text Message toggle is on by default. Select a **Region** from the dropdown (US+1 by default), enter your **10 digit phone number including your area code** and click **Next**.

(2) To verify that you trust this number and device, **enter the Keeper web code** that was sent to the phone number you provided. Select your 2FA code duration from the dropdown menu and click **Next**. Codes will only last for a minute; if you need another code sent, click **Send a new code**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You will be prompted for 2FA every time you login to your Vault unless you select an alternative code duration. Business customers may be required to enter the code every login as determined by their Keeper Administrator.
{% endhint %}

![Enter Verification Code](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FUrZIVSGGoHYagka82CTZ%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-05-01%20at%2011.23.05%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=8d175c5d-f1e1-4e22-8fb5-03ccaae181a4)

(3) Backup codes will be shown next. If you are unable to receive Two-Factor codes via the phone number you entered, you can enter one of the codes listed instead. Click **I have written these codes down** to finish.

If you are NOT receiving SMS messages from Keeper, please use the TOTP method.

#### Authenticator App (TOTP) Setup:

(1) Toggle "**Authenticator App**" on and click **Next**.

(2) Using the device that runs the the TOTP application, **scan the QR code** provided or manually enter the secret key. The app will then acknowledge the QR code and produce a verification code.

(3) **Enter that verification code** and click **Next**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You will be prompted for 2FA every time you login to your Vault unless you select an alternative code duration. Business customers may be required to enter the code every login as determined by their Keeper Administrator.
{% endhint %}

(4) Backup codes will be shown next. If you are ever unable to receive Two-Factor codes, you can enter one of the codes listed instead. Click **I have written these codes down** to finish.

{% hint style="info" %}
In order for Azure MFA (using the Microsoft Authenticator app.) to be utilized as a TOTP, the Azure administrator needs to allow the verification method "Verification code from mobile app or hardware token" when setting up MFA in Azure.
{% endhint %}

#### KeeperDNA Setup:

Keeper DNA is a Two-Factor Authentication method that uses your smart watch as your second factor.

To use this feature, toggle the switch next to Keeper DNA, then follow these links to set up KeeperDNA on your preferred platform:

* [Keeper DNA for iOS and Apple Watch](https://docs.keeper.io/en/user-guides/ios#apple-watch)
* [Keeper DNA for Android and Wear Devices](https://docs.keeper.io/en/user-guides/android#keeper-dna-2fa)

#### Security Key Setup:

Keeper supports any FIDO2-compatible WebAuthn security key, including hardware-based security key devices such as YubiKey and device passkeys on your web browser or operating system. A user can register up to five security keys. Any one of those keys will unlock the account.

1. Go to **Settings > Security** and enable **Two-Factor Authentication** then select **"**&#x53;et Up"
2. Make sure the security key is NOT already inserted into your USB port and click **Next**.
3. Insert the security key into the USB port, name the key and click **Register**.

If you have a PIN associated with your security key, you will be required to enter the PIN when registering your key. If you would like to remove the requirement for PIN entry, this can be done after registration.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2F7ib1oUi9rYNtslK0p4BO%2FScreenshot%202024-01-18%20at%205.39.08%E2%80%AFPM.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=114ecf69-c05c-45f3-b4b4-b28a034fa00b" alt=""><figcaption><p>Security Key Setup</p></figcaption></figure>

#### Security Key with Fallback Method

If you don't always have your security key on hand, or if you are using mobile devices which don't support hardware security keys, you may add additional methods of 2FA such as a TOTP code. When logging into a device, you will then have the option of using either method.

#### Security Key as the Only Factor

For the highest level of protection, you can elect to use Security Keys as the only 2FA method. There are some important things to know about this configuration:

* Support for enforcing a FIDO2 Security Key can vary based on the device operating system and device firmware capabilities.
* Keeper on iOS currently requires using NFC-enabled keys.
* The PIN requirement is supported based on the capabilities of the device. As of this writing, mobile OS support for PIN enforcements is limited. We do not recommend enforcing the PIN if users are accessing Keeper on their mobile device.
* Keeper supports up to 10 security keys on a single account. Any key can be used during the login process.

#### Managing the Security Key PIN Requirement

To manage the entry of PIN every login with a security key, go to Settings > Security > Security Keys > Edit > Edit > and see the "Require PIN if set on security key" setting.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2Fp1ugo4fyLFCSpUM0oeuR%2FScreenshot%202024-01-18%20at%206.51.04%E2%80%AFPM.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=3aa13310-d394-4726-9b21-0ab494e08b03" alt=""><figcaption><p>Require PIN if set on security key</p></figcaption></figure>

### 2FA for **Websites & Apps**

Keeper can protect, manage and store TOTP codes for authenticating into any 3rd party website.

(1) At the target website, visit the two-factor authentication screen which is usually located within security settings. It is sometimes referred to as "login verification" or "two-step verification". Screengrab the QR pattern or copy the secret code to your clipboard.

(2) Within a record, click **Add Two-Factor Code**.

![Add Two-Factor Code](https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FUmSEDYM1SHMTo6qwGbXH%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-13%20at%2012.25.47%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=79f1ce06-603b-4aac-9e67-74b505619d42)

(3) Upload the screengrab of the two-factor QR pattern (with security key) associated with the site or application. If there isn't a QR pattern, use the manual entry method. Enter the code given under “Secret Key”, often a 32-digit code and fill out the rest of the fields.

If you're using Keeper Desktop, you can also use the handy "Scan" feature to automatically capture the code.

<figure><img src="https://914511346-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LSGVtOTYUIkVBoYtFvK%2Fuploads%2FRmPUt73lhJfBmu78jklV%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-04-13%20at%2012.29.03%20PM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=015a6ff1-dd29-48cb-a4b3-bcb404eda268" alt=""><figcaption><p>Upload QR Code or Manual Entry Setup</p></figcaption></figure>

(4) After adding the security key to the record, a two-factor code will be generated inside the Keeper record.

(5) The two-factor code will be regenerated frequently and can then be copied and filled into the site or app when prompted after logging in with a username and password.

On supported Mac devices equipped with the Apple M1 chip, users with [Touch ID Magic Keyboards](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/touch-id-mchl16fbf90a/mac) can use their fingerprint to log in to the Keeper Desktop App.
