Keeper protects TOTP codes for multi-factor authentication into sites and services.
Records that have a stored Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) for two-factor authentication purposes (2FA) can be filled with KeeperFill.
Two-Factor Codes can also be filled from the right-click context menu.
Here's a video demo of setting up TOTP codes with Twitter:
If you are experiencing an issue where the Two-Factor (TOTP) codes are different between your mobile and desktop devices, this is usually caused by the time difference between your devices.
To resolve, ensure that your device time and date is set to "Automatic". If the times are different by even a few seconds, this will cause different codes to appear on different devices.
This guide reviews how to enable the new Stay Logged In feature and extend your Logout Timer setting.
By default, users are logged out of Keeper if their browser closes, or if their computer restarts. Keeper's "Stay Logged In" feature allows you to instead remain logged into for a configurable duration. Continuing reading to learn how to enable Stay Logged In in the Keeper Web Vault, Desktop App and the KeeperFill Browser Extension.
Sign in to the Keeper Web Vault or Desktop App and click the Account Dropdown Menu (your account email) > Settings > Security and turn "Stay Logged In" on.
Keeper will then recommend that you also enable the "Auto-Logout" setting, to protect your account if you walk away from your device. Also known as the "Inactivity Logout Timer", this automatically logs you out of Keeper after a period of inactivity. You can set this timer to the duration you prefer and it will continue to count down if you close your browser.
If you've downloaded the KeeperFill Browser Extension, you can manage the Auto-Logout setting from the extension's security settings menu (more on this in the section below).
Business customers should note that your Keeper Administrator may disable or limit this feature based on the security settings of your organization.
If you've downloaded the KeeperFill Browser Extension you can enable both the Stay Logged In and Logout Timer features from the extension's security menu.
Click Settings > Security and enable (or disable) "Stay Logged In Between Sessions" and set a "Inactivity Logout Timer".
For security reasons, we recommend setting a reasonable logout timer duration when Stay Logged In is enabled.
Keeper's Stay Logged In feature uses Login API V3. The user's Master Password is NOT stored on the device or computer when using the Stay Logged In feature. Keeper utilizes advanced encryption, session management tokens and device authorization capabilities to protect your vault.

Recommendations for protecting access to your vault
At the foundation, Keeper is an encryption platform with policies and controls in place to protect customer data. In this security model, the customer is also responsible for protecting access to their vault by following recommended security practices. This document outlines key recommendations that will help you secure the data stored within your vault.
For customers who login to Keeper with a Master Password, the key to decrypt and encrypt the Data Key is derived from the Master Password using the password-based key derivation function (PBKDF2), with 1,000,000 iterations by default. All customers who login to the vault are automatically migrated to 1,000,000 iterations.
After the user types their Master Password, the key is derived locally and then unwraps the user's 256-bit AES Data Key. After the Data Key is decrypted, it is used to unwrap the individual 256-bit AES record keys and folder keys. The Record Key then decrypts each of the stored record contents locally.
Keeper implements several mitigations against unauthorized access, device verification, throttling and other protections in the Amazon AWS environment. Enforcing a strong Master Password complexity significantly reduces any risk of offline brute force attack on a user's encrypted vault.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides password guidelines in: Special Publication 800-63B. The guidelines promote a balance between usability and security; Or in other words, passwords should be easy to remember but hard to guess. The NIST instruction recommends an eight character minimum but a higher value will ultimately result in a harder to guess/crack password. Keeper enforces a minimum of 12 character master passwords.
2FA can be added to any consumer or business account. Business customers can enforce the use of 2FA with various levels of control and security options. The 2FA step comes before the Master Password entry. Performing the device verification and 2FA step prior to the Master Password entry phase offers mitigation of several attack vectors including brute force attack, password testing and account enumeration.
To activate Two-Factor Authentication, visit the Settings screen of the Keeper Web App, Desktop App or mobile application.
Keeper also supports FIDO2-compatible WebAuthn hardware-based security key devices such as YubiKey and Google Titan keys as a second factor. Security keys provide a convenient and secure way to perform two-factor authentication.
Access to your email account is a key component in the overall security of your personal information. Ensure that your email account uses a strong auto-generated password created by Keeper. And ensure that you are protecting your email account with multi-factor authentication. Follow the steps provided by your email provider to lock down your account with the most restrictive methods possible.
We recommend that customers protect email accounts using a hardware-based Yubikey or Google Titan key when possible. If this is not available from your email provider, or if you don't own a Yubikey device, the next best thing is using a TOTP code generator.
Keeper supports the ability to store TOTP codes for logging into your email account or other service. To learn more about protecting TOTP codes in your Keeper Vault, click here.
While using SMS as a two-factor authentication setting is better than having nothing at all, we don't recommend relying on SMS due to well documented SIM swapping attacks.
As a general security practice, we recommend that our customers be very cautious with installation of 3rd party browser plugins / browser extensions, such as ad blockers, coupon tools and other "helpful" utilities. Many browser extensions request elevated permissions which have the ability to access any information within any website or browser-based application that you visit. Make sure you fully trust the company who developed the browser extension, and look for their security certifications before you install it.
If you have any other security related questions, feel free to email our team at security@keepersecurity.com.

How to login to Keeper with Touch ID on your Mac
Keeper is compatible with Touch ID on macOS, a biometrics-based technology that allows users to authenticate and log into their device using a fingerprint. If Touch ID is configured on a user's device and enabled in Keeper, this eliminates the requirement for users to use SSO or enter their Master Password at the Keeper login screen, further expediting the login process.
To enable Touch ID, click Account Dropdown Menu > Settings > Security and toggle "Touch ID" on.
If Touch ID is not yet configured on your Mac, you will need to first enable the feature from your device settings. Once you have configured Touch ID , close out of the Settings window and return to your vault to proceed with the steps above.
Next time you log in to Keeper, tap on the Touch ID icon from the login screen. Once authenticated, your vault will be decrypted and you will be automatically logged into Keeper.
By clicking Cancel you will be returned to the login screen to log in with your master password or SSO instead.
Some sites have more than one domain (website address) that require the same exact login/password. If this is the case for any of your records, rather than creating an entirely separate record, Keeper allows you to store multiple website domains within one record.
So no matter what domain you are logging in from, KeeperFill will recognize that domain as an alias and allow you to log in with the same stored credentials.
To store multiple website domains within a single record:
While viewing the record, click Edit.
Click the + Custom Field button.
Select URL from the Custom Field types
In Website Address, enter the site's alternate domain name.
To finish, click Save.
You can continue to repeat this process for additional domain names by clicking the + Custom Field button again.
KeeperFill provides unique features to help you change/rotate passwords on any website.
Login to the site using the KeeperFill browser extension
Visit the site's "Change Password" Page
Follow Keeper's on-screen instructions
