Android - Phone & Tablet
This Quick Start Guide will walk you through the setup steps and main features of Keeper's Android App, linking additional resources throughout for more detailed instructions.
Set Up Steps
Here we'll cover 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 Biometric Login.
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 Android 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 Android mobile app is easy. Simply visit the Google Play store on your device and install Keeper Password Manager. Watch the video below to learn how to create your account and log in on continue to learn more.
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.
Settings > Account Recovery
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 confirmation box to confirm that you've stored your Recovery Phrase.
Tap Set Recovery Phrase.
Protect Your Vault With 2FA
Add an extra layer of security when logging into your Keeper Vault by setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
To enable 2FA for your Keeper Vault, tap Settings > Two-Factor Authentication. Tap the dropdown menu under "Primary Method" and select a method from the list of options and tap Next. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup (more on that here).
Enable Biometric Login
Biometric Login is a time-saving, convenience feature that allows you to sign into Keeper with just your fingerprint, face, or iris authentication. Watch the video below or continue reading to learn how.
From the Settings menu, toggle "Biometric Login" on.
Once enabled, at the Keeper login screen, tap Biometric Login and touch the fingerprint sensor when prompted (or use Face/Iris Authentication where available).
Enable KeeperFill
KeeperFill seamlessly autofills your logins and passwords into apps and web browsers. KeeperFill is available on Android 9 and newer. For the best experience, please update your Android device to the latest version.
To enable KeeperFill, navigate to Keeper's Settings menu, toggle "KeeperFill" on and tap Set Up > Open Autofill Settings.
You’ll be redirected to your device Settings to select Keeper as your "Preferred service for passwords, passkeys & autofill".
You will then prompted to enable various settings on your device including:
Selecting Keeper as the "Autofill service"
Enabling KeeperFill in Chrome by selecting Autofill using another service > Restart Chrome (if Chrome is set as the default browser on your device).
Navigate back to Keeper and tap Done. You are now ready to start using KeeperFill.
Android also supports “Additional Autofill Services” which create pop-ups via Google Credential Manager, a separate autofill option. Enabling Keeper as an additional service is not recommended as it will not trigger the fill options above your keyboard which provides the most reliable and seamless autofill experience.
Autofill Your Passwords
To autofill your passwords into websites and apps using KeeperFill, watch the video below or continue reading to learn how.
From an app or website login screen, tap Sign in to Keeper located above the keyboard and enter your Keeper Master Password.
If Keeper identifies a record match, your login will be displayed. Simply tap on your login next to the Keeper icon to autofill your credentials. Some apps and sites have more than one login screen and may require you to tap your login on each screen.
KeeperFill presents somewhat differently depending on what Android version your device is running. Reference the screenshots below that are specific to the Android version you are currently using.
If your device's keyboard does not support autofill, KeeperFill's appearance and location will vary like in the examples below.
