This quick start guide will walk you through the setup steps and main features of Keeper for iOS, linking additional user guides throughout for a more detailed look.

Getting Started

Once you have signed up for Keeper there are a few initial set-up steps on both your iOS device and desktop computer we recommend that you complete to help get you up and running with Keeper in no time.

Account Creation

Signing up for Keeper's iOS mobile app is easy. Simply visit the App Store on your device and install Keeper Password Manager.
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!
Account Creation

Enable 2FA

After successfully downloading and logging into Keeper, it is highly recommended that you enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Two-Factor Authentication provides an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access by requiring a second passcode verification at login. Using 2FA is advised to further increase the security and protection of the data stored in Keeper.
Tap Settings > Two Factor Authentication then tap ">".
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Select your Two-Factor notification method and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup (more on that here).
Select 2FA Method
Whether you choose text message or an authenticator app as your 2FA method, Keeper offers the convenience of not having to enter the verification code every time you login. To enable this feature, select Save code on this device forever during 2FA set-up and you will only have to enter the code once on each device you login into.
