iOS - iPhone & iPad

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!

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 ">".

Select your Two-Factor notification method and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup (more on that here).

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.

Enable KeeperFill

KeeperFill is fully integrated into the login experience of every website and app (iOS 12+), allowing you to enjoy its many benefits and conveniences seamlessly across your devices. Before you can utilize KeeperFill on your device, you must first enable it in your device settings.

On your device, tapSettings > Passwords > Password Options then toggle "AutoFill Passwords" on and from the list, select Keeper.

To make the most out of the Keeper Mobile App and ensure that your device's built-in password saving feature doesn't interfere with KeeperFill's autofill capabilities, we recommend that you only allow filling from Keeper.

Notice a Passwords button now appears above the keyboard when logging into an app or website.

Desktop Steps

When you first login to you vault, Keeper will give you the opportunity to import passwords from your computer and/or web browsers (If you're not near a desktop computer, you can perform the import at a later time).

After tapping I'm at my computer Keeper will ask you to navigate to keepersecurity.com/setup to begin the process of importing your passwords.

Import Passwords

You can either manually enter your existing logins and passwords into your vault or Keeper can import existing passwords directly from your web browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox), another password manager, or from a text file (.csv).
