Device Approvals
Upon Login, 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 Verification, Keeper Push or Two-Factor Authentication.
Keeper Push is Keeper’s proprietary notification-based device approval system that sends a push notification to an existing, recognized device. 
If you select Keeper Push, a notification (push) will be appear in your Keeper vault at an approved device or browser.
Select Yes to approve the new device.
You must be actively logged into a different, recognized/approved device to receive the notification.
Once your device has been approved, you will be prompted for 2FA (if enabled), then you will enter your Master Password to proceed to your vault.
New User Account Creation
If you are signing up for Keeper as a new user, click Create an Account at the login page. You will first enter your email address then you will be asked to create a Master Password. This will be the only password you have to remember -- don't forget your Master Password! We recommend that you choose a strong Master Password that is only used for Keeper. To finalize your account and proceed to your vault, you will be asked to enter the verification code that was sent to your email. 
Enterprise users who login with SSO do not require selection of a Master Password.
Once you Keeper vault is created, you will be guided through a "Quick Start" walkthrough, that will help you either import passwords from your browser or other password manager or manually create new records. 
Watch the video below to learn how to create your account.

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 with the click of the dice. 
This will NOT automatically change the website's existing login password. You must still visit the corresponding website's "Change Password" form to update the old password to match the new, stronger password. Click here to learn how to easily change your password with KeeperFill. 
Custom Fields
Custom Fields allow you to store additional important data, like the answer to a site's security question or your passport number. Custom fields are created in pairs: a "Custom Field Name" and a "Custom Field Value". 
Please note, masked custom field values are only available for Keeper Enterprise customers.
Auto-Launch
Auto-launch allows you securely and quickly navigate to your favorite websites. Simply click a record's Website URL  to launch and login with Keeper in a new window. 
Security Audit
Security Audit gives your passwords an overall security score and lets you clearly see what passwords are weak from a password strength visual indicator (red being the weakest, green being the strongest). 
You can edit a record's password by clicking on the record from the provided list (you will still need to update the password at the record's website to match the new password in your Vault).
Record History 
Keeper provides you with the ability to restore previous versions of a record by clicking Options > Record History
Select the version of the record you want to review/and or restore based on the last modified date and time.
Click the info icon to review specific record version information. Click Restore to revert the record back to the selected version.

Select Trusted Users and enter the email addresses of up to 5 contacts. 
Set their "Delay access" duration and click Send
The amount of time between request and access granted can be set up to three months per contact. Please note, the Emergency Access feature is only available for consumer accounts. 
If a delay is configured, the countdown starts the moment the trusted user attempts to login to your vault.
In order for the recipient to accept the request, you must first establish a "sharing" relationship with them if one hasn't already been established through our sharing features. 
Click Send Invite
If the recipient is an existing Keeper user, they will receive an email like the one below notifying them you want to establish a sharing relationship, at which point they will be prompted to login to their Keeper Vault and accept or deny the request. Once the recipient has accepted the request, you will be notified and then you must send the Emergency Access invite once more. 
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. 
After the recipient accepts the emergency access request in their vault, they will notice a red notification indicator appears in the Emergency Access section of their Account Settings. There they can then navigate to My Access and Accept or Decline the emergency access request and proceed to Login (once the access delay has passed, if enabled).

Two-Factor Codes for TOTP
​
For extra security on supported sites and apps, click + Add Two-Factor Code to store Two-Factor Authentication codes for standard TOTP (Time-Based One Time Passwords) in your Keeper records.
Two-Factor Codes Integration
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.
They 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.

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.

To start your BreachWatch scan, from the left navigation menu, click BreachWatch > Let's Begin 
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. 
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 Setup
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.   
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication is advised for highly valuable or sensitive accounts (e.g. banking, medical and social media accounts).
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 Keeper Vault
To enable 2FA for your Keeper vault, from the Account Dropdown Menu, click Settings > Security , toggle "Two-Factor Authentication" on and select your 2FA method.
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
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.
Codes will only last for a minute; if you need another code sent, click Send a new code
(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 downto finish.
If you are NOT receiving SMS messages from Keeper, please use the TOTP method or contact [email protected] to troubleshoot the issue.
Google and Microsoft Authenticator (TOTP) Setup:
(1) Toggle "Google and Microsoft Authenticator (TOTP)" on and click Next
(2) Using the device that runs the Google or Microsoft Authenticator App, scan the QR code provided. The app will then acknowledge the QR code and produce a verification code. 
(3) Enter that verification code and click Next
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.
(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.
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.
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​
​Keeper DNA for Android and Wear Devices​
2FA for Websites & Apps
(1) At your 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 clipboard.
(2) Within a Keeper record, select Edit > Add Two-Factor Code
(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.
(4) After adding the security key to the vault 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.  
Security Keys
To increase security, Keeper supports FIDO-compatible U2F hardware-based security key devices such as YubiKey and Google Titan keys as a second factor. A user can register up to five security keys. Any one of those keys will unlock the account. 
A Two-Factor Authentication method must be set up before you register a security key. This ensures that there is a backup method if the key is not present. Click here to learn how to set-up a two-factor method.
1.
Under Settings > Security > Security Keys select Setup
2.
Make sure the security key is NOT already inserted into your USB port and click Next
3.
