A comprehensive guide for the Keeper Web Vault and cross-platform, Keeper Desktop Application.
Welcome to Keeper!
Keeper is simple to install, easy to use and you’ll be up and running in just minutes.
With Keeper, your passwords, logins and other personal information are saved in a private, digital vault. It is here where you can view and edit all of your website login credentials and details, as well as store important files and photos.
Keeper Vault
Watch the video below for an overview of the vault with master password login.
Keeper End-User Vault Overview (Master Password Login)
If you've already signed up for Keeper on your mobile devices, you can simply login to the Web Vault or Desktop App (links below) with your email address, Master Password and Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled on your account).
Login to the Keeper Web Vault:
Download the Keeper Desktop App:
Device | OS Version Supported |
Windows | 7 / 8 / 10+ |
Mac OS | Current Version - 2 |
Linux | Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint |
Upon logging in, 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, Keeper Push or Two-Factor Method.
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 on an approved device or browser.
Device Approval Options
Select Yes to approve the new device.
You must be actively logged into a different, recognized/approved device to receive the notification.
Device Approval Request
Once your device has been approved, you will be prompted for 2FA (if enabled), then you can enter your Master Password to proceed to your vault.
To create your Keeper account, first enter your email address then you will be asked to create and confirm a Master Password which will be the only password you have to remember. We recommend that you choose a strong Master Password that is only used for Keeper -- don't forget your Master Password!
To finalize your account and proceed to your vault, you will be asked to enter the security verification code that was sent to your email.
Enterprise users who login with SSO do not require the selection of a Master Password.
Set Your Master Password
Upon logging in, you will be prompted to follow our Get Started wizard, which will guide you to import your passwords, install the KeeperFill Browser Extension and set up Account Recovery.

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. BreachWatch alerts you so that you can take immediate action to protect yourself against hackers. Once activated, BreachWatch continuously monitors for compromised credentials and notifies you if any of your records are at risk.
To start your BreachWatch scan, from the left navigation menu, click BreachWatch > Let's Begin.
BreachWatch
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 (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.
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.
