Keeper Security Setup User Guide
About Keeper Security
Keeper is a Zero-Knowledge platform. The data stored in a Keeper vault is encrypted and decrypted locally on the user’s device. Keeper Security employees have no ability to decrypt your data.
Keeper Vault
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.
Master Password Login for Existing Users
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 DUO Multifactor request.
New User Account Creation
To create your Keeper account, first visit https://keepersecurity.com/vault/ and enter your firm email address (Or click on the "Comple Registration Button" that was sent you via email) 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 -- NO NOT 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.
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.

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 by clicking on the dice icon. The default password length for generated passwords is 20 characters. The length slider can be used to generate longer or shorter passwords for specific sites.
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.
Character Sets Used for Password Generation
| Lowercase Letters | Uppercase Letters | Digits | Symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV | 0123456789 | !@#$%()+;<>=?[]{}^., |
Passphrase Generator
Similar to Keeper's password generator, a click of the dice will generate a highly secure, random, yet easy-to-remember passphrase for any of your accounts stored in Keeper. By combining multiple words, passphrases are a more secure alternative to passwords.
Click on the dropdown and select Passphrase.
A strong passphrase includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. You can use numbers, symbols or spaces to separate each word of the passphrase.
Launch
Launch allows you to quickly navigate to your favorite websites. Simply click a record's Website Address, Launch button, or launch icon to launch the target site and login with Keeper in a new window.
Record History
Keeper provides you with the ability to view and restore previous versions of a record by clicking on the record's information icon and View Record History.
Select the version of the record you want to review/and or restore based on the last modified date and time. Click Restore to revert the record back to the selected version.
Deleted records can be reviewed and restored by visiting the Deleted Items section of your vault (this is available as a paid feature).KeeperFill
The KeeperFill Browser Extension allows you to autofill your passwords and save new login credentials to your vault. KeeperFill is already installed on your browser.
Changing Passwords with KeeperFill
KeeperFill makes it easy to change your passwords. When visiting a site's "Change Password" form, you will receive a prompt from Keeper asking if you would like help changing your password. By clicking Yes, Keeper will walk you through a few quick steps to change your password and simultaneously update the record in your vault. These steps will include a series of prompts detailing the following actions:
