How To Use Password Manager On Iphone

Your 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.

Signing up for Keeper's iOS mobile app is easy. Simply visit the App Store on your device and install the Keeper Password Manager where you will be able to either create a new account or login to an existing account.

New Users

If you are signing up for Keeper as a new user click Create 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 customers who login with SSO do not require selection of a Master Password.

Existing Users

If you are an existing user, tap Login and enter your email address. Next, 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 Send Keeper Push , a notification (push) will 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.

If you are an Enterprise customer using SSO Login, tap Use Enterprise SSO Login and enter the Enterprise Domain provided by your Keeper administrator and tap Connect . Keeper will then ask permission to share information with you, to accept tap Continue .

Next, you will be directed to the Safari browser for web-based SSO Enterprise authentication. After you have successfully entered your credentials and two-factor authentication code (if enabled), you will be returned to Keeper to enter your Master Password. Lastly, tap Confirm to proceed to your Keeper vault.

Two-Factor Authentication

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, tap Settings > Two-Factor Authentication on and under "Primary Method" select your 2FA method.

Text Message Setup:

(1) Text Message is on by default. Select a Region (US+1 by default), enter your 10 digit phone number including your area code and tap Save

(2) Select how long you want the code to be valid and tap Back

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.

(3) To verify that you trust this number and device, enter the Keeper iOS code that was sent to the phone number you provided.

Codes will only last for a minute; if you need another code sent, tap Send a new code

(4) 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. Tap OK to 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) Tap the field under "Primary Method" and select "Google and Microsoft Authenticator (TOTP)" and tap Save

(2) Select how long you want the code to be valid and tap Back

(3) You will be asked to scan the QR Code or enter your Secret Key in your Authenticator or TOTP app. Copy the code displayed in Keeper. Open Google or Microsoft Authenticator (or whichever app you use for 2FA), and add a TOTP record, pasting in the copied Secret Key.

(4) Return to Keeper and copy or enter the TOTP code provided.

(5) 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. Tap OK 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:

Apple Watch devices can be used for Two-Factor Authentication. Make sure your device is paired with your phone and that the Apple Watch device has downloaded the corresponding KeeperDNA app . In Keeper, navigate to Settings > Two-Factor Authentication > Smartwatch (KeeperDNA) then follow the prompts to verify your identity.

If you don't get a notification, you may not have notifications enabled for Keeper. To turn on notifications, on your phone navigate to Settings > Notifications > Keeper and toggle allow notifications "ON" .

The Keeper DNA app on your Apple Watch can also generate Two-Factor Authentication codes that can be used for logging in.

2FA for Websites & Apps

(1) While editing a Keeper record, tap Add Two-Factor Code

(2) On a secondary device (tablet, computer), navigate to the record's website's 2FA set-up screen which is usually located in the security settings. It is sometimes referred to as "login verification" or "two-step verification". A QR code should be provided.

(3) Scan the QR code with your phone.

(4) After scanning the QR code, the 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.

Light/Dark Mode Configuration

Users have the option to choose between two appearance modes which are available in Keeper's Settings menu . The app can adapt to the Light or Dark appearance mode that is selected on your device by choosing Use Device Settings . Alternatively, users have the option to keep the familiar style and theme of the app by choosing Classic mode.

Use Device Settings Mode reverts to the mode that is currently configured in your device's "Display and Brightness Settings" (Light or Dark) and will automatically apply that theme to the Keeper application. If you retain this setting within the app, any future setting change made on your device will also apply to the Keeper app.

Classic Mode retains the existing Keeper user experience, regardless of what setting is configured in your device's "Display and Brightness Settings" (Light or Dark).

Use Device Settings Mode (Light & Dark)

To change your device's display mode, navigate to Settings > Display and Brightness , then select " Light " or " Dark " (iOS 13 and above).

Both Touch and Face ID must be set up in your phone's settings before they can be used to login into Keeper. Once that is complete, from Keeper's Settings menu, toggle Biometric Login "ON". Once on, you can log into Keeper with your fingerprint using Touch ID or your face using Face ID. Tap on the Touch ID or Face ID symbol in the Master Password field to initiate the biometric login.

Biometric Login such as Touch and Face ID on iOS are a time saving & convenience feature and are not a replacement for Two-Factor Authentication.

Face ID Users: Upon your first login, Keeper will ask you if you want to use Face ID to login. If you reject this feature, you can re-enable it under your phone's Settings > Keeper > Allow Keeper to Access > Face ID .

The Keeper widget provides an account security overview that is displayed on your device's home screen. To add Keeper's iOS widget to your home screen, follow the steps below:

(1) Login to Keeper and tap Settings and toggle "Enable Keeper Widget" on.

(2) From your device's home screen, press and hold on any empty area until the apps jiggle.

(3) Tap the "+" add button from the upper-left corner of your screen.

(4) Select Keeper widget, choose from three widget sizes, then tap Add Widget .

Security Keys

Keeper enables two-factor authentication (2FA) with YubiKey 5Ci . The lightning connector enables secure log in across most iPhone and iPad models.

(1) Before you add a security key, a Two-Factor Authentication method must be in place as a backup.

The security key will follow the same interval use as the backup two-factor method.

(2) Under Settings > Two-Factor Authentication , tap the field under "Security Keys".

(3) Tap Add New and enter a security key name .

(4) Insert your YubiKey into your device.

(5) Touch the sensor on your YubiKey.

(6) Your security key has been registered, tap OK to finish.

A user can register up to 5 security keys. Any one of those keys will unlock the account.

To delete a security key, swipe left on the registered key in the Security Key page and tap Delete

Account Switching & Vault Selection

Keeper supports the use of multiple vaults on the same device allowing you to switch between a personal account and business account, for example.

To switch to another account on your device, tap Account then tap the email address displayed and select the account you would like to switch to or select Add Account to register another account.

Alternatively, users can switch between accounts or add an account from the login screen. While logged out, tap the email field then select an email address or Add Account to register another account.

The multi-account switching feature is only available as part of the paid consumer and Business plans.

2FA Prompting Behavior & Offline Access

When 2FA is activated on an account, it protects the user on all devices and all platforms because 2FA is protecting access to the backend cloud system.

By definition, two-factor authentication protects access to the cloud and access to online accounts. Therefore, it requires an online connection to be prompted for 2FA. 2FA is triggered when a request is made from the client device to the server. (Logging into a new device, syncing new information on an existing device or performing any other cloud-based features).

By default, the native Keeper app for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows allow users to login quickly with their Master Password (offline mode) to access their vault. After entering their Master Password or using biometric login, the user decrypts the data locally, then the app sends a sync request to the server at which time the user may be prompted for their 2FA code. Depending on the speed of the Internet connection, the 2FA prompt may be received a couple seconds after logging into the native application because the local decryption of data occurs much faster.

Offline authentication and vault access is permitted by all consumer customers. Enterprise customers may restrict the use of offline access for their employees.

2FA Token Retention & Timing

When activating 2FA on your iOS device for the first time, the user selects how often they want to be prompted. Users can be prompted for 2FA every login, once every 30 days or only one time per device. It's important to understand that 2FA is always enabled on the Keeper servers. After a successful login on a device, a "token" is generated from the 2FA code and stored locally on the device as long as it's deemed valid by the server. This is why you are still able to login to the same device over and over without being re-prompted. By default, consumer customers will be prompted only one time per device. Enterprise customers may enforce users to be prompted every time for a new code.

Currently, the 2FA token retention timing on iOS will default to "only one time" on a device if the 2FA was initially set up on the Web Vault or Desktop App. To change this behavior, turn 2FA off and then re-activate 2FA on the iOS device.

Import & Export
