What is Keeper and How does it work?
Password managers such as Keeper, store passwords in a secure, cloud-based digital vault. This allows users to access their login information from anywhere, using any device. Users can access their password vaults through the password manager’s web application or by downloading the desktop app, browser extension or mobile app. The master password is the only password users must memorize since it gives users access to their secure digital vault. The digital vault allows users to add, edit and manage private information such as passwords and files.
Why Use a Password Manager?
As people shift their work, shopping, education and leisure activities to online versus in-person, many continue engaging in poor password habits, such as reusing passwords across different accounts. A password manager eliminates these bad password practices.
Here are a few other reasons why you should use a password manager...
- No need to memorize passwords on your own
- Increased protection against phishing and identity theft
- It’s extremely difficult to remember multiple passwords, which is why so many people
resort to poor password habits. According to Keeper’s 2022 US Password Practices Report, 56% of respondents use the same password across multiple accounts. - Password managers have a password generator function which automatically creates
strong, unique passwords and saves them in the user’s secure digital vault. Users are no longer required to memorize their passwords, and the generated passwords are
nearly impossible for cybercriminals to guess.
- Share sensitive information securely
- Under certain circumstances, you may need to share access to an account. However,
poor password management can cause confusion and result in locked or suspended
accounts. - A password manager tool ensures that employees and individuals can share account
credentials easily and securely, without having to memorize the shared passwords, write them down, or send them using risky methods such as email or text message.

Notes:
Sometimes the desktop app does not automatically launch after downloading. If this happens, search for Keeper in the bottom left search bar on your computer and manually open the app. We suggest to pin it to your taskbar as there is not a desktop shortcut.
if your computer is connected via Microsoft EntraAD (formerly AzureAD), a pop-up window will appear to connect your email rather than prompting you to manually put in your email.
You have successfully logged into Keeper and can start creating and sharing records with your team.
