A Complete Guide to Using Keeper on iOS: Setup, Security & Autofill Made Easy

Keeper for iOS brings a secure, private vault to your iPhone and iPad, designed to protect passwords, login credentials, files, and sensitive notes while keeping them easy to find and use. Within the mobile app, you can create and organize records, attach files, and safely share items with trusted contacts. Everything is encrypted and decrypted on your device, aligning with Keeper’s zero‑knowledge approach, so only you control access to your data. This guide mirrors the typical structure of Keeper’s iOS documentation while presenting the information in fresh language. It covers account creation and login options, enabling two‑factor authentication, turning on KeeperFill autofill, importing existing passwords, and where to find extra help.

Getting Started on iPhone & iPad

Install the Keeper Password Manager from the App Store, launch the app, and you’ll be greeted with simple prompts to begin. The mobile experience revolves around your personal vault, which is where saved logins, payment details, files, and photos can be viewed, edited, and organized into folders. The vault design keeps sensitive information at your fingertips without exposing it to anyone else.  

Account Creation & Login 

New Users. After opening Keeper, enter your email address and set a Master Password — the single secret that unlocks your vault. Choose a strong phrase you haven’t used elsewhere. To finish setup, enter the verification code sent to your email. In some enterprise environments that use single sign‑on (SSO), users may not create a Master Password during setup.  

Existing Users. Tap Login and provide your email. If you’re signing in on a new or unrecognized device, device approval is required before you can access the vault. Keeper supports multiple approval methods, including email verification and Keeper Push, which sends an approval request to a device where you’re already signed in. After approval, complete two‑factor authentication (if enabled) and enter your Master Password to proceed.  

Enterprise SSO Login. Enterprise users can sign in with SSO by entering their work email or selecting the company’s enterprise domain. Authentication occurs briefly in the Safari browser, after which you return to Keeper. Depending on policy, you may still need to approve the device via Keeper Push or admin approval before vault access is granted.

Turn On Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) 

Strengthen your account by enabling 2FA from within the app: go to Settings > Two‑Factor Authentication and pick a method such as text message codes or an authenticator app. 2FA adds a short, second step at sign‑in, greatly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Keeper also offers a convenience option to remember the device so you don’t need to re‑enter the code every time you log in on that phone or tablet.  

Enable KeeperFill (Autofill) on iOS 

KeeperFill integrates natively with iOS to autofill usernames, passwords, and passkeys in apps and websites. To turn it on: open iOS Settings, tap Passwords > Password Options, switch on AutoFill Passwords, then select Keeper from the list.  

For the smoothest experience, allow filling from Keeper only, so iOS doesn’t present conflicting suggestions from other password managers. After setup, a Passwords button appears above the keyboard when signing in, making it fast to insert saved credentials from your vault.  

Import Existing Passwords 

When you first sign in to the mobile app, Keeper can help import passwords from your computer or browsers, so your logins are consolidated in one secure place. If you skip this during initial setup, you can return to importing later. Centralizing your data streamlines autofill and reduces the need to remember scattered credentials.  

Tips & Best Practices 

Use unique, complex passwords for every site and app, relying on Keeper’s generator to create strong credentials. Organize items into folders and add custom fields to capture extra details like security questions or account numbers. When sharing, use Keeper’s secure share rather than email or chat to keep secrets protected. 

For business users, coordinate with your administrator on policies such as SSO, role‑based access, and approved 2FA methods. Regularly review your vault’s security audit (if available in your plan) to identify weak or reused passwords, then update them with stronger alternatives.
