Configuring a Keeper Account
Requesting a Keeper Account
Before you can begin using Keeper Security to store and manage your passwords, you need to Request a Keeper Security Enterprise Account.
Note: Currently, only active Chico State Faculty, Staff, and Student Staff are permitted to request access to Keeper accounts.
Activating your Keeper Account
Once an admin adds you, you will be sent an invitation email from Keeper Security. Click the Set Up Your Account Now button located in the email invitation sent by your Keeper Administrator. Since your Keeper account uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you will automatically be routed to authenticate with your Chico State credentials to access your Keeper Vault.
Logging into your Keeper Account
Once your account has been activated, you can log in to your account through the Keeper Vault login page.
- Enter your Chico State email address and click Next.
- If you have not logged into any other Chico State SSO services, you will be directed to log in with your Chico State credentials.
- When prompted for Device Approval, either use Keeper Push to approve the login using a different device that already has access to Keeper, or select Admin Approval to have an Information Security team member approve the login.
- Once your login is approved, you can access and begin using Keeper's Password manager!
Using Keeper to Store Passwords
Importing Existing Passwords
Keeper allows you to import passwords from browsers' built-in password storage, directly from .CSV, Excel, or JSON files, as well as a variety of other Password Management Applications, including:
Note: Importing from some other password management applications may require the Keeper Password Manager desktop application, outlined under Installing the Keeper Password Manager Desktop Application
To begin the import process, click the Account Menu (your email address), then click Settings > Import.
Creating New Records
A Keeper record can be any password, file, or other sensitive piece of information that is stored in your private, digital Vault. To create a record, click + Create New > Record.
When creating new login records, remember to use long, random, and unique passwords to protect your information and reduce your exposure to data breaches. Click the dice icon on a record to generate strong, random passwords.
Installing the Keeper Apps
The following steps are not required but are recommended to get the best experience using the Keeper suite.
Installing the Keeper Password Manager Desktop Application
The Keeper Password Manager desktop application allows for ease of use outside of a browser session.
On campus-managed devices, you can install the Keeper Password Manager through the Software Center, Company Portal, and Self Service.
On personal devices, you can install the Keeper Password Manager from Keeper Security's website.
Installing the KeeperFill browser extension
The KeeperFill Browser Extension allows you to autofill your passwords and save new login credentials you create to your vault. You can install the KeeperFill browser extension from Keeper Security's website.
Browser-specific setup instructions and more information for KeeperFill can be found here: KeeperFill Browser Extension.
