Configuring your Keeper Account

Requesting a Keeper Account

Use this TeamDynamix Service Request, Request a Keeper Security Enterprise Account, to request a Chico State Enterprise Account. If you are a current Chico State Enterprise LastPass user, skip to Activate your 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 authorized, 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 is deployed through Single Sign-On (SSO) you will automatically be routed to authenticate with our SSO provider to launch 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 the email address associated with your account (your Chico State email address) and click Next. If you have not recently authenticated via SSO you will asked to authenticate through Chico State's SSO provider.
