Create a Shared Folder

Keeper’s Shared Folders make sharing records with friends and family both easy and secure. Our Shared Folders provide great flexibility with improved User and Record Permission controls.
  • To create a shared folder, click the Create New button and select Shared Folder. Enter a folder name and use the dropdown arrows to set the folder’s default user and record permissions.
  • User Permissions are used to govern each individual user's ability to add or remove records and other users to the folder. Record Permissions are used to govern folder members' interactions with each individual record in the folder. For more information on Shared Folder Permissions, please see our Sharing Guide I’ve linked in the description.
  • Once you click Create, you can begin adding records and users to the folder. Notice, shared folders are differentiated from regular folders with a unique sharing icon.
  • Now you can add records to the folder with a simple drag-and-drop and move multiple records at once by holding down the “Command” or “Control” key on your keyboard. You can also click Edit and add records using the record search bar.
  • To add users to the folder switch to the "Users" tab. Click within the email address field and enter the email of the Keeper user you would like to share the folder with and click Add. If this is the first time sharing with this user, you may need to first establish a "sharing relationship".
  • Upon clicking Send Invite, the recipient will receive an email prompting them to login to Keeper and accept the share request.
  • Once the recipient accepts your share request, a sharing relationship is established between you and the recipient.
  • The user’s email address will now automatically appear in the dropdown list of users moving forward and you can now share the folder with them.
  • While in “Edit” mode, the “Settings” tab is where you can manage the folder’s default User and Record Permissions over the folder, meaning any new user or record you add to the folder will inherit the permissions you set. Remember, these were initially set when you created the folder but you can adjust them at any time by clicking on the dropdown arrows.
  • It’s important to note that newly created records inherit the permissions you set when adding users or records to the shared folder. Optionally, check the box here to apply the permissions you set to the existing records.
  • If you’d like to change just an individual record’s or user’s permissions, you can do that as well. From the “Records” tab, click the dropdown menu to set individual record permissions. The same process applies to users. From the “Users” tab, click the dropdown to select a user’s permissions over the users and records in the folder.
  • Lastly, you can delete records and users by simply checking the box next to the record or user’s name and clicking Delete. Remember, be sure to click Save after making any of the changes we reviewed.

Create a Record

For the purpose of this demo, I will select the default record type, “Login”. Now give your record a title. For many commonly used websites, suggestions will appear as you type. Selecting one of these suggested options will automatically fill the Website Address field for you in the next screen.
  • Once you click Next, the “New Record” detail pane appears on the right side of your screen. Here you can enter the specific details that apply to this record.
  • First enter the username or email address you use to login to this website. Next, enter your password for that site in the password field. Or instead, you can have Keeper generate a secure, random password for you by clicking on the dice. You can always click the eye icon to view what you have entered and confirm it is correct.
  • It is very important to note, using the password generator will not automatically change the website's existing account password. You still must visit the corresponding website's "Change Password" form to update the old password to match the new, stronger password. Now, enter the Website Address for the site if it hasn’t already been entered for you.
  • When creating their first records, many users will enter a site’s homepage address into Keeper as a record’s website address. Unfortunately, the homepage isn’t always where you login. It is best to use a site’s designated login page as the Website Address for a Keeper record in order for Keeper to easily recognize it. For example, I can find the login address by going to a site and performing my normal login process. Once at the login page, copy and paste the page’s URL (which can be found in the upper address bar of your browser) into the “Website Address” field of your Keeper record.
  • While still viewing the new record form, you may notice a button called “Files or Photos”. Clicking this button allows you to take advantage of Keeper’s Secure File Storage capabilities. With Keeper’s Secure File storage, you can easily and securely upload and store files such as passports, medical or credit cards, loan documents, photos and any other private file -- making them easily accessible from within your vault.
  • To utilize this feature, simply drag-and-drop the file from your computer directly into the record to upload it. Or you can click the Files or photos button and select it from your computer files.
  • You can always use this feature at a later time, by adding the file or photo to another record, or creating a standalone record that contains just the file or photo of your choosing.
  • Next, if you would like, you can enter a note in the “Notes” field. Examples of common notes are things such as account numbers, banking or travel information.
  • Lastly, you will notice there are other items you are able to add, specifically, Two-factor Codes and Custom Fields. These are more advanced features which you can explore in more detail in our End-User Guides which I’ve linked below in the description.
  • docs.keeper.io/user-guides/web-vault#two-factor-codes-for-totp
  • docs.keeper.io/user-guides/web-vault#custom-fields
  • When you are finished creating your record, click Save in the upper right corner of the record form. You will see your record now appears under “My Vault”.
  • Now you are ready to use the record you just created. Simply click the launch icon next to the website address. This will take you to that website’s address where you can now refer to your Keeper record when logging into your account.
  • To take full advantage of Keeper, we recommend that you install the KeeperFill browser extension which can automatically fill your username and password at your favorite sites. KeeperFill will be covered in more detail in another video in this series.

Create a Folder

​To create a folder, click the Create New button. Select Folder, Name your folder and click Create. A common folder name would be something like “Banking”, “Social Media” or “Travel” so you can group your password records by category, if you’d like. The folder you created will now appear under the “My Vault” screen.
​
Now to move a record into the folder, click on the record and drag and drop it into the folder. Click Move to confirm the action or you can create a shortcut which allows that record to exist in two or more places, and when edited, change together.

Share a Record

For those times where you only want to share a single record and not an entire folder, Keeper has a solution for that too. Select the record you want to share from your vault. A detail pane will appear on the right side of the screen. Click the Options button and select Sharing. Enter an email address of a user you would like to share the record with or select their email from the dropdown if you’ve shared with them before.
​
Now choose their permission level and click Add. That user will now receive an email notifying them that a Keeper record has been shared. They must accept the invite to complete the sharing process.

One-Time Share

Keeper One-Time Share provides time-limited secure sharing of a record to anyone without the recipient having to create a Keeper account. One-Time Share is the most secure way to send confidential information to a friend, family member or [co-worker] without exposing sensitive information over email, text message or messaging.

To share a record using One-Time Share, access your Web Vault and select a record you would like to share. From the Options menu for the selected record, click One Time Share. Click Create One-Time Share to create the link. You will be asked to choose a duration for your share. Duration defaults to one hour and is limited to a maximum of 90 days. You may either copy the link to quickly send the share or, to provide the recipient with more detailed instructions, click Copy Invitation. The invitation will show on screen. Paste the invitation into an email, SMS, chat app, or any other out-of-band channel. Existing One-Time Shares of the selected record can be managed in the One-Time Share history.

The recipient of a One-Time Share simply clicks on the provided link and is instantly presented with the shared record.

One-Time Shares utilize Keeper's Zero-Knowledge encryption technology, so they’re secure by design. To learn about our encryption model, follow the link in the description.

Autofill with KeeperFill

KeeperFill is Keeper’s powerful, autofilling browser extension. A browser extension is a small application that adds useful functionality to your browser. Once you set up KeeperFill, you can autofill your passwords and save new records that you create to your Keeper Vault. KeeperFill is available for every web browser such as: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge, and Opera.

You can download KeeperFill for your browser right from your Keeper account or from our website’s “Download” page (keepersecurity.com/downlo...). Click on your email address in the upper right hand corner of your vault and select Settings, then KeeperFill and Setup next to “KeeperFill Browser Extension”. The installation steps for each browser will differ slightly.

For browser-specific installation and setup instructions, including disabling your browser’s built-in password saving feature so it won’t interfere with Keeper, please refer to our End-User Guides which are linked below.

If you are on a Chrome or Edge browser, like I am here, be sure to "Pin" the extension to ensure it's visible in your browser window at all times.

Once downloaded, the Keeper icon will appear in the upper right corner of your web browser window, with the exception of Safari where it will appear left of center. Moving forward, when you login or logout of your Web Vault you will be automatically logged into or out of KeeperFill and vice-versa. As you can see here I am already logged in to KeeperFill since I’ve already signed into my Web Vault.

To login to KeeperFill moving forward, click the Keeper icon and enter your email address if it's not already filled for you, enter your Master Password and Two-Factor Code (if enabled). Reminder, these are the same credentials you use to login to your vault! Once you’ve successfully logged into KeeperFill, you will notice the Keeper icon logged-in indicator will have turned from red to green.

Once in, you will notice, various tools can be accessed from the KeeperFill toolbar. The search bar is where you can search for a website login or any other piece of information stored in your vault. The search feature is case insensitive and will match any record within your vault as you type, even partial words. The search results can also be sorted by name and date. The “Generate Password” button will generate a secure password for you that you can either copy or use to create a new record. You will also notice the “Vault” launch button which will launch your Keeper Web Vault with one click. And finally, it is here where you can access all of the various KeeperFill settings.

Now, I will demonstrate how KeeperFill automatically fills your logins and passwords when visiting a website. For example, here at Facebook’s login page, since this is the first time I am logging into this site with KeeperFill, I am asked if I would like Keeper to autofill my login. Keep in mind, you must already have created a Keeper record for this site containing the login pages website address for Keeper to recognize, match and fill your login. Now click Yes. Watch as my credentials are autofilled into the login form and I am logged in!

Next, let's discuss the small lock icons you will notice that now appear when you hover your cursor over the login fields of the sites you visit. Clicking on a lock, will generate the KeeperFill window. The fill window has multiple functions including, filling your login credentials with one click, creating new records, and searching for and editing existing records.

For example, if your username and password aren’t automatically filled as demonstrated previously, you can click on the Keeper lock and the fill button to autofill your username and password. Clicking Show More will expand the window to display all of the record details including the autofill and auto submit settings for that particular record. The “Autofill” setting will allow Keeper to autofill your login and the “Auto Submit” setting, after filling your login, will allow Keeper to automatically submit the website form and login to the website.
​
You can toggle these settings on or off, by default they will be turned on. You can also click the other fill buttons to fill individual fields when needed. Now, I will click the fill button to login.

Change Your Passwords with KeeperFill

Long, randomly generated passwords that are created for each of your logins helps to protect your accounts from cybertheft and account takeover. KeeperFill’s Password Change feature makes the process of changing high-risk passwords easy. Install our KeeperFill Browser Extension to take advantage of this time-saving feature. For more information, please see our KeeperFill video which I’ve linked below.

To change a password using KeeperFill, navigate to the site you want to change the password for, in this example I am using Twitter. Now locate the “Change Password” page which is usually located in the account or privacy settings of the website. Once there, you will automatically receive a prompt from Keeper asking if you would like help changing your password. By clicking Yes, Keeper will guide you through a few quick steps to change your password and simultaneously update the record in your vault.

If Keeper doesn't automatically appear, click on a Keeper lock and choose “Change Password” from the menu options.

Keeper locks will appear in each password field that is displayed. The first few prompts will ask you to click on the Keeper locks one by one to automatically fill your current password then generate and fill a new password. You will see as I move through each step, the KeeperFill instructions simultaneously progress, directing you on what to do next.

Now, I’m asked to save the changes I made to my vault. By clicking Save, the corresponding record will automatically update in my vault with the new password. Now, you will be asked to submit the change on the website, often by clicking Save or Submit. As you can see here, my password change was successful and accepted by the site.
​
As a final step, upon submitting the change or refreshing the page, you will have an opportunity to confirm that the change was successful by clicking Yes or reverting the change if, for example, you made a mistake or if the site did not accept your password update.
