Your node is ready. Now set up Keeper.

Step 01 · Create the account

Open your Keeper invitation and create your account

Each covered member gets an invitation at the email on their FSSP household record — use that same address so the seat matches your node.

• Set a master password you don't use anywhere else.
• Keeper never sees it: if you lose it, no one can recover your vault.
• Store the recovery phrase somewhere physical.

Step 02 · Sign in

Sign in to the Web Vault

Go to keepersecurity.com/vault and sign in with your email + master password. On your own device, enable Touch ID / Windows Hello afterwards so you rarely type it.

• Bookmark the vault — it's your day-to-day home.
• Turn on "Remember Email" only on your own device.

Step 03 · Secure it

Turn on two-factor authentication

Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. An authenticator app (TOTP) is recommended; SMS works if that's all you have. Add a second method so you're never locked out.

• Authenticator app (TOTP) — recommended.
• Add a security key if you own one.
• Leave the inactivity logout timer on.

Step 04 · Protect your data

Accept the account transfer policy

Your household licence is a managed Keeper account. Keeper's zero-knowledge design means only you can open your vault — not Keeper, not Simple Technologies, not your household admin. The account transfer policy is the one exception, and it exists for your protection: it lets your vault be transferred to your designated Keeper administrator if you're ever locked out, lose access, or the account must be recovered.

Because no one can bypass your master password, this policy is the only way your data can be preserved if something goes wrong. We strongly recommend accepting it.

Step 05 · Bring passwords in

Import what you already have

Settings → Import pulls in a browser export or another manager — Chrome, 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden and more. Import first, then clean up.

Step 06 · Autofill

Install KeeperFill in your browser

The browser extension fills logins, offers to save new ones, and generates strong replacements as you go. Install it in every browser each member uses.

• Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Opera are supported.
• Sign in to the extension with the same account.
• Let it save new logins as you browse the first week.

Step 07 · Replace weak passwords

Generate strong passwords as you go

Don't fix everything at once. Each time you sign in somewhere, let Keeper generate a new password and save it. Start with email, banking and anything shared.

• 20 characters or a five-word passphrase.
• Never reuse — Security Audit shows where you still do.

Step 08 · Share safely

Set up your household shared folders

Shared folders are how a family shares streaming, utilities and the wifi password without texting them around. On a business licence this is the sharing model (Emergency Access is a personal-account feature and isn't available here).

• One shared folder per category, not one for everything.
• Give view-only access where editing isn't needed.
• Put anything a second person would need into a shared folder now — that's your continuity plan.

Step 09 · Take it with you

Install the app on every phone

iOS and Android both autofill system-wide once biometric unlock is on. This is the step families skip and then abandon the vault — do it before you close this guide.

• Enable Face ID / fingerprint unlock.
• Turn on autofill in the phone's settings.
• Check BreachWatch once a month.
