Please follow the system prompts and activate Keeper from the Settings screen.
Choose: Not Now | Proceed

Import prompt:

Choose: Later | Next 

Browser security prompts:

If you have a browser open, the application will ask to grab passwords stored in your browser, displaying these prompts:

•  security wants to use your confidential information stored in Chrome Safe Storage in your keychain.
Do you want to allow access to this item? 
Choose: Always Allow | Deny | Allow

•  security wants access to Chrome Safe Storage in your keychain do you want to allow access to this item? 
Choose: Always Allow | Deny | Allow

Create a new record:

The app will now prompt you to create a record and step you through the process.This is how you will enter in password and account info to set up your password vault.
