How to Migrate from Keeper to VaultKeepR

Use the steps below to export from Keeper and import locally in VaultKeepR. Keep the source vault until you have checked the imported entries.

Follow these steps :

1. Open Keeper Desktop app.
2. Select Settings > Export.
3. Choose JSON (recommended) or CSV format.
4. Enter master password to download.
5. In VaultKeepR, open Settings → Data → Import and select the file. Parsing happens locally; nothing is uploaded.

Local encryption and its limits

The VaultKeepR app reads the export on your device without uploading the import file. Vault data is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before synchronization.

Storage operators receive ciphertext, but metadata remains visible. Availability depends on storage services, IPFS gateways and pinning. A compromised device can expose keys or plaintext. The threat model describes these limits.

Storage and transfer scope

Your source manager’s storage model and recovery policy are separate from this import procedure. VaultKeepR synchronizes ciphertext through IPFS and other configured storage services. This does not eliminate offline attacks against a stolen vault or the need to protect your devices and backups.

Processing entries on device

The import runs in the VaultKeepR app on your device:

• The JSON or CSV file is read locally to map fields into vault entries.
• The imported vault is encrypted on device before synchronization.
• If you enable sync, storage services receive the encrypted vault, not the export file.

Precautions during transfer

An unencrypted export contains plaintext credentials. Use a trusted, updated device and keep temporary files out of shared or synchronized folders.

Check entry counts, sample credentials and important fields in VaultKeepR before deleting the export or a temporary list. Keep the source vault until these checks are complete. Deleting a file or emptying the trash does not guarantee physical erasure, particularly on SSDs or in cloud backups.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What export formats does VaultKeepR support?

JSON is recommended for Keeper; CSV is an alternative. Check the preview and transferred fields before confirming the import.

Can VaultKeepR help me recover my master password?

VaultKeepR cannot reset your master password or decrypt your vault for you. Configure fragmented recovery before you lose access. It requires the recovery identifier, the encrypted vault or its manifest, and the configured quorum: 3 valid fragments out of 5 in the apps. Test the procedure with a test vault; it does not guarantee recovery if the required material is lost.
