# KeePass Pro Get Started Guide
Welcome to KeePass Pro, the secure password manager for Microsoft Teams. This guide walks you through adding KeePass Pro to a channel, creating an encrypted vault, and storing your first items, so your team can share credentials safely without leaving Teams. 🔐
# What is KeePass Pro?
KeePass Pro is a shared password manager that lives inside Microsoft Teams. It stores your encrypted .kdbx vault in your own SharePoint or OneDrive, so your organization keeps full control of the data while teammates securely store and share credentials in one place.
You add KeePass Pro as a tab in any team channel to share a vault, or pin it to your Teams navigation bar to keep a private vault just for you.
# Set up KeePass Pro

# Key features
# How safe are my passwords?
Your vault is a standard KeePass .kdbx file, protected with AES-256 encryption and your master password, and stored in your own Microsoft 365 environment. Only the people you share the vault with can open it.

# Personal or shared password management
Use KeePass Pro either way. To keep passwords private, pin your vault to the Teams navigation bar. To collaborate, add the vault as a tab in the right channel so every member can access the shared credentials.
