Install and connect Keito for Chrome

Install

  1. Open Keito Time Tracker in the Chrome Web Store and select Add to Chrome.
  2. Open Chrome’s Extensions menu and pin Keito Time Tracker if you want the timer icon visible in the toolbar.
  3. Select the Keito icon. You can connect through Keito sign-in or an API key.

Install the item named Keito Time Tracker. A separate item whose name ends in BETA is used for release testing.

Connect with Keito sign-in

  1. Select Connect in the popup.
  2. Finish sign-in in the Keito window, including your organisation’s SSO or verification step if required.
  3. Return to the popup and choose the Keito workspace where you will save time, if you belong to more than one.

Closing the sign-in window cancels that attempt. Open the popup and select Connect again. Your Keito role and project permissions determine which projects and tasks you can use.

Personal two-factor authentication: the current extension cannot complete a Keito authenticator challenge for its separate sign-in session. If your account has personal MFA enabled, the popup can show No workspace is available for time tracking and ask for your organisation’s sign-in even when the workspace does not require SSO. Completing MFA in a Keito web tab does not approve the extension session. Use the Keito web app for tracking with that account; keep your existing security settings.

Connect with an API key

Select Use an API key instead if your Keito workspace permits this method. Enter a user-bound, full-access Keito integration key and the matching company ID, then select Connect. The key identifies a Keito member; it does not create a shared browser account. A company ID alone cannot authenticate.

Eligible active internal Members and Managers can create their own key under Settings > API & Developers > Personal API keys, choosing All permitted operations in API key access. A workspace administrator can also issue an Integration key bound to your active member identity. Copy the secret immediately; it is shown only once. Existing read-only sync keys and rotation replacements cannot be used for this write-capable connection; create a new key instead. See API key setup and revocation. Keep the key private and revoke it if it is exposed. If your workspace requires SSO or another sign-in policy, use Connect instead.

After connecting

The popup shows your selected workspace and timer controls. Open Settings in the popup if you also want a button on GitHub or Basecamp; both sites start off until you enable them and grant Chrome access. See Permissions and privacy.

The extension stores its session in the browser profile you connected. If you switch Chrome profiles or reinstall the extension, connect again. Sign out before leaving a shared computer.
