Dashlane makes the internet easier. Save all your passwords and fill forms fast.

Dashlane is more than just a password manager. It fills all your passwords, payments, and personal details wherever you need them, across the web, on any device. It’s the app that makes the internet easier.

Dashlane

All your passwords, on every device

– Store an unlimited number of passwords and access them anywhere
– Sync your Dashlane data to every device automatically, even if your phone and computer run on different systems
– Create secure passwords with Password Generator
– Share passwords safely and conveniently
– Import your passwords easily from Chrome

Dashlane subscription options:

• 24 month plan – $0 per month ($0 total cost)

• 

  The question is whether you find enough value in Dashlane Premium’s extras to pay nearly double what you would pay for other very compelling password managers. If you’re just looking for a password manager, LastPass is the best paid choice, while Keeper is a very attractively priced runner-up and Bitwarden offers the best free plan. 

Dashlane: Costs and what’s covered

Dashlane currently offers three tiers of service: Free, Essentials and Premium. The Premium Plus plan, which cost $120 per year, is no longer offered to new customers.

The Dashlane Free tier has become considerably more limited since our last review. You can now store just 50 passwords on a single device and the website interface is mostly inaccessible

include form and payment autofill, security alerts, a password generator, limited password sharing, two-factor authentication (2FA), emergency contact access, and secure note storage. 

While you still enjoy the same great user interface and experience of the premium tiers, the limitations to the core password-storage functionality make Dashlane’s free tier a non-starter. It’s hard to recommend a free tier other than Bitwarden’s, but if you are a DIY type you can also take a look at keypass

Dashlane Essentials plan

The Dashlane Essentials plan ($4 per month or $36 per year) attempts to fill the demand for a simple, cheap, unlimited password manager. The problem is that it’s not unlimited. You can use it on only two devices at a time, such as one computer and one smartphone.

That works if you’re a person who regularly uses only two devices. But if you use one computer at home, another computer at work and also have a smartphone, then it’s Dashlane Premium for you.

This limitation makes Dashlane Essentials not much more appealing than LastPass’s recently hobbled free tier, which limits use either to an unlimited number of mobile devices or an unlimited number of laptops, desktops and Windows tablets.

Dashlane Premium

The Dashlane Premium ($6.50 per month or $60 per year) tier includes a built-in, unlimited VPN, provided by Hotspot Shield parent company AnchorFree, that can be used on all your devices. That’s a great deal if you happen to need a VPN.

Otherwise the Premium features remain mostly as before, which isn’t a criticism as Dashlane was already one of the most feature-rich password managers.

Premium subscribers enjoy unlimited password storage and syncing across all devices, security monitoring (including a dark-web monitoring feature), file storage up to 1GB, priority support, Yubikey 2FA support (in the desktop app only for now), unlimited password sharing and more.

Dashlane’s Family plan ($9 per month or $90 per year) let you cover up to six individuals at group rates. (The Premium Plus family plan has been discontinued.)

It includes all the perks of the Premium plan. That’s a substantial savings even for a couple with no kids; for a family with teenagers or college-aged children, it’s a very good deal.

Dashlane’s browser extensions

Dashlane’s browser extensions are compatible with Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. Opera and Brave are unofficially supported with the Chrome extensions on the desktop, and Brave is officially supported on Android. 

Dashlane

Minimum system requirements for the Dashlane desktop app are Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra and Windows 7, while the mobile apps require iOS 13.2 and Android 7 Nougat. Linux and Chrome OS are also supported via the browser extensions, but ID data and Receipts are not available via this method.

Dashlane is no longer updating its desktop apps, and will phase them out entirely once all its features (including the ability to set up 2FA) have been ported to the web app. That won’t happen until at least June 2021.

For this review, I used Dashlane on 2017 MacBook Pro 15 running Windows 10 and macOS 10.14 Mojave, an iPhone 7 Plus, and a Google Pixel 3. Google Chrome was my primary browser across all platforms but testing on macOS and iOS was also done with Safari. 

Dashlane: Setup

Downloading and installing the Dashlane desktop app from Dashlane’s website should be your first step, as least for now. The download link is in the upper-right corner of the home page.

The Dashlane website should recognize your operating system, but if not, it will prompt you with a link during the download.

One big caveat:

While Dashlane’s desktop application is great, the company, as mentioned above, plans to end support for the desktop versions after June 2021. All desktop functions are being ported over to the web interface, and users are strongly encouraged to switch to using the web app and browser extensions.

You will need to create an account with an email address and a master password. This is the one password you will need to remember going forward. Losing it will mean losing all your data stored in Dashlane, so make sure it’s memorable, unique and strong.

Dashlane guiding you

Dashlane does a good job of guiding you through the setup process and then walks you through some of the major features. If you are a first-time user of a password manager, this walkthrough is really convenient. Keeper does something comparable, but not as thoroughly. 

Next, you can import existing passwords from another password manager or your browser. Dashlane supports direct imports from 1Password, LastPass, PasswordWallet, RoboForm and web browsers, or from a simple CSV file. Dashlane also supports import via the mobile apps, rare among password managers.

If you didn’t download the mobile apps during the guided setup process, do so via the Android or iOS app store. To login to the apps, you need to enter the email address associated with your account.

Then you will receive an email message with a 6-digit code that you must enter within 3 hours. After confirming this code, enter your master password and your data will sync over.

Dashlane on the desktop

There are three ways to use Dashlane on the desktop: the standalone app, your account on the Dashlane website and the browser extension.

Each offers a slightly different feature set. They maintain a consistent theme so it isn’t too jarring switching between them, but I would prefer they stuck closer to the same interface.

Most users will want to use the full desktop app whenever possible, as a number of sections are still missing from the web interface. The website is mostly useless for free users — it only lets you check account settings, and you have to go premium to do anything else. The browser extension is best for quick password lookups or password generation, although it’s improving.

password managers

You can use Apple Touch ID, Windows Hello or Windows Biometrics Framework to log into the desktop application (and, in the future, into the web interface). Dashlane is also one of the only password managers to use the MacBook Pro TouchBar, which you can customize with a variety of frequently used features.

The desktop app looks much like other password managers’ apps. A left-hand column displays most features, with 10 sections divided into three categories. A small search box sits at the top.

The first category, Vault, has six sections: Passwords, Secure Notes, Personal Info, Payments, IDs and Receipts. The user interface for each has a blue “Add new” button in the upper-left corner and all your items for that section displayed below.

Grid or a list view

Passwords are presented in either a grid or a list view. You can sort them alphabetically, categorically or by frequency of use. Each item displays the favicon for its associated website.

Hovering your pointer over an item gives you the option to launch or view options including edit, copy password, copy login, share item, view password history or delete.

At the top of this section next to the “Add new” button, you have Password Changer and Share. Password Changer remains the killer app for Dashlane, as it can change your passwords on hundreds of websites simultaneously.

A full list of supported websites is here. The Dashlane website says Password Changer “is currently available only on Windows, Mac OS X and iOS, and only in the United States, United Kingdom and France,” although many of the listed sites are in other countries.

Dark Web Monitoring performs regular scans for up to five email addresses and notifies you immediately in the event of a breach along with actionable information. It’s a nice addition, akin to the paid BreachWatch feature found on Keeper, and another way for Dashlane to justify its price bump.

Password Health Score

The Password Health Score gives you an overall score along with tabs identifying compromised, reused or weak passwords. You can also toggle to restrict this to “critical accounts” that may contain sensitive personal data.

Password Changer may be able to help correct your previous bad habits, but that is dependent on site-specific support, so your mileage will vary.

Contacts and contains two sections, Sharing Center and Emergency. The first displays any items that you have shared or that have been shared with you. You can share any passwords or secure notes with registered Dashlane users and grant them either limited read-only or full joint-ownership access.
