Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dashlane free?

high

Dashlane is free to download, but the free version has significant limitations, according to user reviews. Users report a limited number of passwords on local storage. All premium features like syncing, dark web monitoring, and VPN require a subscription ranging from $3.49 to $194.99 per item. Multiple recent reviewers expressed frustration that the free version is too restrictive.

Does Dashlane still have a desktop app?

medium

Based on recent user reviews, Dashlane switched from a dedicated desktop app to a web-only experience via browser extension. This change was not well-received by some long-time users, who describe the browser extension as 'clumsy' and 'not easy to use'. At least two recent reviewers cite this switch as a major reason for their dissatisfaction.

Why can't I log into Dashlane?

medium

Some users have reported login issues. One recent reviewer described getting 'You are offline' or 'Cannot connect to server' errors after being logged out. Another reviewer could not log in because their device was declared 'too old to support'. If you experience login problems, check your internet connection and ensure your device runs Android 10 or newer, as required by the app.

Is Dashlane safe to use?

medium

Dashlane is a well-established app with over 240,000 reviews and a 4.5-star rating. The app's description highlights a 'zero-knowledge security architecture' and features like dark web monitoring and phishing alerts. However, no user reviews in the sample explicitly praise its security, and the sample is too small to draw conclusions on this topic.

How to Use

Dashlane is a password manager that syncs, auto-fills, and generates passwords across devices while offering security features like dark web monitoring and a VPN with a premium subscription. (app_description)

Getting Started

Source: app_description_and_metadata

Download the Dashlane app from the Google Play Store and install it on your Android device (version 10 or higher required).
Create a Dashlane account with a strong master password. This master password is your key to access all your stored data.

Install the Dashlane browser extension on your desktop browser for autofill on websites, if desired. Note that some recent users find this experience 'clumsy'.

Great on mobile app, terrible on desktop. I don't like it have to use the browser extension. it's clumsy and not easy to use. I'm a long time dashlane customer but this is a show stopper for me. It's very difficult to update passwords for some sites. They took something that was easy to use and me it very cumbersome. I end up having to email passwords from my phone to my desktop. you shouldn't have to do that.

Good but to many free options out there. I used it until they starting limiting the free version. Just a basic password manager. Not worth buying when there's other free apps that do the same. Worked good while I used it. also, in order to delete your account, you have to download and install an extension to your browser on a computer. I want to delete things, not install more.

Declared my device too old to support, I'm unable to login as a result. Went from "as many passwords as you like" for free, to "limited passwords", to "pay us or we delete your passwords" There is no way to login anywhere but the app and since support for my device was dropped with NO WARNING, not only are my passwords inaccessible, but I can't even ask them to delete my account. Utter dogshit. Glad I copied my stuff elsewhere before they blindsided me. Data loss like this is inexcusable.

The free version quickly renders itself useless. Limited number of passwords on local storage, really? Some people don't have money to blow on things that aren't entirely necessary. Those people should still be taken care of for the sake of reputation and mass adoption, right? Not according to Dashlane apparently. It's like they forgot what the purpose of the app is. Secure. Passwords. Keep all the other features locked behind a paywall, that's fine, just let me have more passwords.

Firstly, not a fan of the switch from desktop app to web only. If it ain't broke.... Secondly, around the same time as the switch was made, my mobile app logged me out (first time in two years). Now I get "You are offline" or "Cannot connect to server" errors when I try to log in. Been around and around with support for two weeks. New update didn't fix the issue. Would be less annoying if my mobile app and web were synced, but apparently that wasn't working properly. Locked out of some apps now
