Wouldn’t be without it

Very easy to use. I remember when you used the same login name and password repetedly and I thoght “all is well”. In this version you find that dashlane will let you know to change repeted passwords or login names. They tell you if your password has been involved in a breach and take you to the website to change it right away. Now the smartest thing to do is to have separate login id’s and passwords. There is no possible way for me to remember them, so Dashlane to the rescue. It can automatically log me in or I can look up my creditentials by going to the store/company/institution name in my search and it shows me both my login and password. I like to add things in notes about other things besides my password, such as the date my subscription will auto-renew so I can cancel on-time or when my special offer for the sattelite service expires so I don’t have a surprise bill, if the customer service representative gave me any additional information I have it recorded there. I can also share my passwords with my husband, so if I’m not around he doesn’t have to panic to pay bills. I guess my only issue is I used to be able to have 3years for the price one year is now and they don’t offer a family deal if your family is two people, where it would be more economic if you had a larger family. I feel I should have been grandfathered in since I was with them at the start and have been loyal to their product.

You need this even if you don’t know it

I can not tell you how much I love Dashlane, I’ve never had a issue, never had a complaint and never want to go without. I have so many accounts it’s impossible for me to keep a secure (not reused) password for them all, until I started using Dashlane. All these years later... I’m still with them 100%. Nothing makes me more happy then having crazy password that even the NSA couldn’t crack. The security of knowing that if any one account gets hacked or compromised, they will not effect any of my other accounts. Looking back I can’t image a life without a password service. Yes it cost money but the stress relief of not worrying and not remembering, makes it so worth it. You literally only need to remember 1 password, the one to sign into Dashlane. You get to have your cake and eat it too. *Update* It has been a while since I first reviewed this app and I know most see a update as they “finally failed” or they fixed serious issues. Honestly, I still use Dashlane daily, I still tell everyone about Dashlane, I’m a very happy customer and I don’t plan to leave anytime soon. All of that being said, I liked the PC application but it has been phased out, it’s in the browser only now. It hasn’t really changed anything, nothing is particularly harder or easier to do but I miss the app because I didn’t have to open the browser.

Dashlane is Password Manager available — currently

I check periodically, and I continue to find Dashlane is the number one or number two password manager in different comparisons. But, when I consider the functions and features, the kind of rapid customer support I receive, and the cost—I use the Premium Family plan, giving me up to six licensed users—there is simply no comparison. Given the number of major hacks annually, and how often those user credentials end up for sale on the Dark Web, the days of keeping your passwords manageable—easily managed, all the same across web sites, have them easy to remember, and/or writing them on sticky notes or a notebook “hidden” near your computer—should be long behind you. Dashlane makes it so easy to keep you passwords unique for every site, and meeting all complexity requirements. They can be sync’d across all devices, logged in using biometrics, and randomly generated using Dashlane. In many websites, they can be automatically entered by the app/extension, without little or no interaction on your part. Especially on the iPhones using FaceID, I don’t have to do anything but look at my phone—amazing!! And sharing them with friends and family couldn’t be easier. I can recommend them highly enough. Best product available for several years now—nothing would make be changed.

How to import passwords into Dashlane

By Ste Smith • 12:00 pm, June 18, 2018

Dashlane screenshot

This post is brought to you by Dashlane.

If you’re not using a password manager, you really should be. While it might seem daunting to stop relying on iCloud Keychain or a web browser like Safari, it’s really easy to step up your online security with a password manager like Dashlane , the official password manager of Cult of Mac .

In fact, it’s incredibly simple to import all your passwords into Dashlane. It’s the first step toward taking true control of your passwords — and in today’s video, I’m going to show you how.

Please enable JavaScript

Humix

The first thing you need to do is download and install the Dashlane app from the App Store. You can use the app for free on one device: Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc. For the above video, I used the Mac.

After you’ve downloaded and installed Dashlane, you’ll be prompted to create an account. Once you set up your master password and get up and running, you can add an extension to your browser.

Whether you use Safari, Chrome or FireFox, you’ll find a compatible browser extension. This lets your web browser talk to the Dashlane app to easily sync all your passwords and other sensitive data like credit card numbers.

Once that’s all set up, you’ll see a little Dashlane icon at the top of your browser. It lights up to let you know it’s working and you’re logged in. Then you can begin importing passwords into Dashlane from your web browser and any other password managers you might currently use.

How to import passwords into Dashlane on Mac

On a Mac, there are three different ways to add your passwords to Dashlane.

The first way is to import them straight from your browser. This is super-easy to do, thanks to the browser extension you just installed. In the Dashlane Mac app, simply go to File > Import , then choose which browser you’d like to pull your passwords from. If you use multiple browsers, you can go to All browsers and get them all in one go.

The second way to import passwords into Dashlane works if you’re already using another password manager such as 1Password or LastPass. First, head to your old password manager and figure out how to export the passwords. Save them to your desktop or wherever you can locate them easily.

Go back to the Dashlane app, go to File > Import , and select your old password manager from the list. It’s as simple as that. (Don’t forget to delete the password file you exported, though — that’s not something you want sitting on your desktop forever.)

The final way to get your passwords into the app is much slower. Once Dashlane is set up, it will automatically save your passwords the next time you log in to a website. You’ll be adding passwords one at a time.

More than just a password manager

After you’ve got your passwords in Dashlane, you can use software’s vaunted Security Dashboard to run a quick checkup on your online security. It will root out weak or reused passwords, identify sites you use that have experienced security breaches, and generally make it safe for you to go about your business online.

After that, if you want all those beefed-up passwords on all your devices, you can upgrade to Dashlane premium. That will sync your passwords across all your devices, whether that’s MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, PCs or whatever.

One of the things I find most helpful about Dashlane is that it lets you keep all your passwords organized. That’s essential for me, as I’m always resetting them. You can change the name of a password from the default title in the app to something personalized. That can make searching within the Dashlane app easier. You can also set different passwords for various subdomains of a particular website, which can prove very helpful in certain situations.

My personal favorite feature is the Security Dashboard. I love being able to see just how bulletproof all my passwords are, and having the option to easily update them to something more secure all from one simple interface.

As mentioned, you can download the Dashlane app for free on one device or go premium and unlock all of the features.

How to Use Dashlane: Step-by-Step Guide

Your email has been sent

Image of Luis Millares

Dashlane is a well-known password manager that offers a good mix of high-quality security and an intuitive user experience.

In this article, we walk you through how to set up Dashlane, how to use it and how you can maximize its features for your organization.

How to set up and use Dashlane

Best ways to use dashlane for your business, how to ensure you’re maximizing dashlane capabilities, recommended alternative password managers, featured partners, 1 uniqkey - business password manager.

Uniqkey - Business Password Manager

  • Decide on a Dashlane subscription.
  • Set up the web app and browser extension.
  • Use Dashlane.

Decide on a Dashlane subscription

Dashlane offers three subscription tiers: Free, Personal and Professional plans ( Figure A ). Under Personal, you have the option for an Individual Premium plan for one user and a Friends and Family plan that covers 10 users.

In our hands-on review, Dashlane earned a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5. Check out the full Dashlane review here .

Screenshot of Dashlane subscriptions

On the Professional side, there’s a Starter subscription for 10 seats and a Business option with unlimited seats. Like most subscription tiers, these plans offer differences in included features depending on the subscription type.

I would recommend downloading Dashlane’s Free version first. This lets you try Dashlane’s flavor of password management without giving any credit information or paying an initial fee.

As of November 2023, Dashlane Free users will only be able to store up to 25 logins in their vault. Therefore, you may need to opt for a paid subscription once you go over the allowed number of credentials.

Screenshot of downloading Dashlane extension.

To get Dashlane’s free version, click on the “Try it free” button under Dashlane Premium and you’ll be redirected to a download page for Dashlane’s browser extension ( Figure B ).

Set up the web app and the browser extension

Once the extension is installed on your browser, Dashlane will bring you to its web application and ask for an email to try their service for free ( Figure C ).

Screenshot of entering an email address for Dashlane.

Afterwards, Dashlane will ask you to provide a master password ( Figure D ). Make sure to keep a record of your master password, as this unlocks all the passwords you’ll eventually store in your vault. In theory, this will be the only password you have to make up on your own.

Screenshot of master password for Dashlane.

Because Dashlane operates on a zero-knowledge architecture, it doesn’t have access to any of your data—including your master password. If you forgot your master password and weren’t able to set a recovery method, you may need to reset your account.

Using Dashlane

Once you provide your master password, you’ll be directed to the web app’s main dashboard, and you will then officially have your own Dashlane account.

Screenshot of Dashlane welcome page.

Of course, a password manager’s main purpose is to securely store passwords. While you can create individual logins within Dashlane, the more traditional way to use a password manager is through a normal sign up process.

To illustrate, let’s say we want to sign up and create an account in HubSpot. Once you reach their sign up page, you’ll see that Dashlane’s logo can be found within the email input box.

Screenshot of Dashlane in sign up pages.

If you click on it, a pop-up window will appear and show the email associated with your Dashlane account.

Screenshot of generating a password for Dashlane.

For the password phase, Dashlane automatically generates a random password according to your preferred configurations. You can set it to have a combination of letters, digits, symbols and set it to generate a password of up to 40 characters. At default, Dashlane generates a password with 16 characters.

After selecting the generated password, you can save it and Dashlane automatically stores it in your password vault ( Figure H ) alongside your other passwords. This vault holds all your credentials, usernames, passwords and other login information.

Screenshot of Dashlane password vault.

At this point, you’re officially storing your passwords with Dashlane! However, there are a few steps I highly recommend you do at this stage for housekeeping purposes.

  • Set up 2FA : I highly suggest you set up 2-factor authentication, or 2FA. This is accessible via My account → Settings → Security settings → 2-factor authentication.

This adds an additional layer of security as toggling this on will have Dashlane ask you for a 6-digit code before gaining access to your Dashlane vault. This code will be sent either to your email, mobile number, an authenticator app and other options.

You can set 2FA to either require the token whenever a new device logs in to your Dashlane account or every time you log in to Dashlane.

  • Set up an account recovery method : This can be accessed by going to My account → Settings → Security settings → Account recovery.

Dashlane gives you the option to set a recovery key that lets you access your vault if you forget your master password or have biometric recovery on Dashlane’s mobile application. This acts as a safety net in the event you lose access to your account or forget your master password.

If you encounter any issues with Dashlane, you can check out their support website and their knowledge base articles and guides. You can also contact a Dashlane agent on their Customer Support website during their available hours, which are from 9AM to 6PM EST. Email and chat support will only be available for paid Dashlane users, beginning December 7, 2023 .

Dashlane checks all the boxes in terms of fundamental password manager features: encrypting and securely storing passwords, easy password generation and auto filling in sign up pages. Fortunately, Dashlane comes with other interesting features that can improve your business’ day-to-day operations and overall security.

Checking password health across accounts

Dashlane has a Password Health feature that scores passwords into three categories: compromised, reused or weak. This will allow users and organizations to flag passwords that may need to be changed, given their higher risk of being hacked.

This is also a great way to check on older passwords that may need to be updated based on their strength.

Monitoring for involvement in data breaches

Another way businesses can use Dashlane is through its Dark Web Monitor. Dashlane’s Dark Web Monitor alerts users if any data or security breach affects them in any way.

It sends security alerts to users when one of their recently used apps or sites is involved in a security breach. It also scans the dark web to see if any malicious actor has illegally accessed their information, alerting the user if any password found on the dark web matches their master password.

Have a handy record of passwords

In the event you want to retrieve a password, Dashlane offers a nifty Password History tool that automatically stores passwords. The cool thing is that these passwords don’t have to be saved as a login, as Dashlane keeps a record of any password you make or any password it generates.

Dashlane’s Password History can be useful for users who accidentally close a window when creating a new login or if a new password doesn’t seem to work because of a typographical error that goes unnoticed.

Having Dashlane is a significant step toward protecting your passwords and other credentials, but there are a few things you can do to maximize its capabilities.

  • Make sure Dashlane’s browser extension is pinned for easy access to Dashlane as you browse through websites, apps, and services. This means you don’t have to open Dashlane’s web application whenever you need to access your password vault or are about to create new logins.
  • Download Dashlane’s companion mobile apps for access to your passwords and logins from the convenience of your smartphone. Having the mobile Dashlane app also allows you to save new logins created within apps or your phone’s browser.
  • Check out Dashlane’s business plans to customize your Dashlane experience for your business’ needs. Dashlane offers specialized professional plans that can cater to both small businesses or larger organizations.

While Dashlane is a quality password manager in its own right, there are other options if, after further review , you feel it’s not for you. Three password managers I recommend you check out are Bitwarden, 1Password and NordPass.

Bitwarden logo.

Bitwarden is a great option for those looking for a free and fully-functional password manager. It has a generous free version that allows for unlimited password storage and an unlimited number of usable devices—a stark contrast to Dashlane’s free version that only allows 25 stored passwords.

1Password logo.

Another secure password management service is 1Password. It comes with built-in phishing protection, automatic locking to ward off visual hackers and password security scoring. Similar to Dashlane, it also operates on the military-grade 256-bit AES encryption.

NordPass logo.

For fans of the Nord suite of security products, NordPass may be for you. Nord offers plans for both individual users and businesses. It has a more affordable starting price of $1.69 per month for its Premium individual plan compared to Dashlane’s comparable subscription at $3.33.

Dashlane no longer is working with Safari which is a huge loss for me. Can anyone else get it to work?

Dashlane is no longer working with Safari, due to the updates. This is a huge loss for me and is sending me to use another browser. Did anyone find a way to restore its functionality on Safari?

  • Ready to completely give up on Safari 15 Since upgrading to macOS Monterey on my MacBook Pro (2020, 13"), the performance—and, frankly, the most basic aspects of usability—of Safari have gradually gone downhill. On any given work day with Safari 15.2, I have no choice but to switch Google Chrome at least 10 times a day. Simply put, pages won't load in Safari, or pages do not perform correctly in Safari. And I'm not just talking about one here or one there... There are features about Safari that I love...and I should note that I've never had this type of problem with Safari on my iPhone. But it doesn't make much sense to constantly switch back and forth between browsers. Is this an issue with web developers not making commercial sites compatible with Safari? I might have believed that in 2020...but given the number of ugly, bug-ridden stumbles that I've seen across my entire Apple ecosystem since last summer, my guess is that Safari 15 was released before it was ready. I mean, they actually released a new flagship product with the notch covering up the menu bar! Any thoughts? More importantly, any fixes that people are using to keep Safari 15 going? Yesterday, I went to a site, it gave the me the same post-login blank components mid-screen that it always does on Safari, and out of frustration, I hit reload, then did it again, then did it again. Damned if the site didn't load on the fourth attempt. (Note: this is most definitely NOT a resource issue on my machine...the monitor I have in my dock showed me that I had plenty of resources available.) 734 3

My OS is on the latest version of Big Sur and I cannot find a useful solution anywhere on the web.

Try the steps here to see if they resolve the issue: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support

"These solutions are for issues that can affect Safari on Mac, including issues such as these:

  • A webpage is blank, doesn't load all of its content, or otherwise doesn't work as expected.
  • You can't sign in to a webpage, despite using the correct sign-in information.
  • A webpage asks you to remove or reset cookies.
  • Safari slows down, stops responding, or quits unexpectedly.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad, learn about  solutions for Safari on iPhone and iPad .

Reload the page

From the menu bar in Safari, choose View > Reload Page. Or press Command-R.

If Safari doesn't reload the page, quit Safari, then try again. If Safari doesn't quit, you can press Option-Command-Esc to  force Safari to quit .

If Safari automatically reopens unwanted pages, quit Safari, then press and hold the Shift key while opening Safari.  Learn how to control which windows Safari automatically reopens .

Install software updates and restart

Update macOS , which can include updates for Safari. If your Mac didn't restart automatically, choose Apple menu  > Restart. Some important  background updates  take effect only after restarting.

Check Safari extensions

If you installed any Safari extensions, turn extensions off. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Click Extensions, then deselect each extension to turn it off.  Learn more about Safari extensions .

If you find that an extension is causing the issue, make sure that the extension is up to date.

Test with a private window 

A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window: From the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.

If that works, use the following steps to remove the website's data, including its caches and cookies. The website can then create new data as needed. If it's a website that you sign in to, make sure that you know your sign-in information before continuing.

  • Choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences), then click Privacy.
  • Click Manage Website Data.
  • Select the affected website from the list shown.
  • Click Remove.
  • Click Done.
  • Open the website again in a non-private browser window.

Check Safari settings

  • Privacy settings . These settings apply to all websites. For example, a website might require that you allow cross-site tracking, show your IP address, or allow cookies.
  • Security settings . These settings apply to all websites. For example, a website might require that you enable JavaScript.
  • Websites settings . These settings can be configured for specific websites. For example, a website might require that you allow pop-up windows, allow downloads, allow access to your camera or microphone, or turn off content blockers.

Check iCloud Private Relay

If you subscribe to iCloud+ and are using its Private Relay feature, try reloading the page without Private Relay: From the menu bar in Safari, choose View > Reload and Show IP Address. This menu item appears only when Private Relay is turned on for your network.  Learn more about iCloud Private Relay .

Check VPN or other security software

If you installed VPN or other software that monitors or interacts with your network connections, that software could affect your use of the website or the internet.  Learn about network issues related to VPN and other software . 

Check network settings

Certain network settings, such as custom  proxy settings  or custom  DNS settings , can affect access to content on the internet. Even if you haven't changed these or other network settings yourself, you might have installed software that changed them for you. 

To find out whether the issue is with the network settings on your Mac, try viewing the page from a different web browser or different device on the same network. Or reset your network settings by  setting up a new network location  on your Mac.

If the issue affects other devices and web browsers on the same network, the issue is probably with the website, and you should contact the website developer for help. 

  • If the issue continues to affect only a particular webpage, contact the website developer for help."

We hope this helps.

I totally understand. I have been using Dashlane for the past 6 years on my Safari browser. Now I mostly moved to Chrome, but it is consuming battery a lot. Sad! Maybe I will have to look out for other password manager support Safari. Let me know if you moved out of Dashlane and using other good managers.

Dashlane acknowledge there is a problem with autofill in Safari. They say Safari users will be "the first to know" once they have a fix. However that was two months ago. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I would say that is far too long.

What it does not do is inspire confidence.

Since, this issue is with third party software, we recommend you reach out to the developer for assistance with their software in Safari. This article shows you how to contact them:

If you don't need cross-platform support, you might want to look at Keychain. I used to use LastPass but, after they had one too many privacy breaches, I stopped. I use Keychain almost exclusively.

Sorry, but this is not about accessing websites but using Dashlane, a password manager with the updated Safari.

The Best Browser Extensions for Digital Privacy

""

If eyes are the window to the soul, browsers are the window to, well, everything on the internet. But that window goes both ways-leaving it open means your information is vulnerable to "bad actors" and hackers. Luckily, there are ways to put the virtual curtain up, so to speak, and protect your digital privacy. Is anyone else getting tired of this metaphor?

While there's not just one catch-all browser extension to safeguard your online privacy, using the following tools all in conjunction can boost your confidentiality online.

The different ways a browser extension can help with your online privacy:

To block ads: Not only does blocking ads make your browser work faster by using less bandwidth, it also protects you from malware and ads that hand over your data to developers and advertisers. Not to mention an online experience sans ads is more enjoyable.

The best ad blocker extension: AdBlock Plus What it works on: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Android, iOS Why it's the best: It's free and open source, meaning it can be distributed and the source code can be modified. They also allow "Acceptable Ads," which are ads that are unobtrusive and don't inhibit your ability to view content on a webpage. For certain sites that rely on ads for revenue, this makes it so everyone wins, especially if you care to see that site succeed. AdBlock Plus also prevents any third parties from tracking your activity by only allowing Acceptable Ads without third-party tracking. Overall, the extension provides a better and safer online experience.

To manage cookies: Cookies track your activity when you browse a site. They are essentially messages sent from the website to your browser in the form of small text files, and can determine which pages on a site are visited most often. If you provide information to a site and return to that site, cookies will make it so you don't need to fill out the information all over again. But only the page that created the cookies can read those files, so an outside server will not be able to access the information collected on a site through cookies. As you may have noticed, websites often ask you to "accept cookies," meaning you're opting in to let them store those text files. Cookies may be gathered from the site itself, from banner ads, or social "buttons." Social buttons are third-party cookies, and can be "dropped" onto your computer to track your activity all over the internet.

The best extension for managing cookies: Cookie AutoDelete What it works on: Chrome, Firefox Why it's the best: This extension automatically clears your cookies, except for the ones you've whitelisted. (You might want to keep certain cookies so you don't lose progress on a form or an interactive game, for example.) The cookies can be deleted without having to clear your entire browser, so you don't have to start from scratch. It's an easy way to browse safely, and faster.

To encrypt your searches: When it comes to encrypting your internet searches, the answer doesn't lie with an extension, but instead is dependent on the search engine you use or your browser.

The best search engine for encrypting searches: Tor What it works on: Windows, OS X, Linux, Android Why it's the best: Tor routes your browsing through a chain of computers, reinforces your anonymity and keeps your activity private. This may cause some websites to not work at all, for example if they rely on your IP address being visible. It also slows down searches because of all the steps it's taking to get you around the internet, and websites may ask you to prove that you're not a robot.

The best browser for encrypted searches: The best browser for privacy's sake might not be the one you're using-we're looking at you Chrome users. FireFox and Safari, however, have both made a concerted effort to improve their built-in privacy features, and Safari supposedly has a new update coming soon to make things even more secure-TBD. Learn more about Dashlane's password manager with Safari .

Ghostery. is another highly lauded privacy browser, especially for its Ghostery Midnight extension which, like Dashlane Premium, has a built-in VPN that both hides your IP address and encrypts your web activity. Learn more about everything a VPN does to help keep you secure online.

To make your activity on websites more secure: HTTPS is a form of encryption available on many websites to protect users' privacy. (HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol: the '§' stands for Secure.) This encryption is your best defense against your information being stolen, such as personal info you enter onto a website.

The best browser extension for website security: HTTPS Everywhere What it works on: Firefox, Chrome, and Opera (it's automatically included in Tor and Brave browsers) Why it's the best: With the extension installed, your activity on most major websites will be encrypted. It works around sites that default to or reroute to unencrypted pages.

To securely store your passwords: If all your cookies are deleted but you don't want the hassle of reentering information, you can store your passwords and personal info in a password manager extension on your browser. Of course, we recommend Dashlane, which works on Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Linux, and Chromebook. Dashlane's password storage is unlimited on our Premium plans and works across multiple devices. Dashlane also uses industry- leading security. architecture so that we never see or transmit your data-only you have access. We also have a patent to prove that your information is secure in the Dashlane extension.

To bring back our tortured metaphor: It's great to be able to keep your digital "windows" open. The tools above just give you a screen for stopping the bugs.
