Description
Dashlane is a password manager that helps you manage your online accounts securely and efficiently. Trusted by over 15 million individuals and 20,000 businesses, Dashlane has never experienced a security breach and does not access or sell your data. The browser extension lets you save, autofill, and generate passwords as you browse, while the full web app provides additional tools like password sharing, password health monitoring, and dark web surveillance.
Key Features
- Unlimited Password Storage and Sync: Store an unlimited number of logins in your encrypted vault. Access your passwords and usernames from any device, and sync your data automatically across platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
- Autofill Logins: Dashlane automatically fills in the correct username and password on every website you visit, saving time and reducing login errors. It works seamlessly across sites, so you don't have to remember or type credentials manually.
- Password Generator: When creating a new account or updating a password, the built-in generator creates strong, unique passwords. You can customize length and complexity, and the generated password is automatically saved to your vault.
- Autofill Payments and Personal Info: Complete checkout forms and other online forms with a single click. Store and autofill personal details like name, address, email, phone number, and even sensitive data like Social Security numbers and IDs. Payment information, including credit card numbers and bank account details, is stored with bank-grade encryption.
- Dark Web Monitoring: Sign up for alerts that continuously scan over 20 billion records on the dark web for compromised credentials. If your passwords appear in a data breach, you receive real-time notifications and guidance to change them immediately.
- Password Health Score: The web app provides a dashboard that evaluates the strength and security of your passwords. It identifies weak, reused, or compromised passwords and offers actionable steps to improve your overall security posture.
- Zero-Knowledge Security Architecture: Dashlane uses bank-grade encryption to protect your data. The zero-knowledge architecture ensures that even Dashlane cannot see your stored information, and your data is never sold to third parties.
With Dashlane, you can maintain strong, unique passwords for every account without the hassle of remembering them. The extension integrates directly into your browser, making password management effortless while keeping your digital identity safe and private.
