Dashlane is garbage! Don't get it!
Windows User
Never works correctly anymore and now that it's web only it almost never works at all. Constantly logging me out even though I work from home at 1 computer. This company needs to go out of business. My guess is it got bought a few years ago when the logo changed. It's gone downhill since and is now pointless garbage that just gets in the way by trying to fill when I don't need it and doesn't work when I do. Avoid this headache at al cost.

Good luck quitting. I've spent the last couple of hours trying to navigate the obstacle course they put up to keep you from doing that. I use Bitstream and had forgotten about Dashlane until I got my billing notice. The cancellation process doesn't work for me at all.

Not good at all - soon browser only
Windows User
This is not the best and their politics to move 100% to the browser kills it for me.

If this is the best, I'm glad I don't have the worst!
Mac User
-Dashlane's auto-complete is terribly inconsistant from one domain to the next. I often have to manually copy and paste passwords from Dashlane to the website login window.

Sometimes, it doesn't work at all. The only thing I can do is log out, shut down and reboot.

The Password updater is finicky. I often end up just saving new passwords as a new entry, then deleting the old.

The "one-time-code" verification feature will leave you with a pop-over and no other verification to match it to.

Frequent updates means, if there are any issues, you need to back out and check for updates before doing anything else. This is constant!

I hope we can do better soon!

So many issues
Windows User
Firstly i used dashlane free 2 years ago and it was great but then i got 1password for 1 month free and it was great as well but i thought since dashlane is more secure and i found a eye catching discount, i was so happy and got a 1 year plan. I regret it. so many issues : 1. keep me logged in for 14 days after 2 months i contacting them got fixed 2. secure code (2fa) which is build in in dashlane wouldn't autofill. 3. slow customer service and not even that helpful 4. auto-save password only works to some websites while 1password worked magically on every website. 5. payment auto fill also only works on international website while none of websites in my country are supported, on the other side 1password did the autofill so smoothly(however...Show More

Need to update your review!
Windows User
Dashlane is doing away with the desktop app and going to browser extension only.
Dashlane now syncs your data to the cloud without your permission. As a multi-year user of DL free, i was shocked they would do this without any notice to the user. So much for secure data on your local device only.
IMO, they have ruined a decent product...

They sent an email proudly announcing this. So they did inform customers. Unfortunately, after the fact with no recourse so Dashlane should still be avoided.

Non stop issues
Windows User
They are slow with support and there are many issues. I have multiple billings taken from my account and they have been very reluctant to put right. If you can't trust them with $40, how can you trust them with passwords?

No U2F support on iOS
Windows User
I bought Dashlane Premium and a Yubi Key with a lighting port to use with my iPhone. But Dashlane on iOS does not support U2F keys. It is broken.

Major Problems
Windows User
Dashlane makes NUMEROUS duplicates of the same site. You can replicate this problem over and over, proving it's Dashlane. Trying to remove duplicates is difficult and time-consuming. Sync across devices only happens after HARD reboots. (What's the point?) Dashlane does not properly complete credit card cart pages. Card number will populate but not date or Security Code. Dashlane's vault will launch a website every time you try to click on the information about your credentials. Dashlane support eventually answers, but asks questions and wants you to give them graphics, even though you've attached screenshots, which they 'didn't see the first time around.' What a mess. Too bad I paid for a whole year upfront. So yeah, purchase Dashlane at your own risk.

YESSSS!! I forgot to mention this. It is completely un-synced across computer/phone, which creates all sorts of problems. if tht password is wrong and you are on the phone, then you have to reset and save the new one on your phon...Show More

Dashlane needs a proper update
Mac User
I used dashlane couple of years ago the first time, and that is why i changed my password manager from 1password to dashlane this year and sadly the only thing i am satisfied is UI in dashlane compare to 1password. dashlane is facing issue on settings menu which some are missing, like 2fa code auto fill and another issue which brought me here on all my ios devices is my secure notes which what ever i am typing seems invincible and i can’t even copy paste and no it’s not because of the update (to mention it happens 2 out of 3 times)

The vpn is great but that!s not why i got dashlane and they recently fixed another issue which was keep me signed in option for 14 days which wasn’t working for weeks but now it seems find on google chrome. I ...Show More

I am updating my own review About.

Dashlane just released a new update which already fixed some of the issue. like the 2fa code autofill. so i would give them 4 star now.and in long term if they are as smooth as before then probably 5
