They missed some vital features

Dashlane is a great password manager, it stores my passwords securely, generates strong passwords for me, checks if I have recurring passwords, checks how secure my passwords are. and it even searches for leaked passwords! What more could you want?
Well ....2 Factor Authentication is a MUST for anyone serious about their security, this paired with a strong password is the perfect combo. Not only does it lack this, IT LACKS THE ABILITY TO MINIMISE POPUPS ON THE BROWSER EXTENSION! This is extremely annoying as it feels as if it forces you to do something. I was not able to see all the options or the fine print for a recent payment due to Dashlane's "Generate a strong password" popup getting in the way, the funny thing is, the field i...Show More

Love it

I've used Dashlane for about 2 years. I was reluctant at first to put all my passwords in one place but now I can't imagine no having Dashlane. I can access my passwords from anywhere with the mobile app or browser. I've purchased the app as gifts too! Easy way to create unique, strong passwords for each site.
2FA is unavailable
Mac User
Please confirm that other leading password managers include 2FA in the Cloud and for this reason, if I lose my cell phone, there is no need to reinstall all 2FA accounts again. This is the major defect. Dashlane should have known this and make this available. A second defect is that Dashlane does not seem to know Traditional Chinese characters for Taiwan when I visit these sites and try to log in with Dashlane passwords.
Priciest Password Manager
Mac User
Unless you get a substantial discount, it's overpriced in the US and it's default settings can make it rather obtrusive.
Sharing/Syncing Sucks
Windows User
Dashlane has been "ok". I say OK only b/c this is a MISSION CRITICAL product and they are kind of flaky with development. I use this with my spouse and we share a ALL passwords. But when one of us updates a password for security reasons, it doesn't sync between shared users. How frustrating is that?
Plus, I saw a button on the Password Health and it said it would update all my passwords automatically to "super-safe". I thought about pressing the button, but then I saw the word "beta" next to it. BETA?? WTF? REALLY??
All my EXTREMELY CRITICAL passwords are going to be updated with something that is in BETA?
I've been in software development for over 25 years. And that's just stupid. Test, Test, and RE-TEST an application that manages peop...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

If this is the best, I'm glad I don't have the worst!

-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!

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.
Does everything, but not the main thing
Windows User
Dashlane is a feature-packed password manager with all the bells and whistles. But it absolutely sucks at the one thing you get password manager for. Its sync is straight horrible. You change the password on one device and it doesn't propagate to your other devices sometimes for half a day! This is very frustrating, especially when using strong auto-generated passwords. I was locked out of my Facebook several times because I changed my password on one PC and my phone and laptop dashlane still remembered only the old one.
