Dashlane 5 - The password manager built for everyone to use everywhere
by•
Dashlane is the password manager known for its simplicity and beautiful UI - now with a full-featured browser extension and web app, it is far easier to get started and take the hassle out of passwords and online forms. Dashlane 5 adds Linux (Chrome & Firefox), Chromebook and Edge support!
I really hope you will like this new version of our product. Dashlane 5 is not packed with new features. Rather, it is packed with improvements, simplifications, and a few new tricks that we know are valuable for our users. I wrote the full story behind that release if you are interested: https://medium.com/@alexisfogel/....
And of course, looking forward to hearing your feedback/questions.
@alexisfogel "Dashlane 5 is not packed with new features." That's refreshing. Nice.

Is there any way to get TouchID to actually work when you have two-factor enabled? I've had it prompt me for my thumb maybe twice ever, because it forgets my device so quickly I need to enter a security code nearly every time I need to use the app. Other than that, love the product!
@scaasic We know this is an issue right now.
The tricky thing, is that when you have 2FA enabled at each login the security lies in the fact that your own master password is only _half_ of the secret needed to decrypt your vault; the other half is stored on our servers and is released only when you provide the correct OTP.
Storing the server held sercret on your device would compromise the security of the feature.

@damienrajon understood, that makes sense! Would there be any way to still require the OTP but then use TouchID in place of my long master password? That’s the bigger time sink right now.
Thanks for the response :)
@clarkvalberg Thanks Clark, that means a lot considering how great InVision's UX is.

I am a Dashlane user sinceseveral years now and a paid customer since last year and I highly recommend it.
Dashlane really simplifies and secures my life. I have many accounts so having different passwords is essential 👍
From watching the video showing what’s new, I now can’t wait to try the new version 👍
Great job Dashlane team ! 👏
I've used pretty much every password management tool out there and as someone who is using multiple devices on different OSs, Dashlane is excellent. Customer support is great, the product just works and kept me same from Equifax 😅
Pros:
Supports both Mac & Windows, iOS & Android, Security Dashboard too auto update passwords, secure notes, great chrome extension
I love dashlane, and have been using it for years. I'd love for an iOS keyboard. My biggest pain is filling in passwords on mobile, it requires leaving one app, launching dashlane, authenticating, finding the password, copying it, going back to the app I want to input the PW into and then praying it allows paste in the password field.
I can haz?
@shaun_springer Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow custom keyboard on secure fields such as passwords :( , that's the reason we don't have one.
@alexisfogel couldn't it just be a quick way to lookup the credentials without leaving the app? I get that it might not allow completing the fields. Great product regardless!

@shaun_springer@alexisfogel same here but on Android. Security > Comfort for me so I'm still a happy premium user.
@shaun_springer Yes we experimented with the idea of having a keyboard that would just display/let you copy the pwd. But not easy because you have to handle authentication and search... But we are working on others ways and I agree that this is something we need to solve on mobile.
This is easily my favourite service. I've recommended to everyone and find it a life saver.

I've used every password manager on the market, and finally settled with Dashlane. I got the 5 year plan, because it's so awesome. It works well, and I really have nothing bad o say about it at all, other than he Chrome extension being buggy and you need a small workaround to install on Chromium based browsers like Vivaldi. But I highly recommend it. I don't know why it isn't more popular.
Pros:
Stable, non-intrusive, has everything I need, works well out of the box, payments, passwords, and more. Super product.
Dashlane is really bittersweet. Half the time, it's like "wow that was cool" and the other half it actually makes it harder to login to anything. After a while it just gets laughable how often the system screws up and fills a clearly marked form "phone" with your name. Or how it can't handle 2 forms on a page and will rewrite each one when you use it. Or when it autogenerates a password but then can't bring it up later because the login runs at a sub domain.
I hope this new version fixes a lot of the headscratchers they had before. 😬 A lot of potential, but just bug ridden
