Dashlane

I subscribed to Dashlane yesterday, paid one month's fees then attempted to join. I had tried months ago but found it too complicated. This time I had forgotten my master password and went round in circles under guidance trying to solve this issue, always without success. I conclude that only auto replies handle complaints at Dashlane, not people. I do not know much about computers or passwords, but if you want to deal with a human, go elsewhere. Forget Dashlane.

I used Dashlane a few years back. It was good, but it often got in my face trying to fill out things I neither needed nor wanted filling out. I wearied of struggling with it and switched first to Sticky Password and then to LastPass. Sticky and LastPass are good too. LastPass is better than Sticky.

Then I read somewhere that a newer version of Dashlane was superlative. I went back and gave it a run. I was impressed. That was about two months ago. I think that some of its shenanigans when I first used it were my fault. I did not have the settings done as I would have preferred. This time I'm taking more care with it.

I have tried a number of password managers in addition to Dashlane, Sticky and LastPass. The others were culled almost immediately. No password manager is perfect. They all have their glitches, but at this moment I'm putting Dashlane at the top of the stack. I'm happy with it.

Dashlane, changing passwords deletes email address
I did already write but no reply?
I changed my password for the 3 email accounts
After not able to login all day yesterday for one.
Then today for other 2.
Something in your software is not functioning? SEE ATTACHED, the 2nd 1 is yesterday.
I had to wait 24 hrs to get back my email from.com
This is no joke for me.

Since I provided the first update my experience with Dashlane only went down hill.
I contacted customer service, again, and explained the problems I was having.

They provided me with a very lengthy process to delete Dashlane and all the files the program wrote to my system from my computer. It was no small task based on the number and complexity of the steps. Then I was supposed to have reloaded Dashlane and start over. Ridiculous.

I opted out of that plan and now m using a different provider which is much more reliable. I should have ditched Dashlane after the first review I made. It caused issues and was unreliable from the beginning.

With Dashlane I have organized my login credentials, generated strong passwords, and sync them in the app on devices at work and home. When I first installed it I took the opportunity to review the dozens of website logins. I now have unique, strong passwords for over 300 different logins. (I didn't even know I had 300 accounts...) I am happy to break free from Chrome and Safari, as Dashlane works with all browsers on my computer as well as on my iPhone. Further, I have installed the dark web monitoring which alerts me to change passwords when a site has a data breach. I've received about a dozen alerts in a year, but my passwords were already stronger than what they were before. Having such well organized passwords gives me peace fo mind.

I've been using Dashlane for almost six months now and I'm satisfied with it. It really helped me a lot. I've joined many websites and needed something to help me organize my usernames/passwords and I found Dashlane perfect for the job. It runs in the background, I have the possibility of creating my own password or it can generate one for me and it alarms me if the passwords I chose are too weak. Overall, I'll continue using it since it really did help me a lot.

This is one of two major password saving websites (lastpass is the other). I prefer this to lastpass because I found lastpass confusing to use. On the other hand, Dashlane is very simple - you download the plugin and it starts to save your login and passwords as you go to various websites. You can even have dashlane automatically log in when you go to the website. It is free and there is a charge for the premium service. Definitely worth checking out as internet privacy is becoming a larger issue!

Been paid user for almost a year, not a great service, the login pop-up tends to stay stuck, when signing up- for example this site. Wish they would drop the VPN and drop the price.

I have owned Dashlane both as a iPhone and on my Windows 10 desktop (two computers).

Pros: Ultimately works, but not without a ton of hassle.

Cons:
1) Want IMHO a high fee to sync passwords across platforms or multiple computers.
2) Too complicated. They got cutesy with the security - you have to log in upon boot/startup, and again every time you switch browsers or tabs, computer sleeps, etc. The level of security should be customize-able.
3) Once you HAVE ALREADY SIGNED INTO YOUR MASTER ACCOUNT, Dashlane still hides passwords from view. Sometimes you can click an eyeball icon to reveal your password, but sometimes that doesn't work. There is no need for this extra step since there is no real security involved.
4) Dashlane often accepts duplicates. I have to periodically go through and weed out extras.
5) Dashlane often repeats requests to "help out" and fill in passwords, even if this is not desired.
6) The interface is not clean, can be confusing.
7) The interface needs to be customize-able to a greater degree to make it easier - some sites accept an account name, some a login id, some an email address. You only get one confusing label with Dashlane.

The bottom line is that I never would have purchased Dashlane if I had known what I was getting. But... I have it now. I wish Dashlane would allow features to be turned off in a setup page and hide functions. All I really need is a simple encrypted bucket for my iPhone that I can sync back to my computer for archiving from time to time. I don't need autofill, a multitude of complex and unwanted security features, or anything like that - just a place to store passwords so I don't forget. It really is that simple. I need a Dashlane Lite.
