Dashlane - Password Manager App Reviews

Easy to use and great looking UI makes it a pleasure to use. Also works with Chrome to fill in passwords and personal info when required (optional). Not sure why anyone would spend money on password software when this is free.

Very useful app, Design is beautiful and the utility organization is a 5 starts.

Very handy, especially if you have poor memory like i do

It’s really handy.Always with me.Thanks!

The app itself is great. Works just as advertised and simplifies the hassle of online passwords. It’s very hard for me to score because I have one big problem with it, which most people won’t share. The app does not work with Opera, my preferred web browser. It’s pretty niche admittedly, but at the end of the day I had to switch to Chrome because of Dashlane. And I’m not thrilled by that. TLDR: App is great, needs work with browsers other than Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Chrome plugin often causes the browser to behave in a strange way — it becomes unresponsive but not entirely, e.g. requires a couple of mouse clicks (instead of one) to follow a link or use a button. Extremely annoying. Other than that, fantastic.

And thats on late 2013 MacBookPro.

I love it, but there is a HUGE bug. When you launch the app, Chrome becomes inactive and you have to launch it again.

Really great app, but support is deaf to my problems: - I can’t add my 18-digits credit card, there is only support for standart 16-digits cards - Often crashes on quick searches … and that’s all. Anyway, the app is awesome.

On my mac mini working fine, but when I connect external SSD drive and install new Mac Os on it, I launch Dashlane and try to import secure backup - it doesn`t work. And now I cant figure out - how get access to my passwords. Safari browser extention didn`t installed too - error.

Seriously. The first time I saw this update, I liked it. Now... It just hangs in my taskbar but shows nothing.

Where built-in password generator and sometimes i can not open app main window.

I WON’T EVER AGAIN BUY A PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT OFFER PHONE SUPPORT. I have been struggling for 2 days trying to get DashLane to work again. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but to no avail. I could not install the browser extension, so I was looking for the problem. It’s so cumbersome, time-wasting, and INEFFECTIVE to use email for customer support!!! They don’t even offer live chat. Waiting 24 hours for a wrong answer is just not acceptable in this day and age. I made a terrible mistake choosing Dashlane for my passwords. Now, they are all lost. The instructions send to me DO NOT MATCH WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE ON SCREEN WHEN YOU TRY AND FOLLOW THEM. I’ve requested a full refund for the premium version. I will post their answer after one is received (if it is received).

This is an initial reivew on an app that I just download in the last week. I’m happy with the apps ability to do, IMHO what a password manager is suppose to do, manage your passwords in a secure and easy way. My frustrations are really two things. I’m trying to switch from Keeper and have a pretty extensive list of passwords and secrets I’d like to import. Via the website the instructions say I should be able to do this but it appears that the version published via the app store (4.1.0) is behind a rev. or two so it doesn’t currently have the “import from CSV” option. Secondly, the feature that allows you to have dashlane provide the username/password for a given website doesn’t work with many of the sites I use. This is especially disappointing because using Keeper and/or just the normal browser password manager does work :( I’m still working to get past these limitation but as of right now this apps inability to simply supply the correct username/password combination for the sites I usually go to is making it app a non-starter. I would not recommend using it.

I have been paying for and using Dashlane for years. Have loved it. Most recent version 4.1.0 for OSX on el Capitan is a disaster. When you are using the app, it immediately starts leaking memory and you’ll find Dashlane using 5Gb of your memory — that’s right, Gb! This will slow your computer to a crawl. It will also cause your energy usage to go crazy — which will spin up your fans and drain your laptop battery at an alarming rate. You can watch this all play out in Activity Monitor. This was brought to their attention very shortly after 4.1.0 came out and there is still no patch. My advice — WAIT before you download this for your Mac. That said, up until now, Dashlane has been great and the iOs apps are still rock solid. This Mac app version, though, is not. Also, don’t waste your time uninstalling and installing from the web download vs the app store — both have the same problem and you’ll just waste your time.

Dashlane eliminates the need to keep (and find) scraps of paper with your logins and passwords. Premium service is worth it for the syching if you use it on multiple devices that are not kept together. If you cannot afford premium service, put all of your logins and passwords in right away so they can be synched during the 30-day trial period (if that is still the way it works for new users); then you can just update each device as you accumulate new logins. I once had a problem during a major app update, and Customer Service took care of my problem after I had submitted a trouble ticket.

I saw all the buzz about this app and decided to give it a try. I couldn’t believe a product that seemed to be so well built was actually free. And then I saw it… the prompts to, uh, you know… BUY it! Why in the world would I want to pony up $40 EVERY SINGLE YEAR to own this app when I can buy 1Password once and be done with it??!! So this “free” app will actually cost me $400 over the next 10 years. Geez, for that kind of money, it better come with a free vacation or something! Still, I wanted to give Dashlane a fair shake, so I began populating it with my data, I installed the required browser add-on, and gave it a whirl. I didn’t even get past the very first online form before I realized how inferior this app is. In other similar apps, I can tap one simple shortcut key on any web form and instantly see all the fields populated without ever having to take my fingers off the keyboard. But in Dashlane, there is no shortcut key. Nope. Instead, they make you grab your mouse and locate the tiny little deer icon (or whatever the heck it’s supposed to be), then click on that, and then click on the dropdown window that appears to actually populate the fields. Really?? And exactly HOW does that save me time over simply pressing “Cmd " ??? Oh that’s right, it DOESN’T!!! Maybe they should calculate all that wasted time, add it up, and subtract it from the 50 hours a year they say Dashlane will save me. It would net out to zero! Not sure what all the hype is about, but this app just got shredded in AppZapper.

This time I have two things to say about, that could be better: 1. When you’re saving automatically the user and password, it could have another field to choose other than e-mail. It could say “Username or E-mail” 2. Could it be a little more cheap? lolol Just a little more… Congrats for the soft… awesome the option to export!!!!! You guys rock!

Dashlane is an amazing must have application for everybody who forgets their passwords. Dashlane has the amazing auto fill.

This is the first password manager that I have used. I am not dissapointed. I like that my passwords are stored locally, not on the cloud. Also, the option to generate super secure passwords is great. Some of my old bank passwords I hadn’t changed in nearly a decade. Glad to have found this software.
