The desktop app is protected by a master password which needs to be supplied on start before you are able to access the information.

Links point directly to low safety accounts giving users options to change their passwords on site directly to make them more secure. One interesting feature of the desktop application is the security dashboard, which lists password strength ratings for all accounts. These information can then be filled out automatically whenever you register a new account on a site. The program takes care of multiple identities for you, and if you like also of ID related information and payments that you make on the Internet. Just click in the password field of the registration form, and then on the generate strong password button that appears right beneath it to create a strong password.ĭashlane furthermore can do all the form filling for you, if identity related information have been saved into the program's database previously. You can configure the program to generate strong passwords for you whenever you register new accounts. It is furthermore possible to click into a login form directly to select one of the available accounts for the site. It can fill out login information automatically for you if you have configured it that way, and will automatically ask you if you want to send new logins to the password manager for safe keeping. The browser extension basically acts as a link between the desktop app and the web browser. The program ships with a desktop program that you can use for all management purposes, and a browser extension that handles input and detection in the web browser. It felt kinda weird though that you had to close all browsers, even if you unselected the extension from being installed in them. Installation gives users choice to connect to one, multiple or all of the supported browsers, which is better than Norton's all or nothing approach. Once you have have entered your email address you are redirected to a page where you can download the Windows or Mac client to your local system.ĭashlane currently connects with the Chrome and Firefox web browser only, with an Internet Explorer version in the making.

Dashlane is currently in private beta, which means that you need an invite to start using it (thanks to The Next Web).
