Hello Josh! Thank you soooo much for one of the best reviews that I have come across for any product here on KZbin. Your insightful coverage and explanation of the various settings was exactly what I needed to better understand the features of this product. I truly appreciate your time and effort.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate that and I'm glad to hear it helped.

[@peterhenley5792]

Hey, one thing you need to update concerning dashlane review is the fact that they have discontinued development of the desktop version as of 2021 and it is no longer available for desktop use.

[@mohsinfareed1797]

Thanks very much. This is the best and most clear, well explained, and comprehensive tutorial I ever seen about DAHSLANE. Great man.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anikptl]

Hey, it's definitely the most detailed & clearly explained video! Thanks a ton mate!! I have subscribed to your channel. 🙂

[@AllThingsSecured]

Awesome, thank you, Aniket! Glad it was useful.

Awesome. As a business owner this is exactly the review I needed. Thank you

[@AllThingsSecured]

My pleasure!

Some updates: #1 Dashlane is depreciating the Desktop app, and moving everything to the browser, #2 Password Sharing: Dashlane has two types of Share: Limited & Full access, (I found out the "hard" way), Limited access, is a 1-off sync - ie. If you share a password as Limited access, and then change the password for a 2nd time, the 2nd updated password won't sync to the Recipient Likewise, if the Recipient changes the password on the webstite, their Dashlane will save the new password, but it won't sync back to Me (the Family Manager), The only way to have 2-way password (auto)-syncing, is to share with Full Access #3 Syncing Dashlane items is now turned-on by default, so no need to do Manual Syncs

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks for the update, Tom!

[@101hamilton]

This is an amazing and very helpful video. You explain things so well. Thank you for posting.

[@jahltdyt]

Only have used Dashlane for 7 days and it has frozen up 3 times!. Just the dumb circle going round and not allowing me to shut the internet site or go back in the Dashlane browser app (MS EDGE) to start over. If this occurs again I will stop using the software altogether. So many sites now offering 2-3 step VERIFICATION or authenticator (Google or Microsoft) a PASSWORD MANAGER MAY NOT BE NEEDED! Thanks for your overview.

[@Filantropo7]

Thank you for your explanation, it is very useful for me and all of us who are interested in security.

Great review, comprehensive and clear, and gets right to the point, Thank You so much for this great presentation on dashlane

[@AllThingsSecured]

My pleasure, Brian. Thanks for the comment!

[@royhall9069]

Thanks so much for the comprehensive intro to Dashlane! Very helpful! Can you bring me up to speed on what happens if I join Dashlane, but later decide it's not for me? How do I get my passwords back to my local control if I leave Dashlane? Same question for the other account holders if I subscribe to a Family Plan? This problem has totally stopped me from moving forward with Dashlane or any other Password Manager. Any insight appreciated!

[@GabrielAlexanderWernick]

Hi Josh! Thank you for this information. You mentioned at the end that you would never 100% trust one piece of software for your security, which is what has been keeping me from getting a password manager, but now I realize how essential it is to have one. I plan on getting a password manager now, but since you said though that you wouldn't 100% trust one piece of software, what is your security hygene protocol? What are the products and practices on top of a password manager that you would recommend everyone to get? (maybe you even have a video on this already! But I couldn't find it if there is.)

[@AllThingsSecured]

It's not about other products. Check this out for an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKDNaqRoa8yUmqc

[@preetimathur]

Hi How do I switch between Web extensions and Desktop version of DASHLANE on Edge on my desktop? I can’t get tools either so please help. I want to change category for all my passwords but I can’t find category options at all. Please help me ASAP Thanks Your KZbin Video was Awesome

[@Nate-qc8kb]

I need a little help. When using Dashlane, I click File > Import and the only option I have is Dashlane Secure Archive. Do I really have to be premium to import a .CSV list or Archie from LastPass/BitWarden etc??

[@AllThingsSecured]

I wasn't aware that this was a limitation, but if so, that sucks.

[@geertnauta]

Hi there, Your video helps me to decide what Password manager I should use. But I have one additional question. Can I store documents/files with each item that is created within Dashlane like it is possible in 1Password? (Things like a License document of my installed software or a payment receipt)

[@AllThingsSecured]

Great question! Since I never use that feature on 1Password, I wasn't looking for it in Dashlane. Unfortunately, Dashlane doesn't seem to give you the option to attach a file to a login, although it is possible to create a note with each login. Does that help?

[@HanroRoos]

@@AllThingsSecured do you still use dashlane or do you prefer 1password?

[@anikptl]

Hey, can you please confirm if Dashlane's VPN allows the user to overcome georestrictions & hence access OTT content of other countries on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.? How's the internet speed over VPN? Is torrenting possible with Dashlane's VPN?

[@Zxenmusic]

1. Can multiple users still use a device when 'Dashlane' or similar is installed or are there login conflicts? 2. How does software like Dashlane cope with the hundreds of OS programs that are NOT browsers?

[@preetimathur]

How do I import passwords from Microsoft Edge? iPhone passwords? Thanks

[@AllThingsSecured]

Both your browser and your phone (iCloud) allow you to export your username/password file to a CSV file that you can upload to Dashlane.

[@AnthonyMaverick]

as morbid as the deadman switch sounds, its quite a useful feature

[@AllThingsSecured]

Definitely.

[@Alfscan777]

I have a major problem. I forgot my password and only have access to one company that let’s in via face recognition. Any suggestion on how I can correct this issue?

[@natejoe9924]

I'm very confused about the prices to get a family plan that says $8 Goodwin I go and look at the other prices is $89 I'm very confused about the prices of dashlink

[@natejoe9924]

I kind of need help on the prices because I don't really understand the prices I'm kind of confused

[@magezx4548]

Could you do an update on this review? Dashlane changed a lot these months. I heard that the desktop app was discontinued.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

[@PilgrimCenterofHope]

We're doing a trial version right now, and I've got a Dashlane desktop app downloaded.

[@TheYogina]

I'm using the free version on my desk top right now and so far I like it better than Bitwarden and LastPass

[@malcolmgillihan8896]

How does Dashlane work if I have a yahoo email address on safari and two email addresses on Google?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Dashlane doesn't care which internet browser you use. It's only a means of storing your passwords. So it will store your Yahoo email password as well as your two other email address passwords that you can retrieve whether you're on Safari or Chrome.

[@lucielou7745]

What happens if you have this installed on your chrome brower on your laptop.. and someone steals your laptop? Can they then access all your passwords?

[@AllThingsSecured]

It's best to make sure your browser extensions require that you enter your master password every day or even every hour. In this way, any thief won't have access to your passwords.

[@joshhuber130]

How do I use the 2 factor authentication for the Dashlane app

[@rainerrain9689]

Dashlane now has their own 2 factor "" Dashlane Authenticator " app. Look for it.

[@roberto-maddaloni]

Hey Josh, do you know if it's possible to connect Dashlane to a 2FA app like Authy for autofill?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Not to my knowledge.

[@roberto-maddaloni]

[@ThePistonPit]

Dashlane no longer have the app is that correct?

[@AllThingsSecured]

The app is still there, but they're transitioning to a web app only.

[@ThePistonPit]

@@AllThingsSecured Thanks for the reply. Is it worth downloading the app?

[@vandrosia]

Dashlane allows you to use the state-of-the-art Argon2 as its key derivation function. I noticed that your account uses the older PBKDF2 KDF by default. This option should be listed under advanced settings under the security tab. How do you change it to Argon2?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Dashlane now uses Argon2 by default, so there's no need to go in and make the change.

[@natejoe9924]

I want to upgrade but I'm confused

[@bmwchefbmw]

so if I'm off line, I can't access any important documents like passport? it's in a cloud....is that what I am understanding?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Not quite. It is stored locally on your device, so you will still have access while offline. The only time this isn’t the case is if you have new documents that haven’t synced yet or if you’re setting up a new device. The file in the cloud is used as a backup and a sync.

[@emmyloveschris]

Hello. I see you used the website to log in to Twitter, so does that mean it doesn't work on apps on yout phone?

[@AllThingsSecured]

No, it definitely does. I just showed the website because it was easier.

[@gerrymoloney8339]

What about using it for apps on iPhone ?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yes, you can. I showed the iPad because it’s larger and easier to see, but it’s practically the same.

[@bryant1150]

There are some website where you have to enter multiples field like ID number, Username and password..when I want to login, I have to enter the ID number manually and then auto complete the username and the password from the iCloud Keychain. I was looking for a password manager with that, or something to let me add multiple field on the website login.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Hey Bryant, some password manager apps such as Dashlane and 1Password use machine learning to figure out where to autofill certain fields. If you find one that you use often and it doesn't autofill correctly, you can send that to their customer support and they generally are quick to make changes to get it right.

[@NachoTaco112]

Dashlane on Macs: 😊 Dashlane on Windows: 🙁😠

Dashlane as a password manager is still the best out there, but I'm still waiting for them to build a user interface that is actually usable. Seriously, it's like they failed UX 101.

[@steverino5069]

Does anyone know if Dashlane keeps your user names in addition to passwords? Safari Ketchain does.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yes, Dashlane and pretty much every other password manager will store your user name along with your password.

[@babuabadnam]

best way to secure keep changing fogoting ur passwords or use otp ??

[@AllThingsSecured]

Not sure I understand the question. Changing your passwords once a year isn't a bad idea, but I prefer OTP such as what you can get with 2FA and an authenticator app.

When I buy the premium version do they send home the security key?

[@AllThingsSecured]

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "send home"?

[@richboy2475]

Dashlane did a major change that limited the free version, making paying the only choice for it

[@AllThingsSecured]

It's not any different than what I describe in this video. They limit you to 50 logins and no device syncing. In other words, it's just a free trial to get you to jump onto the paid version.

[@natejoe9924]

My problem is I always used to logins I just find it simple

[@VarinaFred]

This password manager has tons of problems such as the non-working parameters to disable on some pages and software that I use. It keeps wanting to interfere with my work screens no matter what I say about disabling and only using it for logging on. And support is terrible. Another AI joke.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Sorry to hear about the trouble here.

Lousy support from their so-called tech. support department. Slow responses & because I fell outside the 30 day refund guarantee, I lost my money. Dashlane would autofill the same credentials if I visited a specific website, but if I used the same websites app, it wouldn't work. They blamed the technical issue on the apps developers. which Dashlane wouldn't autofill. Dashlane is subpar.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I completely understand where you're coming from, John.
