The short answer

Dashlane stores unlimited passwords and passkeys on unlimited devices, autofills them in the browser and on your phone, and warns you when a site looks like a scam or does not match the login you saved. Premium also includes the Hotspot Shield VPN, so you do not need a separate subscription for public Wi-Fi. It has no free plan anymore and bills yearly only, and there is no Windows or Linux app, so on a PC you use it through the browser extension. If price comes first or you want an app for every desktop system, look at Bitwarden or 1Password.

Choose it if

  • You want a warning before you type a password into a lookalike site, without setting anything up
  • You would use the included Hotspot Shield VPN on cafe or hotel Wi-Fi and would rather not pay for one separately
  • You want to cover up to 10 friends or relatives on one plan, each with a private vault
  • Your company needs SSO and SCIM with Okta, Entra ID, Duo or Ping and wants staff to get a family plan at no extra cost
  • You mostly work in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and on your phone

Main features

  • Unlimited passwords and passkeys

    Paid plans store as many logins and passkeys as you like and sync them to every device you own, with password history if you need an old one back.

  • Autofill

    When you click a username field, Dashlane suggests the right login and fills the password. It also fills addresses, payment cards and ID details you have saved.

  • AI-Powered Scam Protection

    On desktop Chrome, Firefox, Edge and other Chromium browsers, Dashlane checks each new site against 79 page signals on your own device and warns you before you enter details on a risky page. It is on by default; desktop Safari and phones do not get it yet.

  • Vault phishing alerts

    If you try to fill or paste a saved login on a site that does not match the one you stored, Dashlane stops and warns you.

  • Dark Web Monitoring and Password Health

    Dashlane alerts you when your email address or a saved login turns up in a breach, and scores your vault so you can see which passwords are weak, reused or compromised.

  • Hotspot Shield VPN

    Premium subscribers and Friends & Family plan managers get Hotspot Shield's Premium VPN on up to five devices, set up from inside Dashlane. Trials and invited family members do not get it.

  • Choice of login

    You protect your account with a Master Password, a device PIN or a FIDO2 security key such as a YubiKey. PIN login is passwordless and, for now, open to new accounts only.

  • Sharing and Secure Notes

    You can share single logins or whole collections with other Dashlane users, and keep notes and files in 1 GB of encrypted storage.

  • Imports, including Credential Exchange

    You can bring passwords in from a CSV file, LastPass or a browser, and on macOS 26 or iOS 26 you can move them straight from 1Password with Apple's Credential Exchange.

  • Admin Console for businesses

    Admins invite staff, set vault and sharing policies, connect SSO and SCIM, send activity logs to a SIEM and script tasks through the public API and CLI. Dashlane runs its SSO component in AWS Nitro Enclaves.

Questions people ask

Does Dashlane have a free plan?

No. Dashlane retired its free plan and now sells only Premium and Friends & Family for personal use. New accounts start with a 14-day Premium trial. When it ends without a purchase you can still log in, but you can only export your passwords, not view, add or edit them.

How much does Dashlane cost for a business?

Omnix Password Management costs $8 per user a month, billed annually, and you need at least 2 seats. Omnix Credential Protection, which watches for risky passwords and phishing without a vault, costs $4 per user a month. Omnix Enterprise combines both for companies of 50 or more people at a custom price. Prices checked November 4, 2026.

Can I pay for Dashlane monthly?

No. Dashlane stopped selling monthly subscriptions for every plan, personal and business. You pay for a year at a time, and personal plans bought on Dashlane's website can be refunded in full if you cancel within 30 days.

Does Dashlane Premium include a VPN?

Yes. Premium includes Hotspot Shield's Premium VPN on up to five devices, and so does the manager account on a Friends & Family plan. People invited to a family plan, students on the free student trial and anyone on the 14-day trial do not get the VPN.

Is there a Dashlane app for Windows?

No. Dashlane retired its Windows desktop app, so on a PC you use the browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox or another Chromium browser, plus the web app. Mac users can install a macOS app from the App Store, but they still need the Safari extension for autofill.

Has Dashlane been hacked?

Dashlane reported one incident in August 2025: attackers reached its Salesforce CRM through the third-party Drift app and saw basic contact details for a small number of business customers. Dashlane's investigation found no access to personal or business vaults. Vault data is encrypted on your device with AES-256 before it syncs, so Dashlane cannot read it.

What happened to Dashlane's Password Changer and emergency contacts?

Both are gone. Dashlane ended the experimental Password Changer after its beta, so you now change passwords one site at a time with the generator. Emergency contacts lived in the old desktop app; today you export an encrypted DASH file and give a trusted person its password separately.

Can I get Dashlane free as a student?

Yes. Students with a valid university email address can get a year of Dashlane Premium free, without the VPN. Dashlane also gives you and a friend six months of Premium each when they sign up through your referral link, up to two years in total.
