There is no support for this program. So if you think you can wing it for yourselves, good luck. Our system has been down for over a week and there is no support telephone numbers or emails. The standard boilerplate emails are returned when you ask them a question. No response.

A recent update has removed the ability to bookmark pages on my android phone & there's currently no way to recover the pages previously bookmarked. There was no warning this was going to happen (that I'm aware of) so this is a great loss to me. Also, autofill frequently quits working on some sites with no explanation. Customer Support, which is normally excellent, hasn't been able to explain this problem & it's very annoying when that's supposed to be one of their best features. It does seem to be working fine on the laptop. I've also noticed that the password generator doesn't work on sites that require symbols to be used in a password.

I used the premium form of dashlane in the very early days. It might be more important to note that I have NOT been a customer for 5 years now and have instead done all of the password setting/resetting manually - terribly suboptimal. But that's how bad dashlane can be. Customer support - non-existent. You need help, too bad. I even upgraded my small company to dashlane premium plus (now dashlane business) so everyone had access to certain accounts. Great idea, but doesn't always work. Dashlane early days were glitchy. They're really best for enterprise level systems. Individual users, they're not super interested in you. Consider this - you as an individual have even more software and... Read More

Used Dashlane for a couple of years with no problems and found it a great help in automatically logging into programs, syncing its data among devices, filling in personal data in forms, and supplying credit card data for purchases. THEN one day last week I went to use it on my cell phone and I got an error message that my Dashlane pw was wrong, and I couldn't access it. Tried my iPad, with same result. But it worked as usual on my desk pc. I then found out that the only remedy to getting it working again on all three devices was to RESET it which will keep my account intact, but DELETE all the pw data for almost 100 sites. There is no way to recover the working individual pw entries from... Read More

Dashlane is very good, but I think you should include custom fields as a reviewed feature. Dashlane does not have them while some others (eg: LastPass, KeePass, 1Password) do. Chuck Z: you can keep using the product for free but it won't sync across multiple devices. This could lead to passwords being wrong. For example, if you change a password on your laptop and then later use that site on your phone, your phone will still have the old password.

Using Dashlane is pretty straightforward. The security is awesome. Biggest drawbacks were that the program is a resource "hog" and will slow down your computer noticeably!

the manager works well, but their support staff receives a BIG 0. I have been waiting for 4 days for someone in their level 2 staff to contact me, and have decided to move on.

I've used Dashlane for 10 years or so, it doesn't work well with Microsoft Edge browser but other than that it is great. If they get the Edge problem fixed it will get a excellent rating from me.
