Form data can be saved and automatically completed, to save time filling in forms. Passwords are synced across all your devices (unless you disable that feature). You can also choose to require the master password before automatic sign-in. You can set password saves so that logged in automatically to sites. You can choose a category for each password. You can see at a glance which passwords you have saved in the app.
It’s early days, of course, but some of the features I like are: Obviously you need the email address and master password you signed up with, and you also need a code which is emailed to you and expires in 3 hours.
Try out Dashlane on another device – my Macbook. Sign in to a site with an unsaved password and see it being saved. My existing saved passwords were imported. Create a master password (which I must not forget!). The signup process probably took me the best part of half an hour. The premium version lets you sync passwords to all devices, and normally costs $39.99/year. I found an online offer to try the premium version of Dashlane free for 6 months. I read a recent article on Lifehacker about the best password managers, I decided to give Dashlane a try for 3 reasons: So I thought it was time to give a password manager app a try. The one thing I have not been able to do is create a brilliant memory system for remembering them all, which means I’ve been in the bad habit of writing them down. I also know that you need to make strong complex passwords and change them regularly. I know that it’s good security practice to make them all different, and not reuse the same ones. Plus login credentials for WordPress sites, of course.
I’ve been meaning to get using a password manager for a while, as I have so many of them! I have a a few email accounts, social media logins, and plenty of logins to ecommerce and membership sites. This is Day 9 in the 30 Day Blogging Challenge.
