Software Reviews and Criticism

  Not free, difficult to use

  It shoulld say free trial, but it says FREE, so that's a bit deceptive, and the version you download isn't the free version, the free one is much more limited and you have to set up DL all over again in 30 days. Setting up was a mess. I counted 38 screens to navigate just to get an account and log-in. Plus it kept repeating the same screen when I tried to log in "You're all set" and the only option is "Got It!" then...nothing. No control panel, no welcome tutorial, nothing. Looking for it, where is it? Playing hide and seek. AND, 4 customer service support staff could or would not explain how does it work? Instead a bot kept sending messages that it wanted to close the support ticket, mark it resolved several times. I got it working eventually, there are two versions you need, one for desktop and one for the web, and you have to log in both places before it works on ONE browser only. AND It keeps asking if I want it to save the password that it just used to log me in to websites. I know it's free and I get what I paid for, but I don't enjoy the hassle of loading the extension, setting all the security preferences in sys pref and the perplexing "You're all set!" screen when you click on the Icon in the apps folder instead of opening the app.

  Crashes Safari [UPDATED]

  This is my second update (see original below). The original problem I had with this browser extension has been fixed. It almost always recognizes a site and offers to fill in passwords/user info. The new problem is that it's causing Sarari to crash. I will especially notice it overnight. I'll wake up the computer and I will have a report that Sarari "needs to be reopened due to a problem" and when I look a the report it names the Dashlane extension. Is there a problem with how the extension handles the browser/computer going into a sleep state? This is big issue! I've used Dashlane for years and loved it. But the new integration with Safari just doesn't work. It will correctly autofill about 10% of the time. I have to sign out of the extension and then sign in to make it work. Even then it will eventually stop autofilling correctly. VERY frustrating. The only good news is that the new button makes it easy to get the password copied so that you can use it to manually log into the site. Please FIX.

  Great Product, VPN not working on Windows!

  I LOVE Dashlane. I love how seamlessly it stores passwords across my devices. I love using the password generator if I need to change a password. I love how quickly i can change a password, have that saved, and never have to think about the new password again. I love using the secure notes function. Overall Dashlane has made my life SO MUCH simpler! HOWEVER, IT works BEST on iOS devices. It's functionality is decreased on windows desktops. And it has extremely limted options on Windows Safari. VPN isn't even an option currently on Windows OS w/ Safari.

  You Need This!

  In the past I was guilty of using two or three passwords across all websites. Then I tried keeping a spreadsheet when I expanded the number of passwords I used. It was just too challenging. With Dashlane I find it so easy to create random, secure, and different passwords for every website for which I have an account. I also find it easy to change passwords as necessary. With Dashlane, my typical password is 18 characters long. Yep, eighteen characters long! For the most important sites, like financial, they are 26 characters long! With the large number of threats, which increase every day, you need Dashlane! BTW, the nickname I used for this review was generated by Dashland.
