How many logins and passwords do you have? If the answer is more than one, then ask yourself how many accounts use the same password? If that answer isn’t zero, you need Dashlane. Reused and weak passwords are one of the biggest vulnerabilities on the modern web, but remembering a bunch of unique and complex passwords is nearly impossible. What isn’t hard is using your thumb or face to open a password manager with all your strong passwords.
What is Dashlane password manager
Dashlane is an online shopping app turned cross-platform password manager. Designed to enable users to have highly complex passwords without needing to remember which random characters were used. Dashlane also offers a security dashboard, allowing you to know just how secure your passwords are, and if your accounts have been compromised across the web.
Why it’s great
Using a password manager is essential in the modern world. With so many sites and logins to keep track of, having unique and complex passwords is very important. Dashlane makes setting strong passwords easy, while only requiring you to remember a single “Master Password.” Even better, the app can use Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone, iPad, or Touch Bar MacBook Pro to unlock in an instant.

With lots of password managers out there, one thing that sets Dashlane apart actually resides in the Mac app. Unlike others, using the app’s browser extension can place a small icon in login fields of websites, allowing you to quickly login with a single click.
Dashlane also offers syncing between your devices, with best-in-class security. Only you have the key to your data, so your most sensitive information is safe from outside intrusion. Ease of use, cross-platform support, and rock solid security are just some of the reasons we named it the Official Password Manager of Cult of Mac.
