FIRST app to download on your new iPhone

Hi, I'm Leander Caney from Cultimac.com. I'm here today to show you the very first app

you should download onto a brand new iPhone. When you get a brand new iPhone, it's often a good idea to download all your apps from

scratch. Yeah, I know, it's a lot easier to reinstall your phone from a backup. But starting

from scratch has some advantages. Usually you get to do an app audit, downloading and reinstalling on those apps that you use

and not all the joke fart apps you foolishly downloaded at some holiday party

But when you start from scratch, you face a big problem, passwords. Not only do you

have to re-enter all your passwords into dozens of apps, you have to remember them to boot

Luckily, Apple's latest update, iOS 12, makes this a lot easier, thanks to its own built-in

password remembering features. Plus, there's support for third-party password managers, which now work with compatible apps. It's a huge and welcome change

Being able to use a third-party password manager makes everything a lot easier, especially with Touch ID and Face ID on the latest phones. Good security has never been easier

So the very first app I download when I set up a new phone is Dashlane, a great and easy

to use password manager. Dashlane is a full-featured and well-designed password manager that works

across all your devices. Thanks to Dashlane, I don't actually know any of my passwords. They're all long and

incomprehensible strings of letters, numbers, symbols, and passwords that are impossible to memorize, and hopefully, impossible to crack

I just have to remember one password, the master password for the Dashlane app. And

thanks to Touch ID and Face ID, I don't really have to remember that either. My fingerprint

on my face unlocks the app. Here's how to get started. First of all, download and install Dashlane. It's free. If you're a previous user, like

me, it sucks up all your passwords from Dashlane's servers, which stores your password vault

It's also dead easy to export your passwords from other password managers, which you'll

want to do before setting up a new iPhone. Then head to your iPhone's settings. Select Passwords & Accounts, and then Auto-Fill Passwords

Switch on Auto-Fill Passwords, and select Dashlane as your preferred password manager

Now you're all set. You can start downloading all your apps, Twitter, Facebook, the Cult of Mac magazine app, and

when you open them up, Dashlane is ready to fill in usernames and passwords for you

Dashlane also works in Safari and dozens of other apps that support third-party password managers. It's really dead easy

So take it from me, the first app you download should be Dashlane. Dashlane has everything you need in a password manager. As well as passwords, Dashlane remembers

your credit cards, social security numbers, Wi-Fi info, and a whole bunch of other things

It has a great security dashboard that makes it easy to track your online security and

update it as necessary. The company monitors the dark web for security breaches and alerts

you if any of the services you use have been breached, and then it helps you fix it

It has a bold and colorful interface. Everything is laid out clearly and logically

That's why we made Dashlane the official password manager of Cult of Mac. Dashlane is the security

app we use at Cult of Mac to secure all our passwords. It's the password manager we recommend

to our readers. If you're not using a password manager, you should start right now. Dashlane is free for

one device and costs just $4.99 a month or $59.99 a year if you want to sync passwords

across your devices, which you will more than likely want to do. All in all, Dashlane is a well-designed and easy-to-use service that provides a lot of

security and peace of mind without much hassle. For its ease of use, rock-solid security

and a security dashboard, we recommend Dashlane wholeheartedly
