As well as being a cost-effective way for multiple members of the same family to better protect personal online accounts, the plans come with a dashboard through which family members can share login credentials and payment details for shared family accounts. Dashlane´s Family Planĭashlane´s family plans provide up to six premium plans for members of the same family under one account. However, before taking advantage of this option, you are advised to read the reviews of Dashlane posted in the Chrome Web Store by people who are – or who were – subscribing to Dashlane´s premium plan (Click on the “Reviews” tab). ![]() One benefit of Dashlane´s premium plan is that you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial to see if the extra features are worth the investment. Dashlane has the most expensive annual subscription of the password managers featured below (notwithstanding that Keeper charges more for Add-Ons and NordPass charges more when you renew your subscription), and it is nearly four times as expensive than Bitwarden – the best password manager in this category for value-for-money. However, these extra features come at a price. It also offers dark web monitoring for up to five email addresses, an automatic password changer, and a VPN for additional privacy if you connect to an unsecured WiFi service. Like most premium plans, Dashlane supports cross-device synchronization, two-step login, and secure sharing. Dashlane´s Premium Planĭashlane´s fully-featured premium plan is a considerable improvement on its free plan. As of December 2021, Dashlane is no longer offering this option to customers. The cost of the plan was $23.99 per year – which was considerably overpriced when compared to the capabilities of free password managers such as Bitwarden. In April 2021, Dashlane launched an Essentials plan which allowed users to save and synchronize an unlimited number of passwords across any two devices. However, as the table below demonstrates, the capabilities of Dashlane´s free plan are uninspiring when compared to other free plans. In its favor, Dashlane´s free plan supports data health checks that will alert you to weak, re-used, and compromised passwords, and you will receive an automatic alert if credentials you have saved in the password manager are exposed in a data breach. Data saved for auto-filling login credentials and payment details is stored locally (with no web access to data if you lose the device), and you can only share passwords for up to five accounts through the secure sharing feature. We start our Dashlane review with its free plan – a feature-limited version of its premium plan that enables users to save up to fifty passwords on one device. ![]() Ultimately, despite some cool features and an ultra-user-friendly interface, Dashlane does not come out well in our comparisons. In addition, Dashlane has also dropped some capabilities from its range of subscription plans, or dropped subscription plans altogether – for example the Premium Plus and Premium Plus for Families plans, which offered up to $1 million in identity theft insurance, credit monitoring, and identity restoration support.Ĭonsequently, our Dashlane review is a point-in-time review which has looked at the password manager´s current plans and capabilities and compared them against some of its biggest competitors. There have been further updates to desktops app and mobile apps throughout the year – some to fix bugs that have slipped through beta testing, but most to enhance the user experience and add capabilities to the existing product. So far in 2021, Dashlane has updated its web app and browser extension twenty times. Consequently, our review of the Dashlane password manager focuses on its core capabilities and how they compare against the capabilities of other password managers. ![]() Due to the frequency at which Dashlane updates its password manager, any Dashlane review is likely to be quickly out of date.
