DASHLANE 2FA PASSWORD

The password change itself is a nifty feature that updates the password for the account in question and saves the new credentials without requiring additional prompting, though. Rather than being able to use the feature straight from a given login item, itвЂ™s buried within the вЂњPassword HealthвЂќ section of the app, and must be enabled for specific accounts. There isnвЂ™t a way to create a login item from the password history without copying and pasting, either.ДЄccessing the Automatic Password Changer feature was also slightly obtuse. The generated password was available in the вЂњPassword historyвЂќ page, but the username IвЂ™d created wasnвЂ™t saved alongside the password. After clicking вЂњUse generated passwordвЂќ in the dropdown window, I expected to find the credentials for that Reddit account in Dashlane. I did encounter some issues with DashlaneвЂ™s ability to collect data, however, including when I created a new Reddit account to test some of its features. Those same controls are offered when generating a password using the dropdown window. That last page includes controls for the length of the password and if it should use letters, numbers, symbols, and similar characters (such as a capital вЂњIвЂќ and lowercase вЂњlвЂќ or вЂњ1вЂќ) in the generated password. When itвЂ™s not offering to store login details, the Dashlane browser extension can be used to access saved credentials, manage auto-fill settings, or generate new passwords. The email address used to create the Dashlane account can be auto-filled when creating new accounts, too, which is a nice touch. The personal information can also be supplied to relevant forms (such as those used by online storefronts, government websites, etc.) on demand. Once you have saved information to Dashlane, the browser extension will automatically offer to fill in the stored credentials when you visit the relevant website by way of a dropdown window. This is similar to how other password managers prompt users to save their login information, and works about as well as expected. After this is done, any time DashlaneвЂ™s browser extension detects that youвЂ™re signing into a service with credentials that havenвЂ™t been saved yet, it asks you if youвЂ™d like to save that information.

(For reference: You have to open the web app, click вЂњMy accountвЂќ at the top, select вЂњSettings,вЂќ and then click вЂњImport passwords.вЂќ) Being able to import passwords can save time on this process, but itвЂ™s odd that Dashlane makes it so frustrating to find in the first place.Дashlane also prompts you to add personal information-name, birth date, and potentially their phone number-so it can be saved as well. ItвЂ™s possible to import passwords from other tools, but Dashlane doesnвЂ™t make this obvious during the account creation process, and I didnвЂ™t find the exact steps until I searched online. That meant I needed to visit the site, sign out, enter my account details, and then wait for Dashlane to ask to save the information. This was a somewhat vexing process because I was already signed in to all of the services (Netflix, Twitter, Amazon, etc.) that Dashlane expects people to add first.

It doesnвЂ™t ask you to add the password manually however, it requires you to visit the website in question and then enter your account information so the extension can offer to save it. It seems strange to pair a device with the account before a master password has been provided, but perhaps thatвЂ™s supposed to make it easier for people to tell when someoneвЂ™s trying to access their accounts.ДЄfter everything is up and running, Dashlane prompts you to save your first password. I couldnвЂ™t access the information IвЂ™d saved to the password manager, however, until I entered the master password. After entering my email address, Dashlane sent a one-time password used to add the device to my account. Getting started on iOS was similarly odd. Normally I would expect to be prompted to set a password right away. Only after I installed the extension was I prompted to create a вЂњmaster passwordвЂќ thatвЂ™s used in conjunction with one-time passwords sent to my email address to access my account.

The service asks for an email address, requires you to enter it a second time if you donвЂ™t already have a Dashlane account, then prompts you to install a browser extension.
