Dashlane review

There is no free plan, so the vault is paid for from the first day. A 14 day trial opens the paid features for a short look, and paid plans carry a 30 day money back window after that.

The longest plan runs 12 months, so the longest commitment is a full year rather than a rolling deal. The Friends and Family option is the group plan, covering Friends & Family: 10 accounts, one subscription under a single subscription. Business buyers sit alongside that group option on the business plans.

The legal entity is Dashlane SAS, based in France and operating under FR law. Founded in 2009, the company sits under the courts and regulators of that jurisdiction, which is the starting point for readers weighing privacy law. Data protection follows the rules of that country rather than the reader's own.

Encryption combines vault encryption with local device side encryption, so the vault is unlocked on your own device rather than on company servers, and key derivation happens there too. A 14 day trial covers the paid features while you check the setup.

Apps are listed for macOS, Windows and iOS, which covers the main desktop and mobile systems. Linux desktops and standalone browser extensions do not appear in that list, so readers who work mainly through a browser extension should weigh Total Password, which lists Windows, macOS and iOS.

Passkeys are supported as a standard feature, and totp covers authenticator codes inside the same vault, so a separate authenticator app is not needed. Both sit under the paid subscription, since the free plan is no. That pairing suits anyone moving to passkey sign in while keeping two factor codes.

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone, a help centre and a community are all listed. A help centre is the most common channel in the group at 95.4%, while chat sits at 34.4%. Phone and email are both in the mix, which helps business buyers who need a person.

Monthly fees in this group centre on €9.99, with long term plans at €10.52. A 14 day trial and a 30 day money back window take the risk out of a first commitment. Entry price and renewal price are the two figures to line up across providers.

travel covers travel features in the personal plans, and the Friends and Family plan adds Friends & Family: 10 accounts, one subscription for a group. Passkeys and the authenticator codes in totp are included, while the free plan is no. Support on email, chat and phone applies across the plans.
