Even if the database gets stolen, assuming your master password is 16+ characters (like a sentence or phrase), then your passwords should remain encrypted.Īnd forget about complex passwords, because they’re not as safe as you might think. In other words, if your password database is synced online and needs to get downloaded, the information is encrypted. The most important feature is that password managers encrypt/decrypt your password database locally. So next time gets hacked into, or another data breach occurs for, you only need to change that single password and not worry about your other accounts. More importantly, that password you use is unique to that website, and is probably 16 alpha-numeric characters in length. Once you log into the password manager, then whenever you go to or, your username and password will autofill. The only way to remember these passwords is to simply not remember them, and remember one master password that you use to access your password database. Ideally, every website you log into should have a unique password associated with it, and the longer and more random it is, the better. If you use only one or two passwords – or even a handful of passwords – that is not enough to keep yourself secure online. Why even pay for a password manager? Firefox, Chrome, and Safari already include password managers, but they are specific to the browser itself, and you cannot readily access those passwords if you are using a mobile app (i.e., banking apps that do not cache your password). I bought mine for $19.99 per year but it seems like they increased the price, so the price increase made me rethink about whether Dashlane is even worth it anymore. But for a premium membership, which includes syncing across all your devices and browsers, the cost is quite steep at $29.99 per year.

Using it on Mac OS X, the interface is clean, the extensions for the browsers work without any issues, and also includes two-factor authentication via SMS. Dashlane is password manager and “digital wallet,” and it works pretty well. This past weekend, I received an email from Dashlane requesting to automatically renew my premium membership.
