  1. [R3] Dashlane Password Manager 3/5 · US Extension banned by employer: I like the app, but since dashlane switched to browser extensions(which my employer banned) it has become useless for work purposes. Will look for something else.
  2. [R20] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Dashlane: Love Dashlane It fills in my info and stores my passwords securely.
  3. [R34] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Great Source for all things password: Love the ability to share and link across my platforms easily
  4. [R44] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Happy: Easy to use but make sure you remember your log in password I use this all the time so I can make different passcodes for all my entries. I also like the secure notes for important things I have to keep safe.
  5. [R12] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Great: Easy to use and works on all devices
  6. [R24] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US I like the new colorful characters: Making numbers and special characters a different color from the letters really helps for me to see the difference. Awesome! Very reliable App/system. Getting used to Face ID on my new iPhone. Reliable and easy to use.
  7. [R37] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Easy and secure: I’m very happy with Dashlane because it helps me manage ALL THOSE PASSWORDS really easily! Love it😁
  8. [R1] Dashlane Password Manager 2/5 · US No longer works: I just paid a renewal fee...the app worked on my iPad when i pd. Two days later it won't work...says the version of my iPad is not supported??? It was supported 2 days prior...so what gives?
  9. [R4] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Withdrawal of support: App no longer works on my iPad- the only app that has decided my iPad is too old to be worthy of support. Other devices are ok. Very disappointing and will likely not renew
  10. [R7] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Doesnt work in airplane mode: This app doesnt work offline or in airplane mode. I dont have 2FA enabled. On the log in screen with Biometric it just hangs. When I get a network connection again it works again. Raised issues before on this been happening for over 6 months I have the latest app.
  11. [R23] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Not Working: App stopped working for the past few days Took my subscription payment and still displaying “Renew Plan” even after I’ve paid and subscribed. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times but still stuck at “Upgrading to Premuim” for days!
  12. [R6] Dashlane Password Manager 3/5 · GB best yet: getting expensive
  13. [R11] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB 100% price increase simply not worth it: It’s a good app but having gone from £30 per year to £60 is daylight robbery. Monstrously overpriced. NordPass and others offer the same thing for £12 per year with instructions on how to transfer all your passwords across. So that’s what I’ve done. So long greedy Dashlane.
  14. [R13] Dashlane Password Manager 2/5 · GB Expensive: It was already expensive and prices are going up. I’m off to try another password manager…
  15. [R15] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Bait and Switch: Offered a free version to drawer customers in, then they began emailing to say if you don’t pay your account will be limited to 25 passwords, next it was that the account will be changed to read only, annoying but at least my passwords were saved, now they are emailing to say if you don’t pay they will delete the account and all passwords.
  16. [R9] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Avoid like the plague: I am stuck with this wretched app as they are preventing me from cancelling my subscription. No help offered. Once I say I want to cancel, they simply log off.
  17. [R25] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB SWITCHED TO KEEPER!: I don’t usually write reviews but I had to for this as it’s important who you put trust when it comes to accessing the whole digital world. After being a loyal customer for over 5 years. My renewal was not working after paying £33. Tried to renew again with the increased prices now starting at £60 and still nothing. Now I have to wait up to 30 days to get £90 back and couldn’t
  18. [R62] Keeper Password Manager 5/5 · US 5 Star Customer Service: Excellent customer service! Walked me through the whole process of getting my account back up after I got a new phone and lost my password. Great product and service.
  19. [R64] Keeper Password Manager 1/5 · US very expensive: from when I started the cost has more than doubled and keep going up, it seems, every year.
  20. [R106] Keeper Password Manager 1/5 · US Money Hungry: I’ve had this app forever it seems like, and I used to pay $14.99 annually for many, many years! Last year (2025) they increased the price to $39.99, and now they want to increase it again?! I’m about to cut ties with Password Keeper. The passwords app on iPhone works just as well and gives the option to add notes, codes, passkeys, and share with family. So why am I going to continue
  21. [R88] Keeper Password Manager 1/5 · US This app just gets worse with each release: I’m paying almost $50/year now for this app, and the performance just gets worse and worse. Multiple times now, I’ve attempted to access my passwords in airplane mode while on long 10+ hour flights. I’m then prompted to enter my master password, which I don’t have access to since I’m offline. I have offline options enabled, stay logged in, Touch ID, etc
  22. [R21] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Ruined it: Been using Dashlane for years and it’s been a great app for storing my passwords but over the last year they’ve completely ruined the experience by shrinking down the limit on free passwords from 100 to 50 and the to 25 and now even worse they’ve discontinued their free version so unless you have a lot of money in this modern day to want to go out and pay for it don’t use Dashlane go us
  23. [R90] Keeper Password Manager 3/5 · GB ONLY 1 MONTH TRIAL: App looked good so downloaded & got passwords sorted, only to then find it's just a month's free trial then £40p.a. Should be mentioned up front as many other free apps out there to us.
