  5. [R4] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · US Dashlane not user friendly: Dashlane is a real pain in the neck. About every other day it does not recognize the device I have been using for weeks to login to Dashlane or use the app or open it in a browser. The other annoying thing is that when you go from one password website to another it asks if I want to save the changes and I have not made any changes so what am I supposed to save!? Also s

  9. [R1] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · US Incompetent people: For years, each year on my anniversary, Dash Lane cancels my subscription. A long time ago I inadvertently ended up with two accounts because I lost access to the original email I had when I signed up for the first time. The people at Dashlane have been unable to resolve that for me all these years. Instead, they just cancel my account and make me do the research every year and
  10. [R6] Dashlane Password Manager 3/5 · US Poor configuration: I have had Dashlane for a number of years of years. Problem is every time. I have sign in again it does not remember some passwords.
  11. [R7] Dashlane Password Manager 2/5 · US Ten year paying customer soon to be cut off?: I’ve been a pro level or higher customer for at least ten years. Dashlane has been our family’s favorite password management system throughout that time. However! I just renewed for a year only to find Dashlane will no longer support my Apple devices pre iOS 18!? I have two 2018 iPads that still serve us well. We can’t afford to buy new ones! I was jus
  12. [R10] 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?
  13. [R9] Dashlane Password Manager 3/5 · GB best yet: getting expensive
  14. [R18] 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.
  15. [R20] Dashlane Password Manager 2/5 · GB Expensive: It was already expensive and prices are going up. I’m off to try another password manager…
  16. [R22] 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.
  17. [R16] 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.
  18. [R32] 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
  19. [R28] 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
  20. [R12] 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
  21. [R34] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Absolutly Useless: I have an iPhone 8 and a Mac PC and I can't use my paid for Dashlane on either. Keeps saying "This version is not compatable with you OP ddowload the latest version". Its just an endless round of login update not suitable. ***** BEWARE ******
  22. [R76] Passwords 2/5 · US Needs Mire: Would be nice if it included secure notes, license, and credit cards
  23. [R99] Passwords 3/5 · GB Getting better but…: Very useful and much needed feature that previously required 3rd party apps. However some additional features are missing such as being able to store custom fields and notes that are not linked to a password.
  24. [R108] Passwords 3/5 · GB Needs work / improvements: Good app, but still using other passwords management apps as this isnt as flexible s other apps to allow you to create secore notes / add photos. It needs to be a complete password management app which allow you to include other secure/ confidential info other than what websites you have logged onto. Until then it can’t be my standalone app.
