Dashlane is a subscription-based password manager and digital wallet application available on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, founded in Paris. Dashlane uses a subscription business model option.
Dashlane was founded in Paris on July 6, 2009, releasing their first software on May 23, 2012, that first included a password manager (encrypted using AES-256), which was walled behind a single master password. Over time, more features were introduced to the product such as:
The source code for the Android and the iOS app is available under the Creative Commons NonCommercial license 4.0.
In 2017, Stiftung Warentest evaluated nine paid password managers and rated Dashlane Premium as one of four recommended products.
A 2024 study by Fábrega et al. demonstrated that many popular password managers are vulnerable to injection attacks. Dashlane was affected due to its handling of application-wide security metrics, allowing an attacker to inject crafted shared entries and observe externally logged data (such as duplicate-password counts) to determine whether their injected values matched passwords stored in a victim's vault.
