Morever, none of my “Secure Notes” had made it in the export. For example, the passwords for and were stored in the JSON as 2 different passwords for. My first instinct was to blame Bitwarden, but upon inspecting the JSON export of my information, I found out that Dashlane had grouped together passwords for all subdomains into the domain. However, after migrating to Bitwarden, I noticed that it wasn’t working well with subdomains.

Thankfully, Dashlane offers to export all your stored information in a JSON so you can shift to some other (read: better) password manager.

Bitwarden, a free service, has that feature. Anyone who can someone get in my machine also suddenly has access to all my passwords. Whenever I lock/put my device to sleep, I want to extension to lock itself too, otherwise there really isn’t any point to having a master password. Why doesn’t the web app have such a basic utility feature? No ability to lock extension on sleep

To shift to Bitwarden, I literally had to download Windows 10, create a virtual machine, install the app, then use the export feature. You also can’t use features like password export. Without the app, you can’t use Dashlane’s VPN (why would you pay for premium then?). Imagine my disppointment when I found that Dashlane’s desktop app only supports Windows and Mac. I solely use Pop!OS for everything, including gaming. This would have never happened had Dashlane’s popup been more reliable for me. Thankfully, the minute I submitted it I realized something was wrong (the page told me that my username/password combo was incorrect, which it couldn’t possibly be), and I figured out I was phished, and changed my credentials quickly. Rolling my eyes, I opened the dashlane app, copied my username and password and even submitted the form. The page was a 1:1 replica of the steam page, and Dashlane refused to show the password popup. us domain, but it looked official enough for me in that moment). Someone messaged me an invite to their Steam account, but the URL was (Notice the ‘a’ and ‘e’ flipped. Besides being annoying, this is a very serious security concern, since the only time the password fill in pop up should not appear is when you’re on a phishing site.

Needless to say, for hundreds of passwords, this feasible at all.ĭashlane’s password fill in popup would just randomly not appear sometimes, both in the extension, and on my Android device, requiring me to open the app and manually copy the password from there. You literally have to open each password item in the Dashlane app and turn it off. There’s no global switch to turn off this feature.Some sites have a login page on their home screen, and this feature just makes you jump directly without even asking if you want to log in in the first place.You can’t click the “Remember me” checkbox or interact with the page in any way.It should merely suggest and serve helpful suggestions, never do actions on your behalf.

Software should never do things for you unless you specifically configure it to do that. This is just straight up no-no in my books. The first time it happened to me I was so confused I had no idea what happened. If you’re on a website’s login page and Dashlane has only one login for that, it’ll simply fill the credentials in, and then click the submit buttom for you. One of the things that annoyed me the most with Dashlane was the “auto login” feature. Here are my gripes with Dashlane: Dashlane’s Autofill feature In a couple of hours, all my issues magically went away. After having none of those issues go away after 11 months, I decided to just give up and switch to Bitwarden yesterday.
Since I had paid for a year of Dashlane’s premium subscription, I decided to give it a chance anyway. I ran into some bugs that are not only deal breakers, but are outright security issues. The more I used Dashlane, the more puzzled I became at some of the design decisions the company chose to make. After all, everyone did say “you can’t go wrong with any of these”. Figuring that there wouldn’t be much difference between these options, I decided to give Dashlane a try. I searched around for password managers, and most reviews recommended options like Dashlane, 1password, Lastpass, etc. However, I wanted something more dedicated, since I had started to see obvious issues with it (no concept of “master” password, no special characters in password generators, no cross platform support, etc.). Up until last year, I was using Chrome’s password manager, and it worked well, for the most part. Using password managers is a very good idea. If you aren’t using a password manager yet, drop everything you’re doing and switch to one. I Switched from Dashlane to Bitwarden and Why You Should, Too
