Dashlane is a secure multiplatform password manager solution that helps users store and manage many passwords and other account information and access them from all your devices (such as your mobile phone). The Password Manager encrypts stored login information and can enter it automatically into websites and forms for users, improving your cyber hygiene and helping to prevent cyberattacks.
Dashlane enables users generate and maintain complex passwords that are difficult to guess, difficult to break or crack, all without the need to memorise them.
