If you forget your password, you can recover the account.ĭashlane rates passwords for strength, and can also generate random, strong passwords with the click of a button. I hope they would allow consumers to store data on third-party cloud storage as well. The company suffered a huge setback due to this practice. LastPass syncs and stores all the data on its dedicated servers. It was also recently found using trackers on the Android app though the company denied any wrongdoing. In past, LastPass has been in news for all the wrong reasons. Using them side-by-side, I found no major differences between LastPass and Dashlane when adding new items. There is also a separate tab to save a digital copy of your important documents and receipts of purchases that you make online. Speaking of Dashlane, you can create profiles to auto-fill forms and make payments using Dashlane.

You can add all the relevant details such as name, email, password, URL, use password generator, and even create folders such as Social, Shopping, Lifestyle, Bank, etc. It’s easy to glace and identifiable compared to Dashlane’s small floating window. While adding a new item on LastPass, I like how the app offers a clear UI with simple icons. It matches perfectly fine with the modern macOS design. It’s simple, works perfectly out of the box, and doesn’t go overboard with a plethora of options and menus.ĭashlane uses a translucent effect on the sidebar. User Interface #īoth the Dashlane and LastPass use the standard macOS menu for navigation. They are accessible on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and as an extension on major browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Cross-Platform Availability #Īs someone invested in an Apple ecosystem, I ditched iCloud Keychain just because it’s not available on Windows and Android natively.Ĭross-platform availability plays a major role in a password manager as a user would like access to all the private credentials on every possible device.īoth LastPass and Dashlane are available on every platform you can think of. The comparison will be based on UI, cross-platform availability, features, price, sharing, mobile experience, and more.

Dashlane straightaway asks for a subscription to enjoy all the benefits. The company recently made controversial changes to the freemium model and applied brakes to free LastPass software. LastPass used to be my go-to recommendation for an average Joe.
