opinions on Dashlane

Post by bayswater »

Does anyone have a view on this?

I have a reasonably secure but inconvenient way of dealing with passwords. 1password has a crazy price, and others I've seen looked dodgy. Dashlane is free, and uses a server, but only if you want it to share your passwords across devices. They say you can have only a local encrypted copy if you don't want to share.

It looks like something worth trying.

Consider the long-term viability of that company. (trivia: just used "viability" in two posts running, and it's not a word I use often.) Will it still be here in OS X 15.1? With things like passwords, you really do have to think about that.

Viability: good point. One of the reasons I like the local only option. Worst case is I have to o back to my old method or move passwords to a new app.
