What is Dashlane?
Dashlane is a security and privacy app for managing passwords, passkeys, secure notes, and payment information on Mac and other devices. It helps people sign in faster, create strong unique passwords, organize sensitive items, and sync their vault across supported platforms. On Apple devices, Dashlane is available as a macOS app and works with its Safari browser extension, making it useful for both website logins and access to saved data outside the browser. Common uses include storing personal and work credentials, generating new passwords, sharing selected items securely, and keeping two-factor codes close at hand. Dashlane is published by Dashlane and is aimed at users who want a dedicated password manager with cross-device access and autofill features.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Dashlane is legitimate password-management software, but it handles highly sensitive information by design. Access to browser autofill, saved credentials, biometrics such as Touch ID, and syncing features is normal for this kind of app. The main practical precaution is to protect your Dashlane account with a strong master password or passwordless method you trust, and to keep recovery options up to date so you do not lose access to your vault.
Recommendation: Keep Dashlane if you use it for passwords, passkeys, or secure notes on your Mac. Remove it only if you have switched to another password manager and have already exported or migrated anything important, because deleting the app without planning may leave you without easy access to saved credentials.
