1. DashLane the best free password manager
It is estimated that the average person has more than 1,200 accounts to manage. Each of which with associated credentials to manage. This can be a problem, especially for those who already have the hassle of having to remember so many other things. For example, from your personal password to your work account to access useful resources for your office. Furthermore, to all this we add the fact that many people have different passwords for their most important accounts, obliged by the fact that each service imposes different rules and criteria for managing access passwords. This is where software like DashLane can be extremely useful for managing all your accounts. Now let’s see how it works and what are the advantages of Dashlane.
2. The benefits of DashLane as a password manager
Dashlane is paid software, but like all products, it also has a free plan that allows you to store up to 50 passwords and share these passwords across 5 different devices and platforms. You can fill out your login forms automatically with just one click. Dashlane will enter your password and fill out your personal data wherever you need it and on any device. It will generate passwords automatically, following the safest guidelines to create secure and hard-to-find logins. Now, let’s see in more detail how it works.
On top of all this, Dashlane uses AES-256 encryption. I don’t know if you’ve already heard of it, but we’re talking about a very secure and unassailable encryption system. In fact, even Dashlane can’t figure out your passwords. The use of AES-256 encryption takes the protection system of your passwords to a “Top Secret” level. In practice it is the encryption system used by governments, banks and all the armed forces of the world. In short, the AES-256 encryption has never been violated. However, before moving on to see specifically, Dashlane, if someone will find limited some features of the free package, they can switch to the paid plans that offer unlimited options, as shown in the figure.
3. Install DashLane
Before proceeding with the installation of Dashlane, know that the paid plans are divided on the basis of two different categories: “Personal” and “Business“. To take advantage of the free plan, you must necessarily refer to the plans provided for the “Personal” category. As for the free plan, Dashlane exists as a Chrome browser extension. So, the first thing to do is click on this link and add Dashlane to Google Chrome.
