I don’t have time to deal with this app. It is incredibly over engineered, very difficult to use, not intuitive. For example, every time I want to use my credit cards I have to login with my Dashlane master password, but I also want to have a master password that is complex and not memorizable this is not to be easy to type in. So I generally can never use Dashlane stored credit cards. Dashlane needs to become useful for security, but not so difficult that it’s impossible to take advantage of its security features. **Developer response:** Hello there; thanks for contacting us and sharing your feedback.

Paste it somewhere so I can then see the code it generated. Very annoying glitch. ### 3/5 — Love Dashlane, but the Authenticator needs work. *2023-10-02* I came from google authenticator. It’s simple to use and reliable but does not support Apple Watch. So I’m trying Dashlane’s since my whole family uses Dashlane. I’ve set it up multiple times on my phone but it would only show up once in awhile on my watch. Sometimes for one account, sometimes for another account, sometimes not at all. As a security app these things must work well all the time. **Developer response:** Hello there, thanks for reaching out to us. Even tho you can download the app on your AppleWatch, this device is not officially supported by Dashlane, meaning that we cannot guarantee that it will work as expected. In this case, I will kindly recommend you to use your mobile device to access the authentication codes. Thank you so much for your patience and collaboration, in case you have any other questions kindly open a ticket with us using the following link: http://bit.ly/dlContactSupport ### 5/5 — Good security *2023-09-21* This app helps give an extra level of security for logging into websites and the password program we use. It is easy and reliable to use and install. ### 1/5 — Failure *2023-09-05* To many hours wasted. Too many weeks. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
