Dashlane provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) so you can interact directly with your account. With our CLI, you can manage your data from your computer terminal.
All Dashlane customers can use our CLI, but this feature might be especially useful for admins of professional plans, software developers, and other customers with advanced technical knowledge.
What's a CLI?
A Command Line Interface (CLI) is a way to give your computer direct instructions. You type commands in your computer's terminal, and the computer responds. With a CLI, you can manage files, change settings, and ask the computer to complete automatic tasks.
Why use a CLI?
A CLI gives you more control and flexibility over your computer's settings and lets you automate certain tasks to save time. A CLI is also useful for completing tasks on devices without screens or with limited graphics.
What can I do with the Dashlane CLI?
With the Dashlane CLI, you can view items stored in your Dashlane vault like logins or Secure Notes, back up your vault, see a list of devices you've added to Dashlane, and remove devices from your account.
On macOS, you can also use Touch ID to lock and unlock your vault through the CLI.

CLI for admins and members of professional plans
Admins of professional plans can see activity logs, access a list of team members, and view Dark Web Insights reports directly in the CLI. You can also automate tasks, use bots, and export important data for your organization's security information and event management (SIEM) software.
If you're a member of an organization using Password Management or Credential Protection, you can use the CLI to access your vault whether you log in with a Master Password or single sign-on (SSO). You can also use the CLI to securely access secrets from the terminal and inject them into template files, environment variables, or the pastebin.
