Credential Risk Detection, AI phishing alerts, and Credential Risk Alerts are available to organizations with Credential Protection.

Estimated time to complete: 20 minutes

If you have Credential Protection and are deploying the Dashlane browser extension, you can deploy the Credential Protection features at the same time:

• Credential Risk Detection
• AI phishing alerts
• Credential Risk Alerts

Admins can use the master data management (MDM) tool Jamf to set up Credential Risk Detection for company-managed Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge desktop browsers on macOS.

Looking to set up Risk detection on Windows using Group Policy (GPO)?

Although Credential Protection features are most beneficial when rolled out to your entire organization, you can start with a smaller group (or just yourself) during setup and extend it to more employees anytime. To add more employees, update the groups included in your policy deployment.

Process overview

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the appropriate access needed to set up Credential Protection features:

• Admin access to a Dashlane account with Credential Protection
• Admin access to Jamf on macOS
• Permission to deploy policies to devices using Jamf

Set up Credential Risk Detection on macOS using Jamf

Setup involves two main steps:

1. Policy deployment
2. Extension deployment

If you prefer, watch the macOS + Jamf step-by-step video

1: Policy deployment

Important: You must deploy the Dashlane security policies before you deploy the Dashlane browser extension. This order ensures the extension installs silently and the security features work as expected. If you don't deploy the policies to your targeted machines, your employees will be asked to log in to Dashlane on every login screen. If you deploy the extension before the policies, employees might create a personal account before the policies are applied.

In the Dashlane Admin Console, start the setup:

1. Log in to the Dashlane browser extension and open the Admin Console
2. Under Integrations, select Deployment.

3. On the Deployment page, select Start setup.

   

4. On the Setup page, select Start to see the steps for the policy deployment.

   

5. Select the Jamf tab and the browsers you're deploying to.

6. Next to the Preference Domain field, select the Copy value button. 

   

In Jamf, add the new policy:

1. Open Jamf and go to the Computers section. Select Configuration Profiles and then New.
2. Enter a name for the Configuration Profile. For example, "Dashlane Credential Risk Detection."
3. Select the Category you want to add the profile to.
4. Under Options, select Application & Custom Settings. Then select Upload and Add.

5. For the Preference Domain, paste the value copied from the Admin Console.

   

In the Dashlane Admin Console, copy the PLIST value:

• On the Risk Detection page, in step 1, select Copy value next to the Property List (PLIST) field.

  

In Jamf, complete the policy:

1. Paste the copied value into the Property List field.

2. Select Add and then Save. 

   

After performing these steps, the deployment might take up to eight hours, but it's usually faster.

To ensure Risk Detection's proactive threat monitoring doesn't alert or disrupt employees, you must wait for the policy to take effect in your MDM before deploying the Dashlane browser extension to enrolled devices and activating the feature.

In Jamf, check the policy was applied:

1. Using a device that was part of the deployment targets, go to the Mac System Settings, General, and Device Management, and then find the policy you created.

2. After opening that policy, confirm the Risk Detection value is there.

   

Go back to the Dashlane Admin Console, and select Continue to move to the second step.

2: Extension deployment

You can skip this step if you've previously deployed the extension.

You must deploy the Credential Protection policies before you deploy the Dashlane browser extension. This order ensures the extension installs silently. If you don't deploy the policies to your targeted machines, your employees will be asked to log in to Dashlane on every login screen. If you deploy the extension before the policies, employees might create a personal account before the policies are applied.

Return to step 1 to deploy the policy

Although Credential Risk Detection is most beneficial when rolled out to your entire organization, you can start with a smaller group (or just yourself) by restricting the policy. You can extend Risk Detection to more of your employees at any time.

In Jamf, force-install the extension on enrolled devices:

1. Select the Scope tab, and then select All computers or Specific computers.
2. If you select Specific computers, select Add next to the devices you want to include in the deployment, then select Done.

3. Select Save.

   

In the Dashlane Admin Console select Complete to confirm the extension was deployed.

After this deployment, you can turn on Credential Risk Detection. You can also turn on AI phishing alerts and Credential Risk Alerts.
