This article is for plan members of organizations with Credential Protection. If you're an admin using Credential Protection looking for information on this type of alert for your organization, see our article on setting up Credential Risk Alerts.
Set up Credential Risk Alerts for Credential Protection
Credential Risk Alerts for compromised passwords are turned on automatically for members of organizations with Credential Protection. The admin of your Dashlane plan can also choose to turn on these alerts for weak and reused passwords.
If your organization has turned on Credential Risk Alerts for logged-out users, you'll get these alerts when you enter a compromised or weak password even if you're logged out of Dashlane or don't have a Dashlane account. Ask the admin of your Dashlane plan for more information.

What do I see when I get an alert?
If your password has been involved in a security breach, you'll see a Compromised label in the autofill pop-up. If your password is weak or reused, you’ll see Weak or Reused labels in the autofill pop-up.
Important: All Dashlane security alerts follow our zero-knowledge principle. We identify logins with compromised, weak, or reused passwords without ever having access to your passwords or other data stored in your Dashlane account.

What do I do when I get a security alert?
- Change your password for the website you just logged in to. The process depends on the site. In general, you can start by opening your account or security settings and looking for an option to change your password. For some websites, you can select Change password in the security alert pop-up, and we'll take you to the section of that site where you can change your password.

Save your new password in Dashlane.
