All Dashlane plans come with breach alerts. We send you an alert when a website or app you use has a security breach or when a password you save is found to have been leaked. For example, if you have a Facebook login stored in Dashlane, we alert you if Facebook's servers are hacked.
What's a security breach?
When you use apps and websites, they often save your personal information on their servers. Other people can sometimes illegally access these servers, which is called a security breach. We work hard to inform Dashlane customers when a possible breach affects their logins or personal info.

Who gets breach alerts?
All Dashlane plans come with breach alerts automatically.
How do breach alerts work?
We notify you if you've stored a login in Dashlane for a site or app that has been breached. We consider your login "compromised" if you haven't changed your password since the date of the breach. We also check each of your passwords against a list of passwords leaked in the Dark Web, so even if you use a password on a website for the first time, we'll let you know if it's already compromised. We also consider any similar passwords you use for other logins to be compromised.
After a breach, you receive an alert about any compromised passwords in a pop-up the next time you open Dashlane. You also see alerts in the Password Health section of your account when you select the Compromised tab to view compromised passwords.
A breach alert from Dashlane doesn't always mean that others have gotten access to your personal information. Instead, an alert means that your information is at risk because a site you use has had a breach.
Understand your Password Health score
Important: All Dashlane security alerts follow our zero-knowledge principle. We identify logins involved in breaches without ever having access to your passwords or other data stored in your Dashlane account.

Dashlane’s Security Principles & Architecture
What do I do if I get a breach alert?
As soon as you receive an alert, we recommend you change the affected password. Change your password on the site or app that's had a breach, and then make sure to save your new password in Dashlane. When you update a compromised password in Dashlane, your Password Health score updates automatically.
