You can create and store passkeys in the Dashlane app, but you’ll always start on the website or app where you plan to use the passkey.
For example, to use a passkey for Adobe, open your Adobe account settings and look for an option like Add passkey. During setup, you’ll be prompted to save the passkey to your Dashlane vault.
Below, you’ll find detailed instructions for saving passkeys to Dashlane. If you have trouble setting up a passkey for a specific account, visit the support site for that website or app.

To make creating a passkey easier, turn on biometric unlock or PIN unlock in your Dashlane settings. You'll use your face, fingerprint, or PIN code instead of your Master Password during this step.
If you log in to Dashlane using single sign-on (SSO), you won't have biometric unlock or PIN unlock settings for Dashlane for your web browser.
