You can change the appearance of Dashlane to a dark color scheme, which is also called “dark theme” or "dark mode."
Dark theme in Dashlane, as in other apps and services, changes the traditional interface from a light color scheme to a darker, inverted color scheme. Dark theme lowers the overall brightness of your device's screen, and some content may stand out more. Dark theme is perfect for nighttime or to help your mobile device's battery last longer.
