Unlock Dashlane with your face or fingerprint
You can turn on the option to unlock your account with your face or fingerprint. We call this option Biometric unlock in your web browser and on Android. On Apple devices, look for the options Use Face ID or Use Touch ID.
Note: Biometric unlock in your browser also lets you unlock Dashlane with a security key, your phone or tablet, or your device PIN.
In your web browser, face and fingerprint unlock are only available for accounts protected by a Master Password. On mobile and in the macOS app, all Dashlane accounts have this option.

Unlock Dashlane with a PIN
PIN unlock works in your web browser and in the Dashlane app on Android, iPhone, iPad, and macOS. After you turn on PIN unlock and create a 6-digit PIN, you enter your PIN instead of your Master Password to unlock Dashlane.
PIN unlock is different from a passwordless account protected by a PIN. In a passwordless account, your PIN replaces your Master Password as the main way to access your account.
Create a passwordless account protected by a PIN
For accounts protected by a Master Password, PIN unlock is available anywhere you use Dashlane. For accounts protected by single sign-on (SSO), you can use PIN unlock on mobile or in the macOS app.

What to know about your unlock options
- These options work only on the device or browser where you set them up. If you use Dashlane on different devices, you can set up unlock options for each device.
- If you log out manually, these options turn off. You can turn them back on after you log in again.
-
If your account has a Master Password, we still ask you to enter it every 14 days and in a few other situations.
-
These options improve the way passkeys work in Dashlane on websites that require an extra user verification step when you log in with a passkey. When you turn on an unlock option, you can complete user verification quickly and securely with your face, fingerprint, or PIN.

You can use face or fingerprint unlock instead of your Master Password when autofilling payment methods or protected logins in Chrome or Chromium browsers.
