More about secrets

Select the app you're using to see how to add secrets.

Web browser

  1. Go to Secrets in the web app and select Add new. The editor opens.
  2. Enter a Secret name that helps you identify the secret in your vault.
  3. For Secret value, enter the information you want to keep secret. For an API key, for example, enter only the characters that make up the key.
  4. If your plan has separate Personal and Business Spaces, you can change the Space for the secret. Dashlane stores new secrets in your Business Space by default.

  5. For added security, select the Require Master Password checkbox. Dashlane asks for your Master Password when you open the secret. Dashlane skips this check if you entered your Master Password in the last five minutes.

    If you log in with single sign-on (SSO), you won’t see this option. With SSO, you log in to Dashlane with your work password instead of a Master Password. If you’re not sure whether you use SSO, ask your plan admin.

  6. Select Save to add the secret to your vault.
