You can securely share one or more logins and Secure Notes with others using Dashlane. You can share with one person or multiple people and groups from the web or mobile app. The people you share with also need to have Dashlane accounts.

When you change a shared item, the information updates for everyone who shares that item so that everyone has the most up-to-date information. Occasionally, you and your recipients might have sync issues, and the item doesn't update for everyone. Your recipients might also not receive the shared item immediately.

Try the following steps to rule out some possible causes for the issues you may experience when you try to share or receive items.

Check out the steps for sharing an item

To share items with a person for the first time, enter the person's full email address and select Add new contact. The person appears in the contact list only after the first share.

Trigger a manual sync for your account

1. Edit to one of the items you tried to share. For example, add a note to a login's Note field or add a character to the item's name and select Save.
2. Save the changes.
3. Manually force a sync in one of these ways:
   • Select the Dashlane D icon in your browser’s toolbar and enter your Master Password if prompted. In the extension pop-up's bottom menu, select Sync, shown as circling arrows.
   • From the web app, select the My account menu, select Settings, and then select Sync now.
4. Try to share the item again.

An item isn't showing up for a specific person

1. Confirm that the item is shared with the person.
   • Go to that specific item and select the Shared Access tab. You'll see a list of all the people and groups that you shared the item with.
2. Force another sync.
   • Make a small change to the item to force a sync. For example, add a note to a login's Note field or add a character to the item's name and select Save.
3. Revoke and reshare.
   1. Select the specific item to open the details panel and then select the Shared Access tab.
   2. Select Edit permissions next to the person's name.
   3. Select Revoke access and then select Change rights. Select Revoke access again to confirm.
   4. Share the item with the affected person again.

Sharing groups for professional plans

If you're a member of a Dashlane plan through your organization and don't have access to a specific sharing group, your account hasn't been added to the group. Check with your admin so that they can invite you to the sharing group. If you've been invited, be sure to accept the invitation to the sharing group.

Admins and Group Managers aren't required to be members of the groups they create. If they want to be part of a group, they need to invite their own email address to the group.

Admin: Creating and managing sharing groups
Members: Share multiple items with multiple people with sharing groups

Share with someone who doesn't have a Dashlane account

If you share an item with someone who doesn't have a Dashlane account, they receive an email notification and a link to create a Dashlane account. You don't have to share the item again if the recipient uses the same email address to create a Dashlane account.

The recipient needs to accept your invitation before accessing the shared item.

• In the web app, select the bell icon next to the My account menu to see any pending invitations.
• On your Android app, open the top-left menu and select Notification Center.
• On your iPhone app, select Notifications in the bottom menu.

If the recipient logs in to their account and doesn't see a notification about the share, they can try returning to the invitation email and selecting the link again.

If sync still doesn't work, verify the recipient's email address and reshare the item. The recipient can also follow the steps in the other section about triggering a manual sync.

My data isn't showing up on a specific device

1. Make sure you're logged in with the same Dashlane account on all your devices.

   Check which Dashlane account you're logged in with

2. Log out and log back in on any devices you think might be affected. Logging out and logging in can fix most sync problems.

   Log out of Dashlane
   Log in to Dashlane

   Warning! If you have a passwordless account, make sure you're logged in on at least one other device or have access to an account recovery key before logging out. Otherwise, you could lose access to your data. You can also try closing and reopening your browser instead of logging out.
   What happens if I'm logged out of my passwordless account on all devices?

3. If logging out and logging in again doesn't fix your problem, you can take steps to find out which device is causing the problem. Remove that device from the list of devices you've added to Dashlane. Then log in on the device again.
