Your Master Password is the private key used to encrypt all of your data saved in Dashlane. Please remember to make your Master Password as strong as possible, and do not share it with anyone else.
You need to be signed in and have a working Internet connection to change your Master Password.
If you are a Dashlane Business user with single sign-on (SSO) enabled, this feature will not be available to you, as you do not use a Master Password.
