Add passwords from your browser or another password manager
From your browser

On Windows
Click on File → Import passwords and choose the browser from which you want to import your passwords.

On macOS
In the application, select File → Import in the menu bar at the top of the screen and select either Safari, Chrome, Firefox or All browsers.

If you are using another password manager but it allows you to export your passwords in a CSV file, you can import from CSV file.
Add passwords as you browse the Web

If you visit an account that’s already stored in Dashlane, and you enter a different password than what Dashlane has saved, the app will ask you if you’d like to replace it. This makes sure you always have the right passwords in Dashlane (especially when you reset them).
