If you ever need to retrieve one of your former passwords.
No need to worry, your Password History can help. You can use this tool to find passwords that have been changed in Dashlane, including passwords generated by Dashlane and the Password Changer. Even if the password wasn't saved to a password item, Dashlane will keep a log of it.
Note that the Password History feature is currently not available on iOS.
