You can export all your Dashlane data to a CSV file. CSV files aren't encrypted, and others can read them. Delete the CSV file from your device after you're done using it.
If you're trying to back up your data or change Dashlane accounts, use a secure DASH file instead. If you want to share a login or another item saved in Dashlane, share directly from the Dashlane app. Sharing is more secure than exporting your data.

Move your Dashlane data using a CSV file
You can export CSV files using any Dashlane app. If you're using the Dashlane web app in Safari, you might need to update to Safari version 18.1 or higher to open the exported file. Alternatively, you can use another browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.
Important: If you're a member of a Dashlane professional plan, you may not have the option to export items from your Business Space. This option depends on your organization's policies. Contact your plan admin for more information. If you want to export personal items, you can move them to your Personal Space.

Does my export include 2-factor authentication (2FA)/OTP tokens?
With Dashlane, you can set up a second layer of protection to access the accounts saved to your vault without needing a separate authentication app. When 2-factor authentication (2FA) is turned on for logins, you're asked for your password and a 2FA token.
Protect logins stored in Dashlane with 2FA
You can't directly export these 2-factor authentication (2FA) tokens from Dashlane to a CSV file. However, the CSV file named credentials contains a column named otpSecret. If you have 2FA turned on for a login stored in your Dashlane account, this column contains a 2FA setup code.
The setup code isn't your 2FA token and won't be added automatically to your login if you import the CSV to another password manager or authenticator. But you can use the setup code to transfer your 2FA protection for that login to another password manager or authenticator.
How do I open a ZIP file on my computer?
On many computers, you can double-click a ZIP file to open it. If you're having trouble opening the file, try these steps depending on your computer:
Windows | Mac | Linux | Chromebook
On the macOS app, your export appears in a folder wherever you choose to save it, such as your "Downloads" folder or your desktop.
Notes about your exported CSV files
- You can import the CSV files into another Dashlane account or another password manager. If you need to review the contents, you can open the files with a spreadsheet program like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.
- The logins and passwords file, which is labeled "credentials," doesn't include items shared with limited rights. Limited rights mean if someone shares an item with you, you can use the item but can't edit, copy, share, or change sharing rights.
How do shared logins with limited rights work? - If you've saved information in the note section of a login, only the first line of the note will be visible when you open the CSV file. But the file contains the full note. You can double-click to verify that all your data is included in the note.
Important: We recommend deleting the ZIP file and all the CSV files from your device when you're finished using them. If you need to store a CSV file of your Dashlane data, use a USB drive and store the drive in a safe location.
