You have three ways to use Dashlane's Autofill and auto-login features on your computer, so you never have to enter your login details again. You'll spend less time logging into your accounts and more time getting things done.
The process works a little differently if you're on a mobile device. Learn more by visiting our articles for our Android or iOS (Apple) apps.

You have three ways to use Dashlane's auto-login feature:
Option 1: Go to your website as usual
Option 2: Access the website from the Dashlane extension pop-up
Option 3: Access the website directly from the web app
Note: Dashlane customers can now use passkeys instead of passwords to log in to compatible sites and apps. We're still testing the extension for possible problems, but you can already try out passkeys with Dashlane on some sites.

Depending on your settings, Dashlane logs you in automatically if you have a login saved for that website.
If the Dashlane D icons in the login fields are gray, you're logged out or don't have that login saved yet. You can select the gray D icon to add a login or select the 3-dot menu in the pop-up to autofill something else. When you select a field, Dashlane displays a list so you can choose the login you want to use.
- Go to the website. If you don't have a login saved, a note appears: "No login saved for this website yet." To add one, select Add a new login.
- Select the login you want to use to log in to this site. Dashlane autofills the required information and logs you in.
If you don't see the Dashlane D or you want to autofill different information, you can right-click in a form field to open the menu and select Dashlane. From the custom autofill menu, you can select the data you need from your vault or create a new password.
Note: If you use Safari as your browser, the custom Autofill menu won't appear.

If you do see the dark green Dashlane D, you can also click in the field and search for the item you want to use. To search, select the magnifying glass icon at the top of the list to search for a different item in your vault.
Note: If you use Safari as your browser, the search option isn't available in any fields.

Can I change the password that Dashlane autofills for a login?
Yes, you can change your password for a website, and Dashlane will automatically update the login in your vault. Then your login, with the updated password, is ready to autofill on your next visit.
