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.
If you're on a mobile device, the process works a little differently. Learn more by visiting our pages for people using the Android or iOS 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
Option 1: Go to your website as usual
If you have a login saved for that website, depending on your settings, Dashlane logs you in automatically.
If the Dashlane "D" icons in the login fields are gray, you're logged out or don't have that login saved yet. When you click in a field, Dashlane displays a list for you to choose the login you want to use.
- Go to the website. If you don't have a login saved, a note displays with "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.

Option 2: Access the website from the Dashlane extension pop-up
- In your browser, select the Dashlane extension icon. A pop-up opens where you can search or browse for the login details you've stored in Dashlane.
- Select Open website to go to that site and have Dashlane log you in automatically.
At the top of the list of logins in the Vault tab of the extension pop-up, Dashlane suggests logins relevant to the website you're visiting. If you don't have a login saved in Dashlane for the website you're visiting, Dashlane suggests you add one.
If you have multiple logins for this website, Dashlane asks which one you want to use and then logs you into that account using its login details.
Option 3: Access the website directly from the web app
- In the web app, go to your Logins section and find the website you want to log in to.
- To open the website, select Go to website, shown as a small square icon with an arrow.
Quick tip: When you search for logins in the search bar, you can also open the website directly from the search results.
