In some cases, you can get a free Premium trial of a Dashlane plan or a discount when you sign up. Dashlane offers free Premium trials for students and anyone who gets a friend to sign up for one of our plans. We also offer a discount for nonprofits signing up for professional plans.
Free Premium trials cancel automatically at the end of the trial period. Then you'll have a Dashlane Free account unless you buy a subscription to another Dashlane plan. You don't lose any data saved in Dashlane when the trial ends.
New and existing Dashlane Free users can save up to 25 logins in their vault. If you have more than 25 logins at the end of your trial, you can’t add any new logins unless you upgrade or remove logins in your account so that you have 25 or fewer. If you have more than 25 logins in your Dashlane Free account, your account will be changed to read-only mode.

Important: If you get Dashlane Premium for free by referring a friend or through our student trial, your plan doesn't include access to our virtual private network (VPN).
