You can authorize Dashlane for use on various devices, such as an Android phone, an iPhone, or a tablet like an iPad. You can also use a browser on a particular computer, such as Chrome with macOS.
You need to authorize each browser you want to use to access Dashlane. For example, you can use Dashlane in both Chrome and Firefox on your macOS computer and your iPhone and iPad. So, you'll need to authorize: Chrome, Firefox, iPhone, and iPad.
You can manage your authorized devices in all Dashlane apps, including renaming or revoking access for each authorized device. When you revoke access to a device, your data is removed from that device. You can use the icons next to your device names to tell where they come from:
- Windows icon for PCs
- Apple icon for Macs, iPads, and iPhones
- Smartphone icon for Android phones
- Globe icon for a browser used with the web app
Note: You can't revoke access for the device you're currently using. You won't have the option to do so. You need to log into the app on another device and revoke access for this device.
For security and privacy reasons, Dashlane automatically revokes access to devices that have been inactive for more than one year. To use Dashlane on those devices, you need to reauthenticate with a verification code or token.

You need to reauthorize your device if you use a different browser, empty your browser's cache, delete your cookies, or reinstall Dashlane completely. For these reasons, you might see several entries for the same device, which might explain why you received this email.
If you're concerned that someone has your Master Password, remember they need access to your email inbox to authorize a new device and access your account. If you're still worried, change your Master Password to a new, stronger one.
