You can authorize Dashlane to be used on various devices. Devices can be a mobile phone or tablet, like an Android phone or an iPhone or iPad, or a browser on a particular computer, like Chrome in macOS.
You must authorize each browser you want to use to access Dashlane. For example, if you want to use Dashlane in both Chrome and Firefox on your macOS computer and your iPhone and iPad, you would authorize four devices: Chrome, Firefox, iPhone, and iPad.
You can manage your authorized devices in all Dashlane apps, including renaming or revoking access to each authorized device. Revoking access to a device removes your data from that device. You can use the icons to the left of your devices to tell where they come from:
- Windows icon for PCs
- Apple icon for Macs, iPads, and iPhones
- Smartphone for Android phones
- Globe for a browser used with the web app
Note: You cannot revoke access for the device you are currently using. It will not give you the option to do so. To revoke access for the device you're using, log into the app on another device.
For security and privacy reasons, Dashlane automatically revokes access to devices that have been inactive for more than one year. If you need to use Dashlane on those devices, you must reauthenticate using a security code.

I received an email saying I authorized a new device to my Dashlane account, but I didn't?
You need to authorize your device when you sign in to the web app, and you must reauthorize your device if you use a different browser, empty your browser's cache, or delete your cookies. You also must reauthorize your device if you reinstall Dashlane completely. For this reason, you might see several entries for the same device, which could explain why you received such an email.
If you're concerned that someone has your Master Password, remember they'd 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. To further increase your security, protect your Dashlane account with two-factor authentication.
