If you want to use Dashlane on Safari, we recommend that you install the Dashlane Safari extension. You'll have access to more of Dashlane's features and tools without needing to open the separate Dashlane macOS app. The Safari extension has our feature-rich extension pop-up and in-browser vault view, as well as the best Autofill capabilities that Dashlane has to offer.

You can turn off Dashlane Autofill for a specific form field, a single page in a website, or an entire website. You can also turn off Autofill for logins and all forms to help improve performance in the event of autofill-related performance issues. You can turn on Autofill again anytime.

All Autofill settings are controlled in the extension pop-up, and you can't change the Autofill settings in your mobile apps or the Dashlane macOS app. When you turn off an Autofill setting, you turn it back on from the same setting.
For example, if you're filling out a form on a website where you don't need to enter any information you've saved in Dashlane, you can turn off Autofill. You can turn on Autofill again anytime.
When you turn off Autofill on any page or website, Dashlane will no longer automatically log you into a website. Dashlane won't autofill sensitive information that you don't want to be added. When you turn off Autofill for all logins or all forms, all the websites you visit are affected. You can turn on Autofill again anytime.
Note: You might come across some websites where the form fields aren't properly recognized. As a result, Dashlane may not be able to log you in automatically or save your information. We've provided some ways you can fix these issues.

Turn off Autofill for all logins, all forms, or specific types of vault items
From the extension, you can turn off Dashlane Autofill for all logins, all forms, or specific types of vault items like names, emails, addresses, and payments. You can also turn off the "copy and paste" pop-ups. Turning off Autofill affects all the websites you visit. You can turn on Autofill again anytime. You can't make changes from your mobile apps or the Dashlane macOS app.
For example, you've saved your address in your vault and turned off Autofill for addresses only. On all websites, the D icon won't appear in address fields. Dashlane won't autofill your address or suggest saving the information you enter. If you have information saved in Dashlane for other form fields, those fields still display a D icon.
Note: When you change Autofill settings in the extension, the settings aren't synced to your mobile devices.
Follow these steps to turn off Autofill for specific data types in your vault:
- Select the Dashlane D in your browser toolbar.
- In the extension pop-up, select Autofill in the top menu and then Global Preferences.
- In the Global Preferences section, you can turn off Autofill for each of these data types on all the websites you visit:
-
Autofill logins: When turned off, Dashlane won't suggest autofilling your saved login information, including email, username, password, and 2FA tokens for any item in your vault. The D icon won't appear in these fields on any website.
Unless you turn off Emails in the Autofill forms section, you might see the D icon and autofill suggestion for email addresses saved in your vault.
If one of the websites you visit automatically adds your login information after you turn off logins in Dashlane, you may have information stored in your browser's password manager. We recommend that you turn off your browser's password manager to avoid a conflict with Dashlane.
- Autofill forms: When turned off, Dashlane won't suggest autofilling personal or payment information. The D icon won't appear in these fields on any website forms. Also, Dashlane won't suggest you save the information you enter.
You can also turn off Autofill for these specific types of vault items:
- Names
- Emails: If you turn off Emails for forms and still have Autofill logins turned on, we'll continue to autofill your email for your saved logins.
- IDs
- Phone numbers
- Addresses
- Payments

Correct and customize Autofill in your browser
Sometimes you may come across a website or page that Dashlane can't or didn't analyze properly. You can change the type of information you want to autofill. The next time you come to the site, Dashlane autofills the information you chose.
Steps to correct Autofill:
- Click in the field to see the Dashlane Autofill pop-up.
- Select the 3-dot menu.
- Choose the option Autofill something else.
- Select the type of information you want to autofill. Dashlane remembers your selection.
For example, a form field has two options for autofill: the phone number and the email address.
Dashlane automatically chooses to use the email address. If you want to autofill the phone number instead, select the Personal info information type and the Phone number. Dashlane applies the change immediately.
Instead of selecting the 3-dot menu, select the magnifying glass at the top of the list. You can choose a specific item in your vault to autofill a field. You can either search for suggested items in the Suggested list or select All items to view all the items in your vault.
Important notes:
- Some forms may have multiple lines for your address, or you may have more than one name to choose from for payment info. You can view the details for each form field on a website and make the proper selection.
- When you choose a new information type, Dashlane remembers the change on that device and browser. Dashlane stores these personal preferences in your browser's cache.
- In the list of data types, you can choose the Nothing option. If you choose this option, Dashlane will no longer autofill your data in this field.
