Autofill your data using Dashlane

Dashlane not only helps you make strong, unique logins and keeps track of them for you, but it can also autofill this information and speed up online purchases.

The autofill engine is what Dashlane uses to analyze the content and identify the different types of fields on the web pages you visit. It enables Dashlane to offer the most relevant information for autofill and contextual help when you create an online login or change a password, for example.

Machine Learning autofill engine

Earlier versions of Dashlane's autofill feature used a semantic rule engine, which used a set of rules our engineers developed to identify fields on web pages. That meant that if a website didn't match those human-set rules, the engine might not recognize the fields properly. This required heavy maintenance and impacted your computer's performance.

As we've focused more on a web-based environment, we introduced an autofill engine powered by machine learning. Instead of using a set of rules, we "fed" the engine with a large number of websites that we classified manually, and the engine used those examples to learn how to recognize fields on its own. As a result, this engine is more efficient when identifying fields in different contexts.

The main advantages of this new engine:

• Improved accuracy
• Faster adaptation: The engine powered by machine learning can better adjust to web standards changes
• Lower maintenance cost: More resources are available to build upon instead of just maintaining
• Faster and lighter: The engine has less impact on your computer's performance

Easy one-step log in

Dashlane can log you into all your accounts in one step.

When visiting a website, look for the Dashlane D icon in the login fields. A dark green D icon means that we have the information already, and a gray icon means that we don't, and you'll have to enter it manually.

Add your login information to Dashlane

Place your cursor in the field to have Dashlane display a list for you to choose the information or identify what you want to use. Dashlane auto-fills the fields based on the information you've saved in the app.

For example, when you're in an "Email" field and select the correct login, Dashlane logs you in automatically.

When visiting a website where you don't have an account, Dashlane lets you know you don't have any passwords saved for the site yet.

Turn off autofill for certain sites

If you don't want Dashlane to autofill certain sites, you can turn off autofill either on one unique web page, the entire website, or a unique form field.

Turn off autofill:

1. Go to the page or site where you want to turn off autofill.
2. Select the Dashlane "D" icon in your browser.
3. In the extension menu, select the Autofill tab to access the website's autofill settings.
4. Choose either This entire website or This page only to control the autofill settings for the website as a whole or a particular webpage.
5. Choose an option:
   • Everything: Have Dashlane working fully
   • Only username and passwords: Autofill login information only
   • Don't autofill: Completely turn off Dashlane on this website or page

If you disable Dashlane autofill for the entire website, autofill won't work on any website page.

Disable autofill on a specific site or a form field

Automatically fill in forms

Are you tired of filling in the same registration information every time you sign up online? Let Dashlane do the work.

Place your cursor in a field and select the information you want to use to autofill the form. Dashlane autofills the form.

Sometimes, you might come across a field that Dashlane can't identify correctly. As a result, Dashlane may not be able to log you in automatically or save your login details.

Fix field issues

Speed up online purchases

Dashlane helps you complete your purchases in seconds.

Place your cursor in the field where you need to enter your credit card number, choose which of your credit cards you want to use, and Dashlane autofills the information for you.

For security reasons, Dashlane prompts you to enter your Master Password before Dashlane autofills the information.

Manage website subdomains

A domain is an identifier used to name a location on the internet. For example, our domain is dashlane.com. A subdomain is a domain with a prefix before the main domain's name. For example, you're currently reading a page on our subdomain support.dashlane.com.

In Dashlane, you can assign passwords to specific subdomains—such as bugzilla.mozilla.com and addons.mozilla.com—and make sure they're kept separate instead of suggesting the same login details for any site with the same domain—in this example, mozilla.com.

You can configure Dashlane to use the correct login of all the logins that share the same domain or even associated domains.

Managing associated websites

For example, if you have one login for user.dashlane.com and one for support.dashlane.com, Dashlane automatically proposes both logins when you sign in to user.dashlane.com.

Ensure that Dashlane displays the correct login for the appropriate subdomain:

1. Open a login.
2. Make sure the Website is correct and contains the subdomain.
3. Select Autofill options to expand the list of options.
4. Select Only autofill on exact URL.

   

Dashlane currently supports only one level of subdomain. For example, Dashlane supports support.dashlane.com but not user.support.dashlane.com, which has two subdomain levels: user and support.

Manage associated websites

You can use some online logins on multiple websites or domains. For example, you need only one Amazon login, but you can use it on amazon.com, amazon.fr, amazon.co.uk, and so on.

Dashlane makes a single login available for autofill on different websites or domains when appropriate. This feature works with a list of associated websites that we maintain and update manually on our end. For now, you can't edit this list from Dashlane.

See which websites are associated with a login:

1. Open the web app: Select the Dashlane D icon in your browser’s toolbar and enter your Master Password if prompted. Then in the extension pop-up, select Open the web app.
2. Select the login to open its details.
3. Select Autofill options to expand the list of options. You see how many websites are associated with the login.
4. Select the blue associated websites panel to see the list of websites.

If you want a login offered for autofill only on the domain you saved it for initially, select the Autofill only on exact URL option.
