To use the Dashlane Android app, you can create an account or log in to your existing Dashlane account.
If you aren't sure if your device is compatible with Dashlane, check our minimum requirements.
Supported devices and browsers
If you're part of a Dashlane Business plan with single sign-on (SSO) enabled, check out our SSO article. The process is a bit different. SSO means you use one login application to access Dashlane and other work accounts.

Complete these steps to get started with the Android app:
Step 1: Install the Dashlane app
Dashlane might not work in China due to Chinese data privacy laws.
If you don't have Dashlane on your Android device, go to the Google Play Store and install our app. Only install Dashlane from official sources, such as the Google Play Store.
When you use Dashlane in your Chrome, Edge, or Firefox browser on your computer, you need an extension. An extension—also called a plug-in or an add-on—is a small program you install to add features to your computer browser.
You don't need an extension for Android, because everything you need is in the Dashlane app.
Step 2: Create or log in to your Dashlane account
When you open the app for the first time, you can log in to your existing Dashlane account or create a new Dashlane account.
Open the heading that applies to your situation.

Having trouble with the verification code?
If you have a problem with your verification code, close the app and reopen it. You'll receive a new verification code in your email. Make sure you check your spam or junk mail folder.
If you subscribe to Dashlane Premium, each time you add a new device to your Dashlane account, your data automatically syncs to that device.
Move to Step 3: Follow the onboarding checklist
I need to create a Dashlane account
This section explains how to create a Dashlane account protected by a Master Password. But you can also create a secure passwordless account for Dashlane. Passwordless accounts are protected with a device-specific PIN or biometrics, such as your face or fingerprint.
Create a passwordless Dashlane account
To create an account, follow the instructions in the app:
- Open the Dashlane app. At the bottom of the introductory screen, select Get Started.
-
Enter the email address you want to use for your account, which is also called your Dashlane ID. You use this address to log in to your Dashlane account on all your devices. This email address is also where you receive our verification emails, but you can always set a different contact address later. Select Continue.
-
Create your Master Password, which is the password you use to log in to your Dashlane account. Your Master Password is the only password you need to remember when you use Dashlane. And the most important thing you can do to keep your account secure is to create a strong Master Password. Select Need help? See our tips for help creating your Master Password.
Your Master Password also needs to be easy to remember. We can't send you your Master Password if you forget it. No one at Dashlane knows your Master Password, and we don't store your password anywhere. If you forget your Master Password and haven't turned on a recovery method, you may need to reset your account, which will erase all the data you've saved in Dashlane.
- Select Continue.
-
Enter your Master Password again and select Continue.
If you don't like the password you created, you can change it at any time.
- Next, the steps in the For you tab.
Step 3: Follow the steps in the "For you" tab
The For you tab in the Dashlane mobile, iPad, and macOS apps simplifies your experience and maximizes security by centralizing setup tasks and alerts. Use this personalized view to get started with Dashlane easily and stay protected from the start.
From a guided onboarding checklist to secondary features, such as PIN unlock and biometric recovery, this view consolidates your account management and protection into one space.
Beyond initial setup, check for notifications and essential security alerts whenever a badge appears on the tab.

Protect your data
If you forget your Master Password or get locked out of your passwordless account, you can regain access to Dashlane with Dashlane's account recovery key.
After you've set up the recovery key, you can regain access to your Dashlane account without losing any of your data. You'll provide your saved recovery key, complete an identity verification step, and recover your account. If you have a Master Password, we'll also ask you to change your password during the recovery process.
