With Secure Notes, you can save important information that needs to be stored securely but accessed easily. You can keep info like software keys and WiFi passwords safe, private, and accessible—and share them securely with anyone you want.
Create a Secure Note
On the web app
- Go to the Secure Notes section.
- Select Add New. The note editor opens.

On your iOS (Apple) device

Search for a Secure Note
Search for a Secure Note using Dashlane's search bar. If you've locked your note, you need to enter your Master Password to access this note from the search bar.
Delete a Secure Note
You can delete any Secure Note from your account. Open or edit the Secure Note and select Delete, sometimes shown as a trash bin icon or as an option in the 3-dot menu.
If you delete a Secure Note someone else created and shared with you, Dashlane will only delete the note from your account. If you delete a Secure Note you created and then shared, Dashlane will delete the note from all Dashlane accounts.
If you no longer want to share a Secure Note with a person or group but don't want to delete the note, you can revoke access to it. Dashlane deletes revoked shared Secure Notes from the other Dashlane accounts.
Share a Secure Note with other people
After creating a Secure Note, you can safely share it with other people with Dashlane accounts. Open or edit the Secure Note and select Share, sometimes shown as a person-with-an-arrow icon. Enter one or more email addresses and select Send.
If you're a member of a Dashlane Starter, Team, or Business plan, you can also share Secure Notes with Dashlane groups.
If you share a Secure Note with the incorrect person or group or change your mind, you can edit or revoke access to the Secure Note. Dashlane deletes the revoked shared Secure Note from the other Dashlane accounts.
Note: For now, you can't attach files to shared Secure Notes, and you can't share notes that already have files attached. Files attached to Secure Notes are not included in DASH exports either.
Assign a category to a Secure Note
You can choose existing categories for your Secure Notes, which helps you sort your notes.
Important: Our desktop app is no longer available. Any categories you created in the desktop apps are still available to select, but you can't create new categories or delete or rename existing categories. We'll do our best to add this feature as soon as possible, but we don't have an estimated delivery date. In the meantime, you can add keywords to the note text and then search for those keywords to locate the item.
Assign a color to a Secure Note
You can assign different colors to your Secure Notes to make them easier to identify. Open or edit the Secure Note and select the Color option, sometimes shown in the Secure Note's More Options section or when you select the wrench icon or the 3-dot menu.
Attach files to a Secure Note
You can attach sensitive documents to Secure Notes to store them securely. When accessing a Secure Note in the web app, go to the Attached Files section and select Attach File. In the mobile app, select the paper clip icon.
How to use secure file storage
Lock and unlock a Secure Note
You can lock a specific Secure Note, so you need your Master Password to unlock it. You won't have to enter your Master Password more than once every five minutes or right after you've logged in.
Require Master Password for individual Secure Notes
Select a Space for your Secure Note
If you're a member of a Dashlane Starter, Team, or Business plan, you can also choose to store the Secure Note in your Personal Space or your Business Space.
