You can securely store many types of information in Dashlane. Whether you're on your phone or computer, you can quickly sign in to your online accounts and access your data wherever you are.
Types of information you can add to Dashlane:
- Login details like your username or email and your password
- Secure Notes containing information like software keys and WiFi passwords
- Personal information like addresses and phone numbers
- IDs like your driver's license and passport
- Payment information like credit cards and bank accounts
Your logins and data are always “encrypted,” even when we store your data on our servers. Encryption scrambles your data so no one can read it. When you enter your Master Password, your data is “decrypted” on your device and available only to you. No one—not even Dashlane—has access to your information.

Add custom categories to your logins
At this time, custom categories are available for logins only.
You can create custom categories and add them to your logins to help organize your vault. You can create and add as many custom categories as you need for each login.
- In your vault, select the login where you want to add one or more categories.
- If the login has no categories added, select Add a category. If you've already added one or more categories to the login, select Edit in the upper-right corner. Then select Add another category.
- On the next screen, you can create a new custom category or select an existing category.
- After you start entering a new category, Create appears below the text field. When you've entered the category, select Create or Done in the upper-right corner.
- After you choose an existing category, you automatically return to the login's edit screen.
- When you're finished adding and selecting categories, select Save in the upper-right corner. If you don't want to add the categories to your login, select Cancel in the top-left corner and then Leave page.
Your new categories appear in the login's Category or Categories section with a red minus (-) icon. Select the icon to remove categories from your logins anytime. You aren't asked if you want to confirm the removal, but you must select Save to complete the removal.
At this time, you can't make edits or delete custom categories from the list. You can only remove categories that you don't want from each login. For example, if you create a custom category with a misspelling, remove the category from each login where it appears. The category remains in the list.
