Dashlane warns you when you try to autofill a password that was involved in a security breach. These alerts are available to Business Plus members only, and they only appear in web browsers where you're using the Dashlane extension.

A breach is when someone gets illegal access to the servers of a website or app. When we warn you about a breach, it doesn't always mean that others have access to your personal information. Instead, an alert means that your information is at risk because a site you use has been breached.

These security alerts are turned on automatically for members of Business Plus plans.

What other security alerts does Dashlane offer?

What do I see when I get an alert?

If your password has been involved in a security breach, you'll see a Compromised label in the autofill pop-up. After autofilling the password, you'll also see a security alert with more information. You'll see this alert every time you log in until you change your password.

Important: All Dashlane security alerts follow our zero-knowledge principle. We identify logins involved in breaches without ever having access to your passwords or other data stored in your Dashlane account.

What should I do when I get a security alert?

1. Change your password for the website you just logged in to. The process depends on the site. In general, you can start by opening your account or security settings and looking for an option to change your password.
2. Save your new password in Dashlane.

If you don't update affected passwords after a security alert, you and your organization are at risk of unauthorized transactions, identity theft, and other cyber attacks. Make sure to use Dashlane's Password Generator to generate new and unique passwords for each account.

Make sure your new password is strong and unique
