With iOS, logging in with Dashlane has never been easier. Once you have updated to the latest version of Dashlane and configured your iOS device to use Dashlane as your password manager, you can access and fill your Dashlane passwords directly within Safari—the default browser on iOS—but even in Chrome, Firefox, and other apps that have chosen to include this capability.
Please keep in mind that on iOS we can only autofill login information, meaning a login, an email address, and a password. The iOS autofill API doesn’t offer to autofill other information like addresses or credit card info.

How to set up autofill on iOS
Go into your iOS device's Settings, select Passwords, then select AutoFill Passwords.
Once inside AutoFill Passwords, you will see the Keychain and Dashlane proposed for auto-filling. Select Dashlane. We very strongly recommend that you unselect the Keychain. Having both selected will create a confusing and less-effective user experience.
How to log in with autofill on iOS
Once you have Dashlane set up to autofill your passwords, note that your experience may vary slightly if you have more than one account on a website, or depending on how confident your device is about which password you would like to use.
When you have at least one account in Dashlane that matches the website or app
Simply click on the proposed account, and Dashlane will autofill the email and password. Note that the small key icon opens a menu allowing you to select other accounts.
When your device is especially confident it knows which account to use
If your device is confident about which of your accounts you would like autofilled, it will propose that account in place of the keyboard. Note that the keyboard is still available by clicking on the small icon on the lower left, and your other accounts are available by clicking on the small key icon on the lower right.
If your device does not recognize any account in Dashlane that matches the website or app
If you do not have an account for a website or app, or if the account you just tried did not work, your device will propose a generic Passwords button that opens a menu allowing you to select other accounts. Your device may systematically propose this option for some browsers and apps.
Using the autofill feature
Creating a new account
If Dashlane doesn't have any credentials saved for the website you're on, or if you want to add a new account for that site, you can create it directly from the login interface. Click on "Add a new password," enter the new information, tap "Save", and Dashlane will autofill it for you.
