Dashlane helps you autofill your data on your computer and in your mobile device apps. We recommend updating to the latest version of Dashlane and setting up your Apple device to use Dashlane as your password manager. Then you can access and autofill your Dashlane data.
Minimum requirements for Apple devices
Update your Dashlane Apple app
You can autofill data directly in Safari—the default browser for Apple devices—but also in Chrome, Firefox, and other apps that support autofill.
With Dashlane on Apple devices running iOS 26 or later, you can now more easily save new passwords to your vault using built-in Apple features. Create accounts faster with strong passwords you can use without leaving your app or website.
On devices running iOS 18 or later, Dashlane can autofill details stored in your vault for all supported fields, including usernames, passwords, addresses, payments, and 2FA tokens.
On devices running iOS 17 or earlier, you can only autofill passwords. Apple doesn't allow autofill for certain information, such as addresses or credit card details. If you attempt to autofill in these form fields, your vault will appear empty, and no results will appear in search. To use autofill in more form fields and display the appropriate results in search, you can update your device to iOS 18 or later.

Set up autofill on your iPhone or iPad
At the bottom of the Home screen in the Dashlane app, you may see the message: Log in faster with Autofill. Select Manage to go to your device settings to select Dashlane for autofill. If you don't see the message, use the following steps. You make this change on your device, not in the Dashlane app.
Steps for iOS 26 or later
- In your Apple device's Settings, select General, then AutoFill & Password. Then turn on AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys. For this first step, be sure you're in your device settings, not in the Dashlane app settings.
-
On the AutoFill & Passwords screen, turn on the Dashlane option in the Autofill from section.
We strongly recommend that you turn off the Passwords option. If both options are on, your autofill experience might be less effective. Make sure Dashlane is the only option selected in the Autofill from section.
- Important: For Dashlane to easily save new passwords to your vault using built-in Apple features, turn on Suggest Strong Passwords.
- You can also choose Dashlane for the Set Up Codes in section, which allows you to open verification code setup links and QR codes in the Dashlane app.
Allow Dashlane to send notifications
You can also allow Dashlane to send notifications in your device's settings.
- On your device's Settings screen, not in the Dashlane app, select Notifications.
- On the Notifications screen, scroll down and select Dashlane.
- Turn on Allow Notifications and select how you want to receive them.
Steps iOS 18
- In your Apple device's Settings, select General, then AutoFill & Password. Then turn on AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys. For this first step, be sure you're in your device settings, not in the Dashlane app settings.
-
On the AutoFill & Passwords screen, turn on the Dashlane option in the Autofill from section.
We strongly recommend that you turn off the Passwords option. If both options are on, you may experience a less effective Autofill. Make sure Dashlane is the only option selected in the Autofill from section.
- You can also choose Dashlane for the Set Up Codes in section, which allows you to open verification code setup links and QR codes in the Dashlane app.
Log in with autofill on your iPhone or iPad
If you use an external keyboard with an Apple device, your device might not be able to autofill.
Your experience may vary slightly when you have multiple accounts on a website.
If your device is running iOS 18/macOS 15 and later, you're able to autofill your 2-factor authentication (2FA) tokens automatically.
At least one login in Dashlane matches a website or app
When at least one login in Dashlane matches a website or app, select the suggested account that precedes the keyboard. Dashlane autofills the username and password.
The small key icon opens a menu allowing you to select other accounts.
Your device is confident about which login to use
Based on your operating system, when your device is confident about which of your logins to autofill, that login is suggested in place of the keyboard.
You can still access the keyboard by selecting the small keyboard icon, and your other accounts are also available by selecting the small key icon.
Your device doesn't recognize any login in Dashlane that matches the website or app
If you don't have a login for a website or app, or the login you tried doesn't work, you'll see a generic Passwords option. Select Passwords to open a menu where you can select other logins. Your device may always provide this option for some browsers and apps.
How does autofill work on an iPad?
When you log in to a website on your iPad, no Dashlane D icons appear in form fields. When you click in a field, select the suggested login information that precedes the keyboard.
Select the key icon next to the login to open your Dashlane vault.
Autofill information in most text fields with iOS 18 or later
If your device is running iOS 18 or later, you can use Dashlane’s autofill to enter information stored in your vault in most text fields. Any information you choose to autofill is copied in its entirety, for example, content in a Secure Note.
Note: At this time, Dashlane can't autofill dates, but you can copy this information. Passkeys won't appear because no data exists to autofill.
- Long-press in a field anywhere you want to autofill information. A menu appears.
-
Select Autofill and then select Passwords.
Note: Apple chose the label Passwords, and we can't control the name. While the name might seem specific, the menu is designed to include all available text for you to autofill, not only passwords.
- Your Dashlane vault opens.
- Select the item type you want to autofill, such as Payments.
- Select the item you want, and then select the info you want to autofill. Dashlane autofills the field.
Reminder: For fields where autofill is unavailable, you can copy and paste the information in the field.
Create a new login
If Dashlane doesn't have a login saved for the website you're on, or you want to add a new login for that site, you can create a new login. You can start from the Dashlane app or the website.
