You can also invite members to your plan with Microsoft Active Directory (AD).

Step 4: Onboard your plan members to Dashlane
When members are added to your plan, they see prompts that help them learn to use Dashlane. In addition, here are our top recommendations to onboard them and help them learn:
- Send welcome materials to your plan members:
- Create or update your organization’s password policy to include Dashlane.
Use this template as a guide
Check out our blog post about creating a password policy that members will follow - Ask your plan members to turn on the admin-assisted recovery setting. If they don’t, they might not be able to access their account if they forget their Master Password.
For admins: Manage admin-assisted recovery
For members: Turn on and request admin-assisted recoveryIn addition to admin-assisted recovery, members can set up the account recovery key to help regain access to their accounts if they forget their Master Password. Members can also download and log in to the Dashlane mobile app. If members turn on biometrics and Biometric recovery in the mobile app, they can reset their Master Password using their fingerprint or face.
You can also use GPO (Group Policy Object) to simplify onboarding for plan members:
Use GPO to disable other password managers that members might be using, like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
Disable password managers with GPO
When members accept their invite to Dashlane, they're prompted to download the extension. However, you can deploy the Dashlane extension to your entire organization at once using GPO.
