Dashlane Team Rollout (non-SSO)
Dashlane Team plan members will create and use a Master Password to sign in to Dashlane. If you would like them to log in with SSO, please follow the steps in the Dashlane Business Rollout (SSO) section.
Phase 1: Getting started
- Sign up for a Dashlane trial: Create your trial account and first administrator account. You'll have 14 days to explore Dashlane and invite up to 500 users.
- Request a demo with our sales team (optional): Our Sales and Customer Success departments can assist with a demo and training and work with your procurement department.
- Download the web extension.
- Access the Dashlane Admin Console: Once logged in to the Dashlane extension, click the D extension icon, click the three dots in the upper right corner, and click Open the Admin Console.
- Set up Dashlane Policies: Setting Dashlane policies to match your desired outcomes ensures your organization is set up for success from day one.
- Invite trial users using your chosen provisioning method:
- Active Directory Sync
- Azure AD sync
- Add e-mail addresses on the Users tab of the Dashlane admin console
We recommend selecting users from across your business to get the most out of your trial.
Phase 2: Prepare for deployment
- Update your Company password policy: Password security is an integral part of a company security policy. Update your company security policy to include securely storing company accounts in Dashlane.

Phase 3: Deploy into production
- Deploy Dashlane Extension: During onboarding, Dashlane prompts users to install the extension for their browser, but you may want to deploy the extension on behalf of the users. You can find the extension IDs and the ADMX (XML‑based administrative) template file requirements in the GPO Deployment Guide.
- Disable browser-based password managers: Fully secure your business by disabling the personal password managers packaged in each browser.
- Monitor your company password health score from the Dashlane Admin Console.
