Dashlane for Safari

The Dashlane web app delivers an updated and improved Dashlane experience, allowing you to autofill and manage your passwords directly within your browser.

Dashlane for Safari is completely independent of the Dashlane desktop app. If you already used Dashlane in Safari, what's different? Everything and nothing—it's still the Dashlane you know and love, but updated and improved.

See this page for general information about how to use Dashlane in your browser, but please note that our Dashlane for Safari app is currently in Beta testing, meaning that it might not work exactly as the extensions available on other browsers.

Also, as mentioned in our Minimum requirements, please note that Dashlane for Safari requires running macOS 10.14 or above.

Below, find out how to install Dashlane for Safari, and about the features specific to our Safari app.

Installing Dashlane for Safari

To install the extension, either click here or follow these steps:

1. Open the App Store on your Mac
2. Search for "Dashlane for Safari"
3. Click on GET and then INSTALL to install the application
4. Open Dashlane for Safari
5. Click on Open Preferences to enable Dashlane
6. The Extensions tab within Safari will open, and from there you should enable the extension by ticking the box next to it. Please note: If you have the old extension enabled you must disable it in order to use the new one.

Also, we strongly recommend that you disable Keychain. Having both autofill methods enabled will give you a confusing and less-effective user experience.

And you're all set!

New features

Dashlane for Safari gives you all the features you previously used in Safari, plus much more:

Account creation

If you haven't already created your account, you can do so directly within the extension.

Just click on Create an account and follow the provided instructions.
And that's it! You'll be Dashing in no time!

Touch ID compatibility

Dashlane for Safari now allows you to log in to Dashlane and unlock your vault using the Touch ID biometric feature on your Mac.

This feature can be enabled on the Extension preferences menu, by ticking the option Use Touch ID.

Note that when you enable Use Touch ID, the option to remember your Master Password for 14 days will be disabled.

Unlock Dashlane with your Apple Watch

If you own an Apple Watch, you can also use it to unlock Dashlane for Safari.

Please note: To use this feature you must need to enable the Auto-Unlock feature on your Mac.

Easier password copy-paste feature
