How to access the web app and manage your Dashlane account

Though most of the key features of Dashlane are available directly by clicking on the Dashlane icon in your browser, the web app interface allows you to perform a wider set of actions.

How to access the web app

You currently have three different ways of accessing the web app.

Option 1: The first and the most direct way is to go to https://app.dashlane.com/login after your extension is installed and properly set up. You can access this URL if the extension isn't set up, but it opens a version of the web app with fewer features that doesn't allow autofill.

Option 2: Log in to Dashlane in the extension and click the Open the web app button at the bottom of the window.

Option 3: Log in to Dashlane in the extension, access the More tab, and click Open the app.
