To use autofill on your computer, you need the latest version of the Dashlane browser extension for the browser you're using. An extension—also called a plug-in—is a small program you download to add features to your browser.

Check for the latest version of the extension

You also need to log in to Dashlane. The Dashlane D is dark green (or dark gray in Safari) if you're logged in and orange (or light gray in Safari) if you're not logged in. If you're not logged in, select the Dashlane D and select Log in.

For most browsers, the extension icon is to the right of your address bar. In Safari, the extension icon is to the left of your address bar. If you haven't pinned the extension, you might not see the extension in your toolbar. In that case, check your browser extensions menu.

We strongly recommend that you turn off autofill for other password managers and browsers.

Turn off autofill for other password managers and browsers

If you've logged in to the extension, but autofill still isn't working, sometimes these steps will fix the problem:

• Refresh the page
• Close and reopen the browser
• Clear the cookies and cache for the browser

Check your Dashlane account for the item you want to autofill, and then check the item itself to make sure all the correct info is included.

For a login to work with autofill, you need to enter at least the Website, Username, or Email address, and Password. But we recommend entering as much information as possible. Also, make sure that you've saved the info in the correct item fields.

Make sure that the address of the webpage you’re trying to autofill matches the address you've saved in Dashlane for that login. The address might be a "subdomain" or secondary webpage. For example, you might see shop.spotify.com rather than www.spotify.com. For autofill to work correctly, you may need to add the subdomain to the login in Dashlane.

Websites and apps that ask for extra login info

Some websites ask for extra login information—like an ID number, a PIN code, or a secret phrase—in addition to a username and password. If a site or app asks for extra login info, we recommend these steps:

1. Store extra login information in the Alternate username section of the login saved in Dashlane
2. Go to the site or app that asks for extra login info.

3. Find the extra login field, select the Dashlane D for that field, and select the login you want to autofill. If you don't see the Dashlane D or Dashlane autofills the wrong info, follow these steps:

   • Right-click in the extra login field and select Dashlane.
   • Find and select the login for the site or app.
   • Select Alternative username.

   Dashlane autofills the extra login information you saved in the Alternative username in the first step.

4. Log in to your account.

Dashlane remembers your selection and will autofill the information saved in the Alternative username section the next time you log in.

Complex forms and logins

For complex forms and logins, you may need to add information to several sections of your Dashlane account. For example, some logins require both an ID number and a password. In this case, you need to make sure you’ve entered the correct information in both the IDs and Logins sections of Dashlane.

Sometimes Dashlane autofills the wrong information. But we make this problem easy to fix.

1. Select the field with incorrect information.
2. Select the 3-dot menu and then select Autofill something else from the list.

3. Choose the item you want to autofill from the list.

   

   

   

4. You can also select the magnifying glass icon to search Dashlane for another item in your vault.

   

   

Use the right-click menu to choose an item to autofill

You can right-click on a field and select Dashlane. A menu appears with possible items to autofill.

Other steps

For complex forms and logins, you may need to add information to several sections of your Dashlane account. For example, some logins require both an ID number and a password. In this case, you need to make sure you’ve entered the correct information in both the IDs and Logins sections of Dashlane.

Some forms may have multiple lines for your address, or you may have more than one name to choose from for payment info. You can view the details for each form field on a website and make the proper selection.

View details of each item

We turn on autofill automatically when you install the extension. But you can turn off autofill for any of the websites or form fields you use. If autofill isn't working, check your autofill settings for the website you want to use.

Make sure autofill is turned on for the website where you're having a problem

1. Go to the website you want to use with autofill.

2. Select the Dashlane D in your browser toolbar.

   

3. In the extension pop-up, select Autofill in the top menu to open the website's autofill settings.

4. In the next pop-up, we tell you if autofill is paused for the website you're using. You can select Resume to start using autofill again for that website.

   If autofill is turned on for the website, you see a note informing you that we turn on autofill automatically. You have the option to pause autofill for this website.

   

   

Autofill may be turned off by your admin for certain websites and IP addresses

If you're part of a Dashlane professional plan, your plan admin controls Dashlane's autofill and auto-login features. If you notice that autofill isn't working on a website, your admin might have paused autofill for that website or IP address.

To check, open your extension and select Autofill in the top menu to open the website's autofill settings. If the Resume option is gray, your admin turned off autofill, and autofill won't work for the website or IP address. If you believe that autofill was turned off by mistake, contact your plan admin.

Make sure autofill is turned on for the form field where you're having a problem

From the Dashlane browser extension, you can turn off autofill for all logins, all forms, or specific types of vault items like names, emails, addresses, and payments. You can also turn off the "copy and paste" pop-ups. Turning off autofill affects all the websites you visit. Check if you turned off autofill for the field you're having problems with. You can turn on autofill again anytime.

For example, you've saved your address in your vault and turned off autofill for addresses only. On all websites, the D icon won't appear in address fields. Dashlane won't autofill your address or suggest saving the information you enter. If you have information saved in Dashlane for other form fields, those fields still display a D icon.

Turn on autofill for specific vault items and the pop-ups

If you aren't automatically logged in to a website and the global Auto-login setting is turned on, check to make sure the Auto-login setting for each website is also turned on.

Stop automatically logging in to one or all websites

On some websites, Dashlane autofill doesn't work, or it only works in certain situations.

Virtual and onscreen keyboards

You can't autofill when you use a virtual keyboard, also known as an onscreen keyboard. These keyboards don't work well with Dashlane. We can sometimes autofill your username, but you usually need to enter the password manually.

CAPTCHA codes

Dashlane can't autofill CAPTCHA codes because these are temporary codes generated by the website. You need to enter the code manually.

Flash and Silverlight

Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight are programs for creating interactive visual effects on websites. Autofill doesn't work on websites that use these programs.

Basic Auth

Basic Auth, also known as basic access authentication, is a type of login used for extra security. Basic Auth is sometimes used by companies for their internal sites and certain banks and financial institutions.

Dashlane autofill works with Basic Auth, but only in Chrome and Firefox for secured websites—web addresses beginning with "https" and not "http." In this situation, autofill works best when only one login is saved per website.

The address might be a "subdomain" or secondary webpage. For example, you might see shop.spotify.com rather than www.spotify.com. For autofill to work correctly, you may need to add the subdomain to the login in Dashlane.

How to manage subdomains in Dashlane

1. Select the field with incorrect information.

3. Search Dashlane for the information you want to autofill. Or add the details of the new login.

   

If these steps don't solve the problem, go to the Dashlane app and find the item you want to autofill. Make sure that you've saved the item info in the correct places.
