Credential Risk Detection, AI Phishing Alerts, and Credential Risk Alerts are available to organizations with Credential Protection.
If you have Credential Protection and are deploying the Dashlane browser extension, you can deploy the Credential Protection features at the same time:
This guide covers how to deploy the risk detection policy and silently deploy the Dashlane extension in a single PowerShell script through your mobile device management (MDM) tool, without modifying the user’s browser autofill settings. This streamlined process handles policy and extension deployment in a single step, rather than the standard two-step process.
The PowerShell script available in the Intune section of the 'Policy Deployment' page can be used in other MDM tools.
Important: Dashlane provides direct support for Intune and GPO. This walkthrough uses the script generated for Intune deployment. The script itself applies standard Chrome/Edge policy values, so it can typically be deployed via other MDM tools that support PowerShell scripts. Deployment steps and troubleshooting will vary by MDM tool and aren't covered here.

Although Credential Protection features are most beneficial when rolled out to your entire organization, you can start with a smaller group (or just yourself) during setup, and extend it to more employees anytime. To add more employees, update the groups included in your policy deployment.
Process overview
Estimated time to complete: 15 minutes
Prerequisites
Make sure you have the appropriate access needed to set up Credential Protection features:
- Admin access to a Dashlane account with Credential Protection
- Admin access to your organization’s MDM tool
- Permission to deploy policies to devices using your organization’s MDM tool
Important: You don’t currently manage the extension list in any other way, such as in Intune or group policy. Deploying Dashlane via this script will uninstall other managed extensions.
One-step deployment
In the Dashlane Admin Console, start the setup:
- Log in to the Dashlane browser extension and open the Admin Console
- Under Integrations, select Deployment.
-
On the Deployment page, select Start setup.
-
On the Setup page, select Try Beta to see the policy deployment guide.
-
Select the Intune option and the browsers you're deploying to. Ensure your selection is accurate before downloading the script so your file is created correctly.
- Select Download. Your device automatically downloads a script file so you can apply the Credential Protection policy to your deployment software. After the file downloads, open your MDM.
In your MDM tool:
- Create a new policy
-
Apply the script you downloaded to a user group.
- Make sure it runs as the system account.
After performing these steps, the deployment might take up to eight hours, but it's usually faster.
Check that the policy was applied:
Using a device that was part of the group the script was deployed to, go to Registry Editor and select the following folders in order.
Chrome:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\fdjamakpfbbddfjaooikfcpapjohcfmg\policy
Edge:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\gehmmocbbkpblljhkekmfhjpfbkclbph\policy
In the extensions, you'll see a folder named using the Dashlane browser extension ID. Under that folder, the policy folder contains the actual values of the Credential Protection policy.
Once you have verified the policy is active on target machines, the browsers will silently fetch and install the Dashlane extension in the background without any visible prompts or actions required from your employees.
You can then go back to the Dashlane Admin Console and to Policy deployment and select Mark as done to confirm the policy setup.
Under Available security tools, toggle on the features you want to activate:
- Risk Detection
- Credential Risk Alerts
- AI Phishing Alerts
All threat logs, intercepted phishing attempts, and risk indicators will begin populating in your Admin Console’s Activity Log, Risk Detection, and Phishing Alerts dashboards.
If the extension didn't install
- Confirm the Dashlane desktop extension was deployed. The script exits silently if it can't detect a signed-in user, which usually means Credential Risk Detection wasn't present.
- Check the platform script's status in your MDM
What is a silent deployment?
A "silent deployment" of the extension means installing the extension on employees' company-managed desktop browsers without any visible prompts or interaction needed from the employee.
