Adding Passwords

You can manually enter credentials into the application, or via the web browser extension, Dashlane will capture your credentials as you log into websites.  Dashlane only accepts entries with a website/URL.  See next section for images. 

Spaces

Dashlane Business has 2 different spaces that passwords can be stored, Personal and Company (DDC).  This is so you can separate what passwords are personal and what passwords are company related.  That is right, you can store personal passwords too!  It is vital that all company/work related entries are stored in the DDC space.  The space can be selected when entering credentials both manually and via the browser extension.  In the web browser, click More to show options and select the DDC space if available.  Credentials that use your @ddc-dine.com email address will automatically be placed in the DDC Space.

AutoLogin

With the Dashlane browser extension, it defaults to automatically log you into websites credentials are stored for.  This can be changed in the application under more options when editing an entry.

Additional Information

When a third item is needed to complete login, such as Customer PIN for eFaact Timesheets, autologin does not work.  You can store the additional information in Dashlane as a Secondary Login or Note, but it will not automatically input into the PIN entry.  To workaround this, the Remember Me box can be selected at eFaact login page to remember the Customer PIN and allow autologin to take place.  Or, autologin can be turned off for the eFaact page within the application.

For new devices, you will have authenticate by inputting a code sent via email.

You can report a compatibility issue between Dashlane and the site (such as no logo in a field/incorrect info, etc.) via the browser extension by clicking Send Report.
