I’m a virtual executive assistant and administrative coordinator working solo with several nonprofit and small business clients in Quebec. Part of my job is holding and managing access to my clients’ platforms: Microsoft, apps, training platforms, event and survey tools, and dozens of smaller services. I’ve been using Dashlane for more than 6 months.
The Collections are the backbone: one per client, so I never guess which login belongs to whom, and I can hand everything back cleanly when a mandate ends. The integrations make it invisible in my day: the Chrome extension autofills logins on every client platform I use, and the Android apps keep the same vault in sync, so a password saved on my laptop is on my phone a few seconds later. Performance has never been an issue: autofill is instant, sync is immediate, and I don’t remember a day where the vault was unavailable when I needed a client login.
Having my two-factor inside the Chrome extension is the feature I’d miss most. I log into client accounts a dozen times a day, and not reaching for my phone each time saves real minutes and keeps me in flow. The password generator lets me set length, numbers and symbols to match each site’s rules, so every account gets a strong, unique password.
Secure sharing is how I exchange credentials with clients and external collaborators, even those who don’t use Dashlane, thanks to the temporary sharing links. No more passwords in email threads.
Dashlane doesn’t try to be an AI assistant, and I’m fine with that. The intelligent parts work quietly: Password Health flags weak, reused and compromised passwords with a score, Dark Web Monitoring alerts me when a monitored address shows up in a breach, and the extension recognizes login forms well enough that I rarely fill anything by hand.

Saving a second or third account on the same platform is still buggy. With Microsoft 365, where I hold separate logins for several clients, Dashlane often offers to update or replace an existing login instead of saving a new one. Because these credentials aren’t mine, overwriting one would be a serious mistake, so I double-check every time. I’d like a clear “save as a separate account” option in the prompt, and a visible account label in the autofill menu so I pick the right client at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
