I’ve been working in the computer science and Internet industry for a few years now. I’ve built and witnessed the launch of many Internet applications and services. For a long time, and even after the Internet bubble popped, the software and Internet industries were the El Dorado for new entrepreneurs and business challengers. Yet, I feel like we are currently living through a new critical turn; there has been a real perceptible change in our habits and attitude toward information.
Generally speaking, this change can been seen in entertainment and services due to the arrival of the iPhone and of smartphones. Of course, you could still use a phone that is only a phone, but I feel that one day soon, anyone who uses a phone will also have Internet access and applications interacting with the web.
This process likely won’t be complete for another few years, but still the key point for this great change is that the Internet will be available in your pocket in 2 seconds without booting a conventional machine. This has already opened the way to great applications, amazingly wonderful services, and new ways of acting.
The market for smartphone applications is really growing. The consumer need for such services is also here. It is not an artificial new habit that talented marketers have made-up. Internet demands and use cases will be transferred from our computers to our phones, and will add up to an already old bunch of expectations from geeky daydreamers. Because Internet and physical hardware has grown, today we don’t just build small toy applications — we can also deliver great, consistent applications with powerful results for users.
At Dashlane, we are in the process of porting our application to mobile platforms. This will be GREAT.
It will be smart, powerful, and breathtaking.
We already have some wonderful ideas for it. The entire team is looking forward to using Dashlane on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Stay tuned…

I look forward to using this application on my Android phone and my Android tablet. I’ve been searching for a password manager that I can use both on my laptop as well as on my tab and phone while I am working remotely. Even though I knew DashLane wasn’t currently supporting Android, I thought I’d sign up and wait pateintly for the Android support. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Scott! We are looking forward to the release as well. We will keep you posted.
In the meantime you can access your information and passwords on your mobile through our webapp. http://ow.ly/8Vi5J Just click on sign-in at the top right on the home page to login.
Any love for Windows Phone? :D
I was going to ask the same thing. I want to sign up, but only if there are plans to bring it to Windows Phone.
Agreed… please develop for Windows Phone. Thanks!
Will this be free even after the beta? I’m currently looking for an alternative to LastPass and it’d be great if there was one that offered mobile support without a premium/pro account.
All of the features that you have access to in the beta will remain free.
Wondering what the time table is for the iPhone app? any idea?
We should have something to show you in May. :)
“The market for smartphone applications is really growing.”
blahblahblah… Just start coding ! :-)
Can’t wait for the iPhone app. ALSO— When will you be rolling out these updates and changing the status of the company? I am waiting for a version to come out for the Chrome based browser: Rockmelt.
We’ll be coming out of beta rather soon…. And that’s all we can say for now ;)
Is there any update as to when the Dashlane iPhone App will be released?
HI The sooner we can have a Dashlane for iPad the better… I am dying holding my breathe!
