We’re excited to inform you that Dashlane 2.0 is here, and it’s on its way to your device! 

It’s the biggest update in Dashlane history. We have a new updates across the board – Mac, PC, iOS and Android – in addition to a spanking new website, and new features. Read on for details.

 Dashlane on desktop (Mac and PC) got a brand new interface.

In addition to our slick new interface, we also redesigned our security dashboard to make it even easier to see what passwords are putting you at risk. Plus, our new security score lets you instantly see your password health in a nutshell. Follow our easy tips to quickly improve your security score, and thus, your online security.

We’ve also made significant improvements to our autofill, which now handles 2-step and 3-field logins, such as banks. Plus, we’ve enhanced the way Dashlane captures your purchases, giving you improved itemized receipts and screenshots of your purchases.

Dashlane for Android is packed with new features.

A large botnet is being used to brute-force passwords for a significant number of WordPress blogs. And by large, we mean large…

The botnet is estimated at using some 90,000 computers and tens of thousands of unique IP addresses in its increasing number of attacks. As is the case with brute-force attacks, conventional methods of stopping them, such as blocking IPs after several failed login attempts, won’t hold up. What’s stopping it?

Strong, unique usernames and passwords.

The attackers are targeting users with the most frequently reused usernames and passwords: admin, test, administrator, root; 123456, 11111, etc. By not using those credentials, Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress says, “…you’ll be ahead of 99 percent of sites out there and probably never have a problem.”

WordPress advises you to update your username and password to something strong and unique. WordPress.com users should enable two-step authentication. We add our strong support to that advice, plus one tip.

Use a password manager

Now is also a good time to set up Dashlane, a password manager that helps protect you against such attacks. When you have the ability to randomly generate and securely store your passwords – and autofill them instantly all over the web – you’re not dependent on having to create easy-to-remember (read: easy-to-guess) passwords or reuse them. And when you have a personalized Security Dashboard showing you where your weak spots are, you can be proactive about your online security. 

For the strongest passwords you’ve ever had – and never had to remember - get Dashlane today.

Dashlane’s Strong Password Generator automatically creates and auto-fills unique passwords for you, making it easier than ever to stop reusing your passwords. It’s just takes a few simple clicks. Here’s how it works:

1. Log in to the site that you want to change the password for, and go to the “change password” page, just like you normally would to change a password. (I’m showing Twitter since we recently launched a Security Alert for it.)

2. Once you click in the “New password” field, and Dashlane’s Strong Password Generator will pop up. Click “Generate Strong Password”.

3. Dashlane automatically fills in your new, randomly generated, strong password. You just have to save the changes you’ve made on the site.

4. Then replace the old password Dashlane has stored with the new one.

What happens if you accidentally click “Cancel”? No worries. You can find all the passwords that you create using the Strong Password Generator here.

Now that you know to create strong passwords without giving yourself a headache, hop to it! Unique passwords are one of the best ways to protect your data online.

When we released desktop version 1.6, we not only introduced Dashlane Courier, we also added another feature which deserves a closer look: the ability to manually add purchases to Dashlane.

To add a new purchase, simply visit the Purchases tab and click Add New Purchase at the bottom the app screen.

From there, you’ll be prompted to add some details about your purchases.

After clicking OK, you can then edit or add more details to your purchase, which you can also amend even when you are automatically tracking receipts through Dashlane:

 It makes keeping track of your purchases through Dashlane even easier!
