We have a new iPhone release today! Dashlane for iPhone version 2.2 is here, bringing fully-functional secure notes and secure sending via Dashlane Courier to iPhone!

Access your secure notes, create new ones, edit or delete them, and sync across all your devices.

Plus, now you can securely send notes and logins to trusted others via Dashlane Courier, and never send sensitive info in plain-text again!

Dashlane Courier will deliver an encrypted message with a unique access code that allows the recipient to decrypt and view your note or login information. Thirty minutes after the message is accessed, the encrypted data is self-destructs and is deleted from the server, keeping your information private and safe.

Also new in the app is iPhone 5 compatibility, complete with retina support and UI, so you can put all of  your screen space to work! 

We’ve also made significant speed improvements to the app, cutting down on loading time and making it faster to use our integrated browser to autofill forms and create new passwords on-the-fly!

Visit the iTunes Store and get the latest version today! And if you love our new update, don’t forget to rate it :)

Not only did PC Magazine don our app with 4.5 stars and their Editor’s Choice award last August, now they’ve named Dashlane as one of The 50 Best Free iPhone Apps of 2013!

As Jill Duffy from PCMag explains, awesome and truly free iPhone apps are hard to come by:

“This list highlights 50 apps, across a number of genres, that we at PCMag think have shown outstanding performance, have been well received by a variety of technology users, and are truly “free.” No gimmicks, no “membership required” or in-app purchase necessary. Free. Period.”

Free, indeed. It’s only fair that if you to start using randomly generated passwords for all your accounts, you access to them on-the-go, when you may need them most. And with an app that “hits the sweet spot between security and laziness”, as Sara Yin from PC Mag puts it, it sounds like we’re doing just that!

We’re very honored and delighted to be named in PCMag’s Top 50, especially among so many greats (and favorites), like Chrome, Draw Something, StumbleUpon and others.  What are some of your favorite iPhone freebies? Tell us in the comments. You could be responsible for someone finding their favorite, new app.

And if you haven’t already downloaded our iPhone app, there’s no time like the present to try it. (Our Android app is free, too!)

Today marks the release of desktop version 1.7.5 and the launch of our all-new, power-packed browser extension, complete with the customizable random password generator!

Here’s what all our new browser extension can do:

Customize your randomly generated passwords: add length, special characters, even make them pronounceable, and auto-fill them in one easy click!

Search for and launch your logins.

Plus, get instant access to Dashlane Tips & Tricks and our help section, and become a Dashlane pro in no time.

Also in this release, we’ve added compatibility for Chrome 25, which includes a tutorial for enabling your browser extension, should it get turned off in Chrome’s next update. Plus, we have new designs for our webcards and notifications.

That’s it for this release! Get the free update today, and let us know how you like it! For help with the update, get in touch at support@dashlane.com. 

This update is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.  

We received some great news earlier this month. Dashlane has been selected to demo at FinovateEurope in London this February!

FinovateEurope is a conference for financial and banking technology innovations, widely known for the demo-only style. Last year’s presenters include some of the biggest names in financial-technology, including PayPal, eToro, and Sandstone. Not to mention, a fellow FirstMark Capital startup, Second Market, is also a Finovate alum. 

Finovate presents a great opportunity for Dashlane to show some of the most innovative minds in Europe’s financial tech-scene just how disruptive our technology is and the implications it has for Europe’s e-commerce market.

Not only that, but it’s a chance to defend our title! Last year at Finovate Fall in NYC, Dashlane went home a winner of the “Best in Show” award, thanks to an equally astounding and entertaining demo of our iPad prototype by Emmanuel Schalit, our CEO, and Nishant Mani, our VP of Partnerships & Marketing.

This time around, we’re planning to demo Dashlane’s core technology: a desktop and mobile app that enables instant checkouts, logins, and form-filling, universally on every website and device, without the need for site-side integration. We may also launch a brand new feature that world has never seen before. You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out!

If you’re planning to attend FinovateEurope and would like to meet at the conference, get in touch by emailing press(at)dashlane(dot)com or send us a DM on Twitter.

Let the countdown begin!

One of our newer features, the Security Alerts, notifies users if any of their online accounts pose a security threat. They’re a feature we launched as part of our objective to build our product around total security for users!

Since October, we’ve enhanced our Security Alerts by partnering with Pwnedlist, a tool that verifies if your accounts have been compromised. With over 29 million entries, Pwnedlist is keeper to “the largest database of stolen credentials” on the web.

Here’s how it works:

1. Dashlane checks with the latest updates to the Pwnedlist database to see if any domains are compromised.
2. When a match is found, Dashlane pushes a Security Alert, notifying you that one of your accounts may have been compromised.
3. Once you receive an alert, visit the Security Dashboard to view any other accounts that share that password.
4. Easily update the compromised accounts by using Dashlane’s Strong Password Generator.

For more info on how to update your passwords, check out our tips. Also, here are answers to couple of common questions we’ve received about the Security Alerts. We welcome any other questions or thoughts that you may want to share in the comments!

Since we can’t see any of your data, how do we know when a password is compromised?

It’s simple. We use the domain name. We send a notice to all Dashlane clients that we were notified of a breach on a given domain. Each Dashlane client checks whether or not you have a password on that site, and it shows the Security Alert if you do.

Why didn’t I read about these breaches in tech news?

They may not be headline-worthy,  but these breaches are still significant. In December of 2012, we alerted our users of over 80 security breaches, which resulted in about 7000 leaked accounts. None of those breaches made tech news, but knowing about them may have saved some of our users a personal data disaster.
