As we continue to focus on rapid innovation and stronger protection against emerging threats like AI-powered cyberattacks, Dashlane is streamlining our consumer plans and discontinuing the Free plan on September 16, 2025.
This enables us to focus on developing advanced security features to defend customers’ data from threats like breaches and AI-powered phishing.
Here’s what you need to know about this change and how you can stay protected moving forward.
What’s changing?
If you’re already on a paid consumer or business plan, nothing is changing for you.
For Free plan users, you’ve been upgraded to a trial of Premium features. You can buy the Premium plan at an exclusive discount until September 16, 2025.
After that trial period, you can upgrade to a Premium or Friends & Family plan or export your passwords at any time before September 16, 2026.
Here are some key dates to know:
- On August 5th, 2025, existing Free users will be automatically upgraded to a free trial of Dashlane Premium features. During this trial, you can store an unlimited amount of passwords and passkeys, access your data on unlimited devices, get real-time phishing alerts, and securely share passwords. You can decide whether to buy a discounted Premium or Friends & Family plan to continue getting these features or to export your data to a CSV file.
- On September 16th, 2025, your free trial of Premium features ends. You will no longer be able to add to, edit, copy, or view your data in Dashlane, just export it.
- By September 16th, 2026, to maintain access to your data, make sure to upgrade to a Premium or Friends & Family plan or export your data.
We’ll send helpful reminders and easy-to-follow instructions to guide you through this transition before and after your Free plan ends.
Key takeaway: Free plan users have until September 16, 2025 to try out Premium features at no cost before deciding what’s next: Upgrading to a discounted Premium or Friends & Family plan or exporting their data.
Why upgrade to Premium?
Dashlane Premium includes everything you love about the free plan—safe password storage, secure sharing—plus additional features that give you more control and convenience:
- Unlimited passwords and passkeys: Say goodbye to the 25-password limit and start saving every password and passkey in your encrypted vault.
- Access to your logins on any device: Move beyond single-device access and seamlessly sync and access your vault on any device, browser, or operating system.
- Real-time phishing protection: Step up your security and stay ahead of AI-powered phishing with real-time alerts that warn you before you autofill your info on a suspicious site.
- VPN: Stay protected on public Wi-Fi—from your favorite coffee shop to your next flight gate (not included during the trial period).
- Online support: Have a problem? Not a problem, because you can get expert help from our Customer Support team.
Dashlane Premium gives you full access to advanced features without compromises or hidden limits. With stronger protection, better usability, and proven reliability, it’s everything you need to protect your data.
Why upgrade to Friends & Family?
The Friends & Family plan offers everything in Premium for up to 10 people, with each person getting their own private account. VPN is limited to the plan manager.
With just a few clicks, the plan manager can invite others, adjust settings, and remove members.
Keep your whole crew secure with one high-impact, low-cost subscription.
Why choose Dashlane over a free browser password manager?
Password managers specific to a browser or operating system, like Google Password Manager and iCloud Keychain, are convenient and free. However, they come with serious trade-offs in security, control, and flexibility.
Here’s how Dashlane stands apart:
- Stronger security: Dashlane’s zero-knowledge architecture ensures that only you can access your data.
- Better device protection: Dashlane secures access with a Master Password or passwordless login, preventing unauthorized access if your device is lost or stolen.
- Cross-platform support: Dashlane works across devices, browsers, and operating systems, so you’re not locked into one ecosystem.
- Secure sharing: Dashlane lets you securely share credentials, something browser password managers don’t offer.
- Built-in breach alerts: Dashlane scans the dark web and notifies you of data breaches and compromised credentials.
How do I export my data?
To export your data from Dashlane to a CSV file, follow these step-by-step instructions.
