What problem do passkeys solve?

Passwords are hard to remember, time-consuming to manage, and one of the easiest things for cybercriminals to steal. The repercussions of stolen passwords are bad enough for individuals—and for organizations, the financial and reputational damage can be devastating. While there have been attempts to get rid of passwords and replace them with other authentication solutions over the years, nothing has genuinely taken away the friction of a username and password or been faster and easier to use. This is finally changing with the advent of passkeys, which are a new, phishing-resistant replacement for passwords. And unlike passwords, you can’t forget passkeys because you never have to remember them. So, in short, passkeys solve the password problem.

Why is using passkeys with Dashlane easier than a platform solution like iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager?

While passkeys are one of the most revolutionary security advancements in decades, there are still limitations to this nascent tech. One main hurdle is that a passkey created in one ecosystem (like Apple) doesn’t easily work well with others (like Google Chrome), which makes for a clunky experience. But as a third-party passkey manager, Dashlane syncs all your passkeys and saves them in the vault so you can seamlessly access websites and apps across devices. Store your passkeys in your Dashlane vault as easily and securely as you store passwords, and use them across all devices and platforms. Whether you’re using passwords or passkeys, you’ll enjoy the award-winning UX and convenience that’s made Dashlane one of the most well-loved password managers available today.

Why is Dashlane supporting both passwords and passkeys?

Passwords won’t disappear overnight. Passwords and passkeys have to coexist as more websites, apps, and services make the switch—not unlike the transition from cash-only to credit cards. That’s why Dashlane makes it easy to manage and switch between passwords and passkeys as we make our way toward a passwordless future.

What’s next for authentication at Dashlane?

The future is passwordless, and Dashlane is helping to pave the way. We’ve always said we’re more than a password manager, protecting secrets, credentials, personal or sensitive info, and other authentication data. Until recently, this authentication data has, by and large, been made up of passwords—but before long, it will be passkeys. Our support for passkeys allows consumers and businesses to begin transitioning away from passwords and move toward secure passwordless technologies.

As online life changes and security needs grow, Dashlane will be here to protect your access and data with game-changing innovations.
