Password Manager - Dashlane

Updated on

This article describes the process for adding Dashlane to your devices and how to add logins/passwords to Dashlane.

Dashlane is a password manager that simplifies everything you do online. The Dashlane app securely stores and autofills all your passwords, payments, and personal information at work, home, and anywhere else you use the internet. It works across most major devices and platforms, so you can count on it to fill your passwords even if you use a PC at work and a MacBook at home.

With Dashlane, you can keep your business and personal accounts separate. CPM has set policies about which passwords get sorted into which Space (CPM or Personal) and monitor password health, without compromising the privacy of your Personal Space.

Dashlane Support articles may be helpful.  However, CPM uses SSO for login and may have customized the business account. Use the CPM Tech-Helpdesk channel in Slack to request help from the workflow at the top of the channel.
