And in this post, I’m gonna compare both the tools based on five key attributes: Well, I’ve decided to end this debate once and for all. Which one is better? Is it Dashlane vs 1Password?
But those who don’t belong to either side or are new to password managers always have this question in their mind: You can view your passwords in the web version, but you can not edit or add passwords that way.Read any piece on the “ best password managers” topic, and two of the top three slots will always be occupied by these two - Dashlane and 1Password.īoth the tools have their own fan following. Till this day the only thing I do not like about Dashlane is the fact they do not have a Linux desktop client. If you do not respond in a timely manner (which is set by yourself) they will get access. When they click the link you will get notified someone is trying to access your passwords. You can send someone an email with a link to all your passwords. One feature that I could not find in other password managers was the emergency function. They have a very nice interface for all their platforms which is also uniform. The website looks solid and contains a lot of information about the product but also a paper about their encryption method.ĭashlane meets all my requirements. I had never heard of Dashlane before I found their website. Pricing: Basic (free), Premium ($39.99/year) Unfortunately LastPass has recently been a victim of a ‘ hack’. Somehow the product did not feel right for me. It was really slow, both the desktop client as well as the website.
#ONE PASSWORD VS DASHLANE SOFTWARE#
After creating an account and installing the software on my Mac (which at the time was a really early Java-based version) the first thing that bothered me was the speed. At the time I could not find any reason not to try this one out. Their website provides good information and looks solid. A lot of people have heard about it or use it. LastPass is probably the most popular password manager. Pricing: Basic (free), Premium ($12/year) I notified them about it and it now has been fixed. One of their support sections required a login which was sent over HTTP. I dug a little more and found some more things I did not like. RoboForm does meet all requirements but I’ve read an article written by a security expert that RoboForm sends some freaky data to their servers. I don’t know if this is still the case, but that got me worried. Somehow I already felt less comfortable about this password manager based on their website. The RoboForm website is absolutely hideous (Dutch website). Pricing: Basic (free), Everywhere ($19.95/year)
#ONE PASSWORD VS DASHLANE WINDOWS#
If you want to use it on a Mac, Windows and iPhone you’d be looking at three licences. You have to buy a separate licence for every platform. The downside of 1Password is the licensing model. They do provide a blog about their encryption method which is good. So if your house burns down with all your devices in it, it could be possible you lose all your passwords. Backup plan – It syncs data between devices but depending on the method of syncing you do not have any backups.It took me a while to find out if it met the requirements. They have a decent website but the landing page does not contain a lot of information. Pricing: Licence per device ($ depending on platform, one time purchase for a version)ġPassword is a popular password manager made by “Agile Bits”. I will only list the requirements the specified manager does not meet. My requirementsīefore I started searching for password managers I made a list of requirements: This is where my journey started to find a suitable password manager. When I reached this point, I started to realize I needed a password manager. (and not LastPass, 1Password or RoboForm)Īt one point you realize you gave up on picking different passwords for new accounts and keep reusing a few passwords.
