The account will be created, and you will be automatically signed in to the account and extensions.

Note: We can create a master password to add a second layer of security and avoid misuse of passwords without authentication.

Step 3: Save and Sync passwords in Dashlane Account

Once you’ve created a Dashlane account, you can add notes, credit card details, and, most importantly, your existing passwords.

You can manually fill in the account username and password or automatically fill in using the built-in import feature. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Login to your Dashlane account and switch to the Logins tab.
   You will see two options, Add new and Import data.
2. Click on + Add new button.
3. Enter the Account Details like Website URL, Username, Password, Name, and other information.
   
4. You can optionally enable the checkbox for – Automatically log me into this website for autofilling the saved passwords.
5. Hit on the Save button to store the password safely in Dashlane.

Similarly, you can keep adding other username and password info into the Dashlane.

Step 4: Import Saved Password for other Sources

If you have stored passwords in other services, you directly import the saved password into Dashlane Password Manager.

After storing all the passwords and information, you can enable sync options across all installed devices for easy accessibility. Ensure syncing is enabled to sync your passwords on other devices. To do this, click the My Account link and select Settings in the top right corner.

It will open the Settings pane, and finally, click the Sync now option.

Note: For the sync to work, you must sign in to the Dashlane on different devices, but the multidevice sign-in is only available for premium plans.
