Import the DASH file to your new Dashlane account If you don't need to change your login email but want to change where you receive communications from Dashlane, you can choose a new contact email address. Open the Dashlane extension or mobile app and select Create an account. That would save panic and frustration when you find yourself logged out of everything every time you need to walk away from your computer. Create a new Dashlane account with the login email you want. This adds extra security, but this setting should be part of the tutorial that takes you through the password manager setup. While I was happy to get all of my passwords saved, it was inconvenient (and somewhat disturbing) to have this app take over my computer.I quickly searched for ways to deal with this security feature and found plenty of other users who also wanted to know how to turn it off.ĭashlane defaults to the automatic logout setting, and you have to go in and manually turn it off. I had to manually log back in to every account I was using.Īs I logged in, Dashlane asked me if I wanted it to store the password. To my surprise, I was logged out of absolutely everything on my computer. When I returned to my desk, I sat down to work as usual.

In the midst of Dashlane’s setup tutorial, I had to go to a meeting.

This is a security feature that took me by surprise.
