Dashlane goes zero password without passkey.
“The only reason we didn’t do passkey for this is it just wasn’t quite ready,” explains Dashlane CPO Donald Hasson in an interview withpasskeys via its browser extension, but in practice, passkeys generally end up being usable only within the ecosystem it was initially stored in — for instance, Apple’s iCloud Keychain.
In the same interview, Dashlane CEO John Bennett said the company wants to avoid getting trapped inside a walled garden with passkey. “It works great if I’m only in operating system A, but if I’m in operating system B it becomes a problem,” Bennett explains. In the future, Dashlane may add a passkey unlock option for users’ vaults, a feature competitor 1Password.
Dashlane’s Passwordless Login works using the company’s app on mobile devices. It uses a PIN and can use the device’s biometrics like Face ID or fingerprint readers to authenticate and open up users’ vaults. You can also use it to log in to Dashlane on your other devices by scanning a QR code.If a Dashlane user loses one of their devices, like their smartphone, they can recover their account from another device they’ve authenticated.
Dashlane’s Passwordless Login will be available to new Dashlane users in the “coming months,” according to the press release. And for existing customers, Dashlane will be rolling out the feature “later this year.”
