![]() For anyone still considering Dashlane, I’ve added the notes I took when checking out the record types and ease of data entry: This is a major requirement of mine, and the lack of this functionality eliminates Dashlane from contention. I could see no options to create new types or subtypes, new categories (for those where categories was an option), or to add new fields to an existing record. Record types: As for most password managers, Dashlane has several broad types of records you can create, some with subtypes.NONE of the CSV files contained any of the notes I’d added. I chose CSV export, and a ZIP file was created that contained about 5 or so CSV files, one for each type of record. There are two export options-one to a DASH file for reimport into Dashlane, and one for CSV. As part of my testing, I exported the few records I added for testing purposes.There didn’t seem to be any paths for importing data from other password managers, but I only investigated these two. All records would have to be entered manually, not a task I relish. It also wouldn’t import the converted 1Password 1PIF file I had successfully imported into LastPass but couldn’t import into 1Password. I tried to import my exported Password plus (PP) CSV file that contains ~500 records, but wouldn’t import as it said it was incompatible and ‘contained formatting errors’.The browser app (I use Chrome) was easy to use and navigate. As for LastPass, this might be a showstopper* for me. Here are the results of my testing (no particular priority order): ![]() My first tests were to see how easy the interface was to use (very), whether I could import my Passwords Plus (PP) data (no), what sort of template/categories it used (limited and not customisable), whether I could customise fields/field labels to suit my data (not at all) etc. As for the others, I didn’t download the Android app for it (I’m only doing initial testing so far), but I did install the browser extension as it was required. My next test was Dashlane (limit of 50 passwords for the free version). In Part 2 I tested LastPass, and despite it being web-based only, I haven’t ruled it out entirely yet either as it has some compelling customisation features. I haven’t ruled out 1Password yet as it does have a Windows app, and that’s what I’m used to. In Part 1 of this series of posts, I told you what I was looking for in a password manager, and documented some of the failings of the first one I tested-1Password. ![]()
