On Apple’s New Password Manager

|Jon Cho

The credential security challenge only continues to increase as more people are logging in from more apps on more types of devices. That’s why we at Dashlane believe the more options people have to manage their passwords (all 227 of them), the better. 

Apple is about to release iOS 18, and with this update comes Apple Passwords, which provides iOS users with another password management resource. Ultimately, the release of Apple Passwords brings even more attention to the credential crisis.

Secure your digital life everywhere

To address the credential crisis, we need to ensure people are secure across all of the different devices they’re logging in from—not just within a single ecosystem. Let’s face it: Digital lives are complex and individuals expect seamless and secure access no matter what. From checking your work email on an Android, to catching up on the latest movie on an iPad and paying bills through the Google Chrome extension, logging in should be both easy and secure.

We consistently hear from our customers about how critical it is that Dashlane seamlessly works across any platform, on any device, and at any time to secure all of their credentials. In fact, the vast majority of our millions of customers have Dashlane on multiple platforms. This enables simple and secure access from anywhere. 

Secure passwords, passkeys, and more

When we look at a person’s digital journey, not only are they storing passwords—  but they’re also storing passkeys, codes, and biometric data for passwordless authentication. Our platform-agnostic approach is especially important with emerging technology such as passkeys, which we support across all major mobile and desktop platforms. With Dashlane, consumers can choose whether they create a password or a passkey when signing into a website, providing even more options to make logging in easy.

In fact, Dashlane was the first credential manager to eliminate the Master Password requirement to deliver a passwordless experience where users can create and access their Dashlane account without ever needing to create a Master Password. Without the Master Password across any platform, there’s no need to create or remember any passwords.

People are not only storing credentials, but need a secure way to share those credentials with friends and family. Dashlane facilitates secure sharing, so that everyone can share access without the risk.

Reduce the risk of phishing attempts

Cybercriminals are attempting to compromise credentials more than ever. One of the most common attack types is phishing, in which adversaries try to trick users into providing their credentials on a fraudulent site. Attackers send an email with a link directing to a website that may look similar to one a person trusts. In reality, the site is built to collect credentials so that the attacker can gain access to a person’s account or sell those credentials across the dark web.

Dashlane helps protect people from phishing. When someone attempts to autofill their credentials on a website they don’t have saved in their Dashlane account, Dashlane will send a phishing alert to verify if the website is trusted. This provides people with the opportunity to confirm whether the site is actually the one they’re intending to log into.  In fact, we send thousands of phishing alerts per day due to the skyrocketing volume of attacks. Plus, Dashlane continuously scans the dark web and alerts users if any of their personal information was found on the dark web, ensuring they’re in control of their digital life.

Secure access, at both work and home

Secure access isn’t only about protecting personal credentials, but also those credentials used at work. Dashlane delivers protection for the entire enterprise ranging from administrative controls, to visibility into the credential security posture of employees, and flexible integrations with existing technology. 

Every employee has a vault to securely store all of their work credentials, reducing the risk of weak and compromised credentials across the business. IT gains proactive protection that keeps them ahead of threats, all with minimal effort. Dashlane goes where you are to secure all aspects of your digital life, both at work and at home. 

Address the credential crisis

Apple Passwords provides another resource for password management that’s accessible on Apple devices. But securing people online is complex, and Dashlane works everywhere they’re logging in from—every credential, every app, every device at work and at home—from the Apple ecosystem and beyond. Welcome to the party, Apple!
