Dashlane is transforming how organizations secure employee access and credentials with a new, industry-first approach
Here’s a snapshot of what business security is like right now: Security teams lack enterprise-wide visibility into credential risks because employees and departments are using unmanaged apps—leaving corporate data unprotected. Proactively building cyber defenses is a challenge. Human error or negligence, often in the form of weak or reused passwords, still causes 68% of business data breaches, which can cost organizations millions, damage their reputation, and even put them out of business. On top of that, attackers are constantly using new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), making it difficult for organizations to adapt and stay one step ahead.
Clearly, business as usual isn’t working. Credential security needs to head in a new direction toward active protection rather than passive defense, and Dashlane is leading the way.
Introducing proactive credential security, a first-of-its-kind approach that:
- Improves an organization’s security posture, reducing the chances of a breach
- Provides unprecedented visibility into credential risks while also maintaining privacy, minimizing key blind spots
- Encourages employees to maximize their Password Health scores, strengthening an organization’s first line of defense without time or effort from IT
- Makes it easier for security leaders to track and secure every credential, safeguarding their entire organization
- Detects and logs threats in the moment for immediate action, mitigating the harm caused by breaches
We’re going beyond traditional password management to provide credential security for every employee in context and in real time. By integrating detection, intelligence, and response capabilities, Dashlane establishes a feedback loop that continuously improves security. This is great news for organizations (and less great news for threat actors).
A new approach to credential security
Security teams have told us that they sometimes provide a password manager to select employees or teams, but not everyone. Moreover, employees often don’t store every password in their password manager, preventing security teams from understanding all the credential-related risks their organizations face. Employees regularly use and share at-risk credentials—meaning weak or compromised—and getting them to understand and change these credentials is difficult. In addition, security teams don’t always have the time, budget, and tools needed to immediately detect and respond to all security risks.
We picture a better future, one where security teams get maximum visibility into credential risks—even when employees aren’t using a password manager. Employees would know right away when they have at-risk credentials that they need to change, without any effort from IT. Security teams would have confidence knowing app login methods are continuously scanned to ensure no credential-based threat goes undetected. And security teams would get real-time threat alerts, so they’re always in the know and can act quickly. In short, we see a future where business credential security and privacy are transformed.
Dashlane is making this better future possible with our proactive credential security approach and suite of features that keep organizations ahead of growing threats. With it, security teams get an integrated solution that combines real-time detection, intelligence, and response support.

This new direction comes with two industry-first innovations.
1. Providing greater visibility into credential risk
Employees are still saving passwords used to access corporate data in their browsers or on sticky notes instead of in their password manager, and this includes weak or compromised passwords. There, they sit unprotected, easy to steal, and unknown to security teams.
Credential Risk Detection, now generally available, eliminates this blind spot while maintaining privacy. This solution uses our secure web extension to continuously monitor company-wide credential data and detect at-risk credentials, even when they’re not stored in Dashlane—an industry first. Admins get actionable data and intelligence they didn’t have before about the number of employees with at-risk credentials who aren’t actively using Dashlane, allowing them to get insights into security risks, better prevent breaches, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Armed with more and better credential risk intelligence, security teams can holistically protect their organizations.
2. Nudging employees in the right direction
Security teams spend tremendous amounts of time on credential risk response: Manually checking for at-risk credentials, reaching out to employees about updating those credentials, checking if they have, and sending reminders if they haven’t.
Now, security teams can automate credential risk response with Dashlane Nudges. This solution identifies weak, reused, or compromised credentials and sends personalized, automated messages to alert and remind employees to update their credentials. These alerts are delivered through familiar communication tools, such as Slack, for a frictionless user experience.
Nudges save IT admins substantial time and effort and help employees increase their Password Health scores, protecting their organization from the leading cause of business data breaches.
A proactive credential security solution
Credential Risk Detection and Dashlane Nudges enable security teams to maximize visibility and employees to exercise good habits as part of their day-to-day work—all adding up to proactive protection. Through a powerful combination of real-time threat detection, in-context alerts, and automated response, organizations can prevent data breaches rather than react to them.
These first-of-their-kind capabilities are just one part of Dashlane’s new approach that goes beyond password management. They join the long list of Dashlane innovations that work together to help IT admins proactively protect their organizations’ data, such as phishing alerts, which warn employees before they can enter their credentials on a suspicious website. Other innovations include passkeys and passwordless authentication, which eliminate the need for passwords, the weakest link in security. In addition, Dashlane uses confidential computing, treating all information with complete confidentiality in an isolated environment, so attackers can’t steal Slack access tokens or send unauthorized messages using Nudges, for example—and neither can Dashlane. And everything is secure by design with Dashlane’s zero-knowledge architecture.
Organizations need more than password management. With Dashlane’s new solution, we’re transforming credential security by innovating, integrating, and automating security capabilities, all while maintaining privacy. The future of credential security is proactive. And we’re just getting started.
