Let’s be honest — if we had a dime for every time we forgot a password, we’d probably be able to collect more money than what all of our logins are worth on the black market.
As hackers become more agile, and as online security threats grow more advanced, login information is becoming increasingly complicated. With passwords that require a capitalized letter, number, symbol and the name of your pet from middle school, it can be extremely difficult to keep track of all of your login information for every site you visit regularly.

Dashlane is a web and mobile app available in two versions. Both include alerts on security breaches, a built-in digital wallet for online purchases and automatic saves and screenshots of your purchases.

The premium version ($19.99 per year) includes additional secure cloud backup and web access to passwords. Dashlane is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
