Users will have the option to create an account without having to set up and remember a Master Password."ĭashlane customers may create an account without a master password on mobile devices going forward, according to the announcement. Users just have to enter their PIN or use other forms of authentication, such as biometric authentication, on the device to complete the process.Ĭommon threats, such as phishing, brute forcing, or attempts to break into services to dump password information do not work anymore when passkeys are used.Īlso useful: should you use a browser's password manager or a dedicated service?Īllowing users to use a passwordless authentication system eliminates the need for users to remember a single secure password, which they use to unlock the password manager's vault.ĭashlane notes: "We are proud to announce our plan to release passwordless login for Dashlane later this year, which allows users to create new phishing-resistant, passwordless accounts that don’t suffer from the vulnerabilities of traditional passwords and multifactor authentication (MFA). The system creates keys for individual services, apps and sites on the device and uses these for authentication.
Passwordless is a relatively new trend, pushed by the FIDO Alliance and its members, which include Microsoft, Apple and Google among others. The company announced support for passkeys in its app for Android in February 2023 already, stating that Dashlane users could sign-in using passkeys and also manage passkeys of other services and sites using the password manager.
