Company profile
researched Aug 2026Dashlane develops password management and credential security software for both organizations and individual consumers. Its business offering is marketed under the Dashlane Omnix brand, which combines an encrypted vault for employee credentials, secure credential sharing with granular admin controls and role-based permissions, in-browser detection of weak and compromised credentials, and real-time phishing detection. The company positions Omnix as extending visibility to logins that sit outside single sign-on coverage, and it integrates with third-party tools such as Microsoft Sentinel for remediation workflows and KnowBe4 for triggering contextual security awareness training. A natural-language assistant, Omnix AI Advisor, and a Vault Enforcement capability were both listed as in beta.
On the consumer side, Dashlane sells a personal password manager available through Premium and Family plans. Features include cross-device and cross-browser vault sync, AI-powered autofill of logins, payment cards and personal identity documents, a password generator, one-time password (2FA) code generation, dark web monitoring and breach alerts, a Password Health score, Secure Notes for encrypted document storage, phishing alerts at autofill time, AI-powered Scam Protection that flags suspicious sites, and a VPN provided in partnership with Hotspot Shield. Data is encrypted on the user's device under a master password using a zero-knowledge architecture, and the company also supports passwordless accounts.
Dashlane's apps run on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android, alongside a browser extension and web app for desktop computers. As of 2019 the company described itself as serving more than 11 million people across 180 countries in 11 languages, with offices in New York City, Paris and Lisbon.
Founding story
Dashlane's founders are listed as Guillaume Maron (Co-founder & VP of Architecture), Alexis Fogel, Jean Guillou, Bernard Liautaud and Emmanuel Schalit. Liautaud, who founded the company, also serves on its board.
Business model
Dashlane sells subscription software in two segments: business plans for organizations, sold through a sales-assisted motion with demo requests and contact-sales flows, and consumer plans (Premium and Family, the latter covering 10 accounts on one subscription) sold directly online with annual billing and a free tier plus a 14-day trial. Mobile apps are distributed free with in-app purchases.
Recurring subscription fees. Consumer Premium and Family plans are priced per month billed annually, with a free download and in-app purchases on mobile; business plans are sold via direct sales.
Traction
As of the May 2019 Series D announcement, Dashlane reported more than 11 million users across 180 countries, availability in 11 languages, and offices in New York City, Paris and Lisbon.

Market position
Dashlane describes itself as a credential security provider and, at the time of its 2019 Series D, as a leading credential and digital identity management solution; its Series D lead investor characterized the credential-security category as one with the potential to eventually surpass anti-virus in size. The consumer product cites recognition from PCWorld, PC Mag, the Webby Awards, Kiplinger's, Inc.com and Techlicious.
The company frames Omnix as going beyond traditional password management by covering credential risk in domains not protected by single sign-on, detecting risk at the point of use in the browser, and catching phishing pages that email filters and endpoint tools miss. Its zero-knowledge encryption model and cross-platform vault sync are presented as core product properties.
Technology
Zero-knowledge security architecture in which user data is encrypted on-device under a master password and is not visible to Dashlane. The platform uses browser-based telemetry to detect weak, reused or compromised credentials and to identify phishing sites in real time before credentials are entered, with AI used for autofill, scam detection and the Omnix AI Advisor assistant. Additional components include a password generator, built-in OTP generation for 2FA, dark web breach scanning, passkey support, encrypted Secure Notes, and a VPN provided in partnership with Hotspot Shield. Access is via browser extension, web app, macOS app, and iOS and Android apps, with email verification and 2FA security checks at login.
Go-to-market
Business go-to-market runs through direct sales with demo requests, customer case studies and a public trust center for compliance certifications, plus ecosystem integrations with Microsoft Sentinel and KnowBe4. Consumer acquisition is self-serve via the website and the Apple App Store, supported by free trials, press reviews and industry awards.
Enterprise and mid-market IT and security teams — including identity and access management leaders, CISOs and IT specialists — as well as individual consumers and families. Cited customers span aviation (JFK International Air Terminal 4), infrastructure services (Downer Group), healthcare (Chapters Health System), higher education (Buena Vista University), technology (Thirdfort) and retail (OOLY).
Geography
Offices in New York City, Paris and Lisbon as of 2019, with products available in 11 languages and users reported across 180 countries.
