Dashlane vs 1Password Comparison

Remembering many credentials is quite a challenge, which is why having a password manager can be such a blessing. The only problem is that there are so many solutions that picking the right one seems downright impossible. Should it be equipped with extras that make password management more convenient or is a more conservative and streamlined app that simply does its job enough? This is one question that most users ask before opting for a password manager. And thankfully there are two solutions that correspond to these expectations: Dashlane, the epitome of innovation and 1Password, the ideal choice for individuals and families.

Dashlane is also boosts its convenience thanks mostly to its browser extensions that seamlessly imports passwords and other kinds of credentials into the secured vault and automatically logs you into accounts.

Although Dashlane offers a free account, opting for Dashlane Premium for $3.33 per month is very worthwhile since doing so will unlock every possible feature and remove the 50-credential limit of the free version. This premium package can be trialed via a 30-day money-back guarantee, too.

The software is also full of clever surprises, such as how the built-in password generator has many settings ensuring that any generated password are as strong as possible. Additionally, there is Travel Mode, which temporarily removes the 1Password vault from the selected device for the duration of a journey to keep credentials out of wrongdoers’ sight. But more than anything, 1Password is ridiculously secure thanks to features like one-time passwords for certain accounts, how authentication is required on new devices or the way that each password has its strength analyzed.

Unfortunately, 1Password doesn’t have a free version, but both paid versions are very costly friendly with 1Password Personal costing just $2.99 per month and the five-license Families package available for $4.99 a month. Both of these can be tested for free for the first 30 days.

Conclusion

The good news is that no matter which password management solution you decide to side with, it’ll certainly be a handy companion in performing the most important task of storing credentials and keeping them safe. However, there are still some differences that could make the decision a bit easier.

Dashlane is without doubt the more innovative password manager due to features like the automated replacement of weak passwords or the in-built VPN that make password management both more convenient and safer, which is definitely fair compensation for the higher price of the software.

And while 1Password is cheaper than its competitor, it’s undoubtedly more conservative with its features, too. However, it’s still capable of pulling out surprises such as the clever Travel Mode and it’s definitely a worthy choice for families that want to keep their most precious data separate from one another but still equally protected.
