Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Dashlane.
- Highest pricing among major password managers at $60/year with no monthly subscription option
- Restricted free tier with only 25 passwords on single device compared to Bitwarden's unlimited free tier
- No traditional desktop application, users must rely on browser extension or mobile apps
- Closed-source code prevents independent security verification unlike open-source competitors
- Limited 2FA options supporting only authenticator apps, not biometric or SMS authentication
