Step 1: Get the extension for your favorite browserThe Dashlane web app is officially available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, but you can also use Dashlane in Chromium-based browsers, such as Opera and Brave.
To download the extension on a Linux or Chromebook machine, visit our download page. You're taken through our web onboarding, during which Dashlane is installed on your browser. The Dashlane extension for Linux and Chromebook is currently compatible with only Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Watch our short video about how to install the Dashlane extension on any browser except Safari. Visit the Safari section in this article to learn how to install the Dashlane app for Safari.
Select Add to Chrome. Confirm that you want to add the extension to Chrome.
Select Add extension.
With Chrome 83 and later, you manage extensions through the Extensions icon—shown as a puzzle piece in the Chrome toolbar. You can still pin extensions to the Chrome toolbar, but all newly installed extensions first appear in the Extensions section.
Use these steps to pin Dashlane to your Chrome toolbar after you've installed the extension:
Select the Extensions icon in your toolbar.
Select the Pin icon next to the Dashlane extension. When you pin the extension, the Pin icon turns from no color to blue, and the extension's icon shows up in the row next to the search bar.
The Dashlane icon remains in your Chrome toolbar for quick access.
Select Get. Confirm that you want to add the extension to your browser.
Select Add extension.
Because Microsoft Edge is a Chromium browser, Edge is also compatible with the Dashlane extension available in the chrome web store. However, you need to allow extensions from other stores in the browser first.
After you've successfully installed the Dashlane extension in your browser, you can log in to your existing Dashlane account or create a new Dashlane account.
If you need to create a Dashlane account, select Get Started on the introductory screen.
Enter the email address you want to use for your account. You use this address to log in to your Dashlane account on all your devices.This email address is also where you receive our verification emails, but you can always set a different contact address later.
Create your Master Password, which is the password you use to log in to your Dashlane account.Your Master Password is the key you use to encrypt and unlock the data you save in Dashlane. Remember, to keep security as strong as possible, only you know your Master Password. Dashlane doesn't know your Master Password and can't send your password to you if you forget it.
If you don't like the password you created, you can always change it later.
If you followed the steps in the previous section, you're already logged in to your Dashlane account with the Dashlane extension installed in your browser. The Dashlane icon in your browser toolbar is green.
Use these steps to access the Dashlane web app:
