How to Access the Dashlane Password Manager
Video Demonstration
Digital Vault
The Password Manager is used to store all your passwords in a digital vault to protect your information from theft.
The password manager you will be using is called Dashlane. It's like a notebook for your usernames and passwords but more secure and available to you wherever you login!
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-Factor Authentication is another part of password management. This is where you will use two ways to login.
The first factor is your username and password which is stored in your Password Manager.
The second factor could be your yubikey, or a code sent to your phone or email. This adds another layer of security to our information.
Accessing your Password Manager
- Open Google Chrome on your computer.
- There will be a little icon in the top right bar of your Google Chrome. The icon will have a 'D' for Dashlane, with stripes going through it.
- If you are logged in to Dashlane, the icon will be blue. If you are not yet logged in, the icon will be orange.
Single Sign-On
When you sign in to Google Workspace, and after you have set up Dashlane for the first time, you can access Dashlane without needing another password.
This is the same as all Your Apps in your Dashboard.
Auto-Generated Password
Dashlane will now give you access to your password vault.
Your passwords for applications and websites can be saved in Dashlane. Dashlane can then help you to login automatically to these applications and websites.
Access Your Applications
- To login to an application using Dashlane, click on the Dashlane icon in the top right. Then open a new tab and click on the Dashlane icon in the top right corner.
- In the Password Manager search bar, search the name of the application you need to login to and click on the correct application.
- This will open up a new view with more details about the application you want to access.
- To open the application, open the URL to the page you need to login to. This will direct you to a login page.
- To login, click in the username bar. The Password Manager icon will appear in the right of both the username and password bar, click on the icon.
- Your username and password will then automatically prefill while using the password manager and log you into the application.
