As account security has become more important, having a good cross-platform password manager has become almost essential. Unfortunately, one of the more popular password managers, Dashlane, has had its extension removed from the Chrome Web Store due to privacy and permissions issues.

Dashlane App Not Working

• Dashlane may be installed and visible there, but disabled. If it is not there, open Dashlane and select: - Dashlane → Install Browser Extensions if you are on a Mac. the Extensions menu in the application if you use Windows. Then, choose which browser you want to install Dashlane on. Please refer to this article if you need any help.
• Is there a 64 bit version of the Dashlane desktop app? Dashlane was designed as a 32 bit application and it doesn't need more memory allocated in order to work properly. Note that it doesn't make it incompatible with 64 bit Operating Systems or 64 bit browsers. Can I prevent the Dashlane app from updating automatically?

Spotted by Techdows, one of the engineers responsible for the Dashlane password manager has publicly posted an attempt to get in contact with Google. In the post, it’s explained that, on Friday, Dashlane received a warning from the Chrome Web Store stating that the extension had a week to either cutback or explain the permissions it asks for.

Checking on the web app. On your browser, go to app.dashlane.com and log in to your account; Click on My Account in the lower left-hand corner; Select Account Summary; There you will see the email address you're currently logged in with. Dashlane is more than a password manager: It’s the fastest and easiest way to use the internet. Our browser extension integrates seamlessly into your online routines by following along with you to save and fill in your passwords and personal information as you go. I mention below some issues i had with dashlane and just yesterday they updated their system and than god i'm sure on 80% of issue are gone such as 2fa code autofill suggestion which is not working on my ios devices. So i'm changing from 1 to 5 start and i think in time i try all features and hopefully all the issues are gone.

To comply with the request, Dashlane submitted a “permission justification form,” spelling out how the extension works and why it needs so many permissions to do the job, along with a new version of Dashlane. The next day, Dashlane was removed from the Chrome Web Store altogether, with the extension’s listing currently leading to a 404 error.

Thankfully, removing Dashlane from the Chrome Web Store does not take away the still-functioning extension from anyone who has already installed it. That said, there’s no way for Dashlane to gain new customers on Chrome or for existing customers to switch to a new computer. So far, Google has not publicly responded to Dashlane, leaving the company in a state of limbo.

Dashlane App Won't Open Mac

In the meantime, while this gets hashed out, Dashlane’s web and mobile apps still work just great, as well as their extensions for other browsers like Safari, Firefox, and even one for the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge.

Update 9:25am: It now appears that Dashlane has been reinstated into the Chrome Web Store.
