Dashlane, the application that acts as a global password manager on our devices has just undergone a fairly obvious redesign to provide the interface of greater consistency across platforms, being available for both Mac and Windows and mobile devices with iOS and Android.
According to the announcement of the developer, Dashlane already has more than four million users worldwide and with this latest version, which adds five new languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian and Japanese, they intend to increase this figure . Also now through its technology called DashIQ that optimizes all the options of the location-based payment applications.

Las opciones de pago se han ampliado y ahora tiene compatibilidad con más de 250 tipos de banco internacionales, instituciones y tarjetas distintas.
On the other hand, there is also a very interesting function that we could call a password changer, which automates the process of periodic password change for a certain number of websites. This function already existed in the previous version but now it has also expanded its capacity, going from the 75 websites of the previous version up to more than 500 today.
Today password managers They are a popular way to manage passwords across multiple online accounts and often promise a more secure solution than remembering your passwords and thus limiting the use of the same or similar passwords across multiple websites.
In any case, they are not perfect systems, since for example Google recently discovered different vulnerabilities in the password manager from Trend Micro company, an extra feature as part of your antivirus software, where attackers could steal passwords. Last year a tool called KeeFarce was developed, a piece of software used to crack password databases based on KeePass management software.
For this reason Emmanuel Shalit, CEO of Dashlane, stated the following
It is important to remember that when all computer devices are connected to a network, it is not absolutely safe unless it is completely disconnected again […] However, if you have the possibility of connecting to the network, it is a security issue Relative, that is, if a password manager such as Dashlane is used, security architectures are used that ensure that the encryption keys are not stored. Using a password manager to protect your digital identity is safer in the same way that putting money in a bank is safer than putting it under your mattress.
The price of the application is free but if we want all the options to be available and to be able to store passwords and synchronize them on devices in an unlimited way, we will have to register one subscription at a rate of 39,99 Euros per year. You can download it by clicking on this link.
