Dashlane: when it makes sense.

Dashlane makes sense for a complete manager (passwords + VPN + dark web); for free or open source, another solution fits better.

Keep if

You want to centralise and secure your passwords.. You value a VPN included in the subscription.

Dashlane becomes worthwhile when

You use it at least once a week
The monthly cost ($4) is small next to the time it saves you

Challenge if

You want a free manager (Dashlane no longer has one).. You want self-hostable open source.

Dashlane becomes too expensive when

You use it less than once a month
A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
