<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo evaluate Dashlane, I created a scoring rubric with six key criteria businesses consider most when shopping for a password manager. Each criterion consisted of multiple subcriteria and was weighted based on relative importance. The final 3.8 score is a culmination of my hands-on experience with the software, feedback from other Dashlane users, and Dashlane\u2019s overall value compared to its main competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evaluation Criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I assigned the most weight to core features since they\u2019re the foundation of the Dashlane and integral to its success.

Advanced features, customer support, and pricing options round out my scoring rubric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
