Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

Dashlane Password Manager works really well for situations where we need to share access to client portals or government filing sites, since multiple people can log in without ever seeing the actual password and we can cut off access right away when it’s no longer needed. It is also great for onboarding and offboarding since new hires or interns can get the logins they need quickly and we don’t have to pass around spreadsheets. Another strong use case is meeting compliance expectations because it shows clients we are serious about security and password hygiene. Where it’s less useful is in environments that already use single sign-on since that already centralizes access and makes Dashlane Password Manager feel redundant. It can also be a little frustrating if you rely heavily on mobile since the autofill doesn’t always work smoothly across different apps.

  • Initial setup was a little difficult.
  • User SSO invite and sign on would not work at first but this seems to have been improved/fixed.
  • The extension on websites doesn't work sometimes and will need to be refreshed if you open a new tab but have already logged in before.

It has served us very well until now and at the pricepoint it doesn't make us second guess our current relationship.

Usability
Bitwarden is easy to use and has a very straightforward simple interface. Having coverage across multiple platforms is the key to its value to me. Additionally, Bitwarden is consistently rated by third party (PC Magazine, Wired, Tom's Guide, etc.) as one of the best password managers available.

Dashlane Password Manager is great for the price. Some feature sets of competitors are lacking, but I'm happy with what we get for the spend. We are a small enough company that I can walk people through the steps, and it isn't something that comes up enough to complain about. Password generation, storage and use are all great.

We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.

Alternatives Considered
Bitwarden hasn't been hacked and is easy to implement. None of the others can say the same in both aspects.

I use Proton Pass in my personal life as part of the Proton suite of products, and it's a fantastic, lightweight, and robust service. I personally prefer supporting a solid, privacy, freedom focused company with my personal money, but as far as comparing goes, I'd say Dashlane wins the intuitive interface battle with ProtonPass (not that it's terrible), but ProtonPass wins for listening to customers and developing a dedicated desktop application. As for the comparison with LastPass, I think LastPass might nudge out Dashlane for the intuitive score, but they are practically both at the same level in every way. I'd be happy to use either one

Return on Investment
  • Saves me time by storing all of my login information. I'm no longer digging through my notes app or having to reset passwords that I've forgotten.
  • Stores vendor names, addresses, and W-9's. I don't have to text or email vendor's asking for this info every time I work with them.
  • Protects my data by identifying weak or unused passwords. Bitwarden helped me identify multiple weak and reused passwords and I quickly updated them using their built-in password generator.

It also integrates with email alias services for additional security. Using the strong generator tool keeps personal info like anniversaries and pet names out of your passwords, out of the dark web, and out of hackers’ hands.Screenshot of Bitwarden Send, a feature that lets users quickly share encrypted files and text with another individual via a private link. It can also be used to automatically share vault items using collections in a Bitwarden organization.Screenshot of Bitwarden's sync feature, that syncs passwords and other sensitive data (like identities, addresses, and credit cards) across devices, including mobile devices.Screenshot of where Bitwarden can auto-fill login information into websites.
