How to use Dashlane

Note: Diocesan accounts are Dashlane Business plans. You do not have a master password, instead you sign in with your diocesan Microsoft 365 credentials.


Import your passwords

Tips: If you're importing using the CSV method, use the following 2 import templates:

dashlane-import_template-credentials.csv >

dashlane-import_template-securenotes.csv >

  • LastPass Shared Folders are called Collections in Dashlane; in the CSV template, Collections is the Category column.
  • An item can have multiple collections; in the CSV template, separate each collection with a comma and no spaces, eg. shopping,stationery
  • Compare the number of items importing (on Dashlane's import preview) with the number you are expecting to import. If some are missing you can add manually later.

Warning: Usernames that are blank or are numbers will not be imported into Dashlane. A workaround is to insert dummy data into the username field first before importing. You can always remove the dummy data once it's in Dashlane.


Sharing passwords with your colleagues and team

Note: You can either share individual credentials or secure notes directly with another person or your team (shown as groups).

Collections are folders that each member of your team or the teams specified can access. Saving a password or secure note in a collection will automatically share it with other members of that collection.

If you wish to setup more sharing groups or collections please raise a support ticket.
