1Password is a better solution than LastPass and Dashlane. The Watchtower feature monitors your accounts for possible breaches, leaks, and weak passwords. 1Password is more affordable, has a great set of tools, and works seamlessly to help teams manage credentials. Unlinke LastP…
Chose 1Password
A chief marketplace competitor to 1Password is LastPass. While it is highly regarded and includes some features that 1Password currently doesn't (such as secure sharing), it fell victim to a substantial security breach in 2015, which has made me loathe to reconsider it.

Chose 1Password
1Password had a stronger roster of companies that trusted them and a history of no security breaches. Additionally, we trust their security culture the most.

Chose Dashlane Password Manager
1Password had a breach, not acceptable. If Dashlane Password Manager has a breach like that we will also drop them like a sack of potatoes.
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
I think the browser plugin for 1Pass is stronger in many UI/UX ways.

I will say provisioning a new piece of hardware with the platform like 1Password is painful. That can be a benefit from a security perspective, but when you're trying to onboard a new user on the platform on a …
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
We were told by regulator IT experts that Dashlane Password Manager was more secure than 1Password. I also find it easier to set up and easier to use across laptops and mobile devices. It's been a few years since we made the switch, so it's hard to remember specifics.
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
This was about 3 or 4 years ago, so I can't recall the exact details, but I remember that using 1Password was clunky and iffy. Sometimes it would work great, other times not so much. Password sharing and managing your team wasn't as simple. Dashlane seems to be built for …

It has been quite some time since we selected Dashlane, but it was a combination of features and price - it offered the greatest value with user sharing and cross-platform capabilities.

Our IT person said it was the best for our size of business and security needs.

Dashlane was the most complete product. We have moved to Keeper, though, for client management; we wish Dashlane had similar functionality.

1Password is a great tool when it comes to data security and managing your passwords. It is perfect for daily work that requires accessing a lot of different login credentials to different softwares, servers etc., so it is a great tool for all web developers and programmers, but also to project managers and other employees that have to login to multiple different services regularly.

Dashlane
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.

Pros
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.
  • Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.
  • It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.
  • Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.
  • A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

Dashlane
  • Reliable autofill on most websites
  • Robust features in both the Admin and personal user sense
  • Multiple convenient options for unlocking that don't require retyping the master pass on a regularly used and trusted device
  • Extensive customization options in both the Admin panel and user settings

Cons
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
  • On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

Dashlane
  • Search is lacking. The desktop app had better features
  • I can no longer find needed features. Such as the option to only use a password on a specific subdomain. this is important because I have hundreds of subdomains for testing client software builds before releasing to their domain.
  • The Mobile app and Browser Extension are not synced. I have several Secure Notes and Passwords that I cannot find anywhere in my mobile app, but can find without issues in the extension.

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

Usability
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

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.

1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
I have never had any issues with 1Password and they have always been able to answer my questions adequately resolve my issues. Furthermore, they have a robust peer forum that can be accessed. They have helpful "Get to know Apps", videos and many articles to assist in the process of using the product.

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
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
1Password and LastPass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to LastPass from 1Password. LastPass simply offered better pricing for their business tier k(cheaper by $1/user/month.)

Dashlane’s customer support is often rated higher, providing more responsive and helpful assistance. LastPass has a slightly steeper learning curve than Dashlane, but it offers more flexibility with user permissions, which can benefit teams. Dashlane includes unlimited passkey support and a clean breach history, while LastPass is more accommodating for smaller teams.
