About this app

Tired of waiting for one-time password codes in your texts and email and copying and pasting them to sign in to a new account? Dashlane Authenticator makes it easy to protect your accounts with an extra layer of security beyond just a username and password.

You can use Dashlane Authenticator for any website, account, or service that offers 2-factor authentication (2FA) or 2-step verification (2SV) with a QR code or manual key entry.

Never lose access to your 2FA tokens

No phone? No problem. Dashlane Authenticator helps you seamlessly back up your tokens (one-time password codes) to your Dashlane Password Manager account—so you won’t get locked out of your accounts if you misplace your phone.

Use both Dashlane apps together

Some things—like sunshine and the beach—are just better together. So are Dashlane Authenticator and Dashlane Password Manager. Installing both apps on your device makes logging in even easier, so you can:
-Secure your Dashlane account with 2FA on Dashlane Authenticator
-Get 2FA tokens in both apps for convenience
-Use Dashlane Password Manager’s Autofill feature to avoid typing in six-digit tokens manually
-Get push notifications to verify your identity when logging in to Dashlane Password Manager on a new device—instead of waiting for and retyping a six-digit token

Ratings and reviews

Updated 9-13-23 : trying to move to a new phone and there is no way to even export your 2FA's so your only choice it to setup new. If you have to go through this pain don't bother with this app. Not getting any love from the developers...if you have many 2FAs it's difficult to find your desired code generator as there is no search feature and no grouping allowed in the app. Furthermore the edit function outright doesn't work so you can't rename your 2FAs afte they have been scanned.

It's pretty good, I like it, very straightforward. Recovery of details onto a new phone with same number was also good.

Well done on integrating OTP with password manager. However, authenticator loses points for lacking interface features such as: 1. Cannot rename or relabel any of the entries. 2. The list entries take up far too much screen. It's nice to see prominent entries in the list, but a compact view should be an option. Why are the above important? If you have many OTPs (I have around 40), it's difficult to locate the one you need.
