On the Web / Desktop

1

Navigate to the direct cancellation instructions page: Go to https://support.dashlane.com/hc/en-us/articles/202625042. This page provides a comprehensive guide from Dashlane directly.

2

Access your Dashlane account: Log in to your Dashlane account if you are not already logged in. This is typically done through the Dashlane web app or extension.

3

Locate account settings: From your Dashlane web app, click on your profile picture 👤 or initials in the top right corner. Then, select 'My account' or 'Settings' ⚙️.

4

Go to the Subscription & Billing section: Within your account settings, find and click on the 'Subscription' or 'Billing' 💳 tab.

5

Initiate cancellation: On the Subscription page, you should see an option to 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Manage your plan'. Click on this option.

6

Confirm cancellation: Dashlane may present you with options to switch plans, pause your subscription, or offer retention discounts. Ignore these offers and proceed by selecting an option like 'Continue to cancel' or 'No thanks, cancel my subscription'. You might be asked to provide a reason for cancellation. Select one or skip if possible.

7

Final confirmation: Review the final confirmation details. Ensure that the cancellation dates and terms are clear. Confirm the cancellation to finalize the process.

8

Verify cancellation: After completing the steps, you should receive a confirmation email from Dashlane. Keep this email for your records.

Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling Dashlane?

After canceling your Dashlane subscription, your premium features will remain active until the end of your current billing period. Billing will cease at the start of the next billing cycle. Your account will then automatically downgrade to a free Dashlane Free plan. With the free plan, you will still have access to your saved passwords and data, but synchronization will be limited to one device, and you might experience reduced storage for secure notes. Dashlane generally retains your data in your free account, but it's always advisable to have a local backup.

Alternative Solutions

Dashlane Alternatives Worth Considering

If you're looking for an alternative password manager, Bitwarden is a popular open-source option offering strong security and a generous free tier for personal use, including unlimited passwords and device syncing. For users seeking a more integrated suite of security features, LastPass offers various plans, including a free option with basic password management, though its premium tiers provide more extensive features like dark web monitoring. Keeper Security is another robust choice, known for its strong encryption and flexible plans, ideal for both individual and family use, though pricing may be higher than some competitors.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

  • Export your data: Before canceling, ensure all your passwords, secure notes, and other sensitive information are securely exported from Dashlane. This data will still be available in your free account, but it's good practice to have a backup. You can export data via the Dashlane desktop application through 'File' → 'Export data' → 'Dashlane Secure Archive' or 'CSV'.
  • Understand account downgrade: Your Dashlane Premium or Family plan will revert to a free account after cancellation. This means limiting your device sync to one device and reducing storage for secure notes.
  • Check active billing cycle end date: Your subscription typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. You will not receive a partial refund for the remaining time if you cancel midterm (unless local laws dictate otherwise).
  • Review family plan implications: If you are on a Family plan, canceling will affect all members. Ensure all family members have exported their data or are aware of the impending change.
