In Dashlane, sharing passwords one at a time gets really tiresome really quickly, especially if you need to share a large number of passwords. 1Password also lets you store multiple one-time passwords (OTPs) if you want to do that, as well as secret keys and challenge questions, free-form text, documents, images – whatever you want. Maybe you won’t get this extreme with your password management habits, but we loved that you can store as many duplicates of items inside an object in 1Password as you want, so you can store multiple URLs to simplify the login process when the name of the site changes but still uses the same login credentials. In 1Password, each password in the database is extensible, which allows for a lot more tricks. We were shocked and amazed because we were just so darn used to fighting with Dashlane all the time about syncing. Immediately, the extension caught on that it needed to sync, and it quickly flashed the new credentials into the login box within a couple seconds without any intervention on the tester’s part. In one particularly awesome testing situation, an Interplay teammate entered a new password into his phone and then tried to log in to a website on his desktop. In our experience, sync never froze up and we never really had to wait for a password to sync across devices. We were excited to see that 1Password has a really extensible database that can store a significant amount of information that’s replicated very quickly across devices when needed. (If you’ve been using Dashlane, you know it’s pretty clunky at this.) 1Password is deep

We almost never had to open the extension or the full app to change/update/add new sets of credentials.

We’re total nerds for saying that a password management app is fun to use… but it’s true! The software is extremely responsive, allowing us to do everything we needed at the point of password insertion in 95% of cases. (Dashlane doesn’t do this.) The software is fun to use It’s easy enough to use for the average user, but it can get really sophisticated as needed, directly supporting multiple logins and vaults per user. Structurally, we think the entire system is well thought out. In our experience, 1Password never hangs (unlike Dashlane), it never does something without visual feedback, and it never generates weird errors. (In a few cases, 1Password didn’t fill in logins on a few phone apps during our testing process, but it was really minor.) They work consistently, on every device, in nearly every situation. With 1Password, the tools feel very well-coded. Our biggest issue with Dashlane was that the tools didn’t work consistently (and often didn’t work at all). Now, let’s talk details: 1Password’s tools work consistently As we researched and tried out various password management apps, we realized that 1Password was easy enough to use for the novice but sophisticated enough to bend and flex to a power user’s whim.
In general, the reason why we love 1Password is because of its ease of use and security. Now, let’s get down to the juicy stuff – here’s why we totally love 1Password. We just really like 1Password and we want to share the love. Let’s be clear: We’re not getting paid to write this, and we have no weird ulterior motives for our endorsement.
We’re pretty excited about 1Password, and we know this article might sound like some sort of paid thing. We are NOT getting paid by 1Password for our endorsement. Lately, Dashlane’s features haven’t been working well for us, so we researched our options and found something better. We still think Dashlane is a great password manager with solid security, and we love its time-saving features… but only when those features work. This article isn’t a warning or anything. However, let’s clear the air with a couple of need-to-know comments: There’s nothing wrong with Dashlane’s security. Dashlane is fine, we just think 1Password is better. We think you should switch too, and here’s why. However, we’ve been having a few troubles with Dashlane lately, so we switched to 1Password.
For years, the team at Interplay has been using and recommending Dashlane as our preferred password management app.
