9/4/2023 0 Comments Dashlane desktop app![]() One of major reason to do so was its standalone desktop application. I have been using dashlane as paid user around 2012-2013 and was heavily advocating it to my friends. I also expect other password managers to phase out their desktop apps as they come to the same realization that Dashlane has. Dashlane is built for the web and I expect it will stay that way. That would be insanely costly for a use case that is non-existent for the average user. I can't imagine there would be any return on investment on attempting to do that on desktop applications that could be coded in almost any language. Coming from a development background, the ability to release features increased 5 fold if you don't need to integrate desktop apps and all the iterations, I'm excited to see what this will mean for Dashlane once they get over this hump of porting some functionality over.ĭashlane (and other password managers) have a hard enough time auto-filling websites all built on the same web languages. Also, Dashlane has built a ton of stuff right into the extension so I rarely need to even go to the desktop app or webapp anymore. I just pin to my taskbar and I barely notice a difference between doing that and having a desktop app. What are your thought on this topic? How are we going to mitigate these downsides and even better, calm our users down after they have grown close to the application. I am sure, there are small benefits when performing this move - but they do not seem to be anywhere near in balance with the disadvantages that come with it. ![]() the competition offers the option to have Desktop apps, which would be a limitation rather than an improvement for (potential) Dashlane usersĪll in all the plan to make the app standalone is stripping users and even further development of flexibility and possible usage. implementing support for Windows / macOS or application logins would become very hard and again along with complex dependencies to the web extension dependency to a browser every single time a user wants to access a password or secure note - any information within the vault - even if it is not related to any website / URL Taking into consideration, that making Dashlane a standalone extension comes with many downsides, it should rather stay optional for users to choose between standalone and hybrid usage of Dashlane. Keep the Dashlane desktop app as optional ![]()
