The feature will be moving to Firefox next.
For example, you can check out our story on the one from Kensington. Thankfully, fingerprint readers are more than affordable now. Without this, you wouldn’t have access to this feature. Of course, you have to have biometric access enabled within your computer (ie, set up within Windows Hello with a supported fingerprint reader). From there, simply slide the switch to the on position for “Biometric unlock” and it will walk you through a few steps to get it locked in. Simply open the app settings within Chrome or Edge, head to “My Account” and look for “Security settings in the right menu that pops up. This is way more user-friendly and it can allow you to strengthen your master password some more since you won’t have to be manually entering it all the time. This means the Dashlane extension within Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge can use your fingerprint instead of having to enter your master password every time you want to unlock the extension. The company has enabled biometrics within Chromium-based web browsers (assuming your system supports it). Thankfully, the light is starting to shine at the end of the tunnel for Dashlane. This makes it hard for companies to jump right into complex features within browser extensions. It doesn’t help that “not all browsers are created equal” when it comes to their individual dev kits and the overall access that developers have to various options and features. Some of the more advanced options are a bit of a challenge since many browsers are still working on offering native support for them. The process requires moving all of the features from the app to the extensions, which is still a work in progress to this very day. That would save panic and frustration when you find yourself logged out of everything every time you need to walk away from your computer.Dashlanehas been making a hard push to get users away from using the company’s desktop app and into using the individual browser extensions. This adds extra security, but this setting should be part of the tutorial that takes you through the password manager setup. While I was happy to get all of my passwords saved, it was inconvenient (and somewhat disturbing) to have this app take over my computer.I quickly searched for ways to deal with this security feature and found plenty of other users who also wanted to know how to turn it off.ĭashlane defaults to the automatic logout setting, and you have to go in and manually turn it off. I had to manually log back in to every account I was using.Īs I logged in, Dashlane asked me if I wanted it to store the password. To my surprise, I was logged out of absolutely everything on my computer. When I returned to my desk, I sat down to work as usual.
In the midst of Dashlane’s setup tutorial, I had to go to a meeting.
This is a security feature that took me by surprise.
