Reading Time: 6 minutes

Dashlane is a renowned password manager that stores your passwords and login information automatically while you navigate the web. It has a tool that automatically fills up your blanks in internet forms. You will need to delete Dashlane account, though, if you decide to switch to another password manager or app. Here’s how to do it in no time but first let’s find out how to back up your data so that you don’t lose it in the process.

What does it take to delete Dashlane account?

When you deactivate/ delete Dashlane account, all of your account data, including your login details and other personal information that may be associated with your account, is also deleted. It also deletes any financial records and data that are linked with the account, which means that Dashlane will not be able to process refunds, search up transactions, or give any other assistance that is relevant to the deleted account. This action cannot be undone; there is no way to do so. You will not be able to log in to your account or access the data associated with it. So, it is important to back up your data before you delete your Dashlane account. You only need to follow the guidelines that are listed below:

How to Export your data from your Dashlane account?

It is highly recommended that you export all of your data before canceling your account, as this will ensure that none of your information is lost in the process.

The manner in which you export all of your passwords and other information from Dashlane is determined by the goals that you are attempting to accomplish. You have two options available to you when it comes to exporting passwords and other information from your Dashlane account:

• You’ll need to export your data as a CSV file before you can switch to a new password manager.
• Or you can export your data from Dashlane into an encrypted Dashlane safe archive file, which is known as a DASH file. This will allow you to store all of your Dashlane data so that you can import it back into Dashlane either immediately or at a later time.

Export to a file formatted in CSV:

When you export your data from Dashlane to CSV, it contains the specifics of your logins and passwords, as well as your IDs, payment information, personal information, and Secure Notes. Each kind of data is exported to its own unique CSV file, and Dashlane then builds a ZIP file that can be downloaded.

(Note: Only the web app gives you the option to export CSV files. Also, the passwords that have been shared with restricted access are not exported to CSV files.)

Important information for users who subscribe to the Dashlane Team or Business plans: If the plan admin enabled Smart Space Management, your export will only include the information that pertains to you personally and will not include anything from your Business Space. Please relocate any personal materials stored in your Business area to your Personal space before exporting them, or get in touch with an administrator for assistance.

Important! CSV files are not encrypted, therefore anybody with access to the file can see the contents of it. When you are through with the CSV file, it is strongly suggested that you remove it from your device as soon as possible.

Using the web app:

• From the menu titled “My Account,” pick “Settings,” and after that, “Export Data.”
• Input your Master Password, then click the Unlock button.
• Make sure that you export the file using the CSV format.
• If the administrator of your Team or Business plan has enabled Smart Area Management, a notice will display on your screen to remind you to transfer any personal things from your Business space to your Personal space.
• When you are ready, choose the Continue option.
• Dashlane will save the ZIP file that contains the CSV files to the “Downloads” folder on your computer or to the place that you have set as the default for downloads.

Export to a file using the DASH format:

The DASH file format is exclusive to Dashlane and cannot be utilized in any other application. All of the information, including logins, passwords, and Secure Notes, that you have saved in Dashlane may be exported to a secure encrypted DASH file and then imported back into a Dashlane account if necessary.

The following are examples of what you can do with a DASH file:

• Retrieve a lost or forgotten Dashlane account.
• Transfer information to another Dashlane account.
• Changing the email associated with your Dashlane account
• In the event of an emergency, you can safely share your Dashlane data with a close friend or family member.

(Note: Both the web interface and the Android app allow you to export DASH files to your device. You are unable to export data using the Safari web browser or the iOS (Apple) applications at this time. Note that DASH exports do not contain passwords that have been shared with restricted permissions or files that have been attached to secure notes. Before you export your data, be sure that you have downloaded any files that are associated with Secure Notes.)

Important information for members of the Dashlane Team or Business plans: If a plan administrator activated Smart Space Management, the only information that will be exported from your account is the personal data you entered, and nothing from your Business Space. Please relocate any personal materials stored in your Business area to your Personal space before exporting them, or get in touch with an administrator for assistance.

Export to a DASH exclusive file:

• From the menu titled “My Account,” pick “Settings,” and after that, “Export Data.”
• Input your Master Password, then click the Unlock button.
• Pick the Export to DASH option.
• If the administrator of your Team or Business plan has enabled Smart Area Management, a notice will display on your screen to remind you to transfer any personal things from your Business space to your Personal space.
• When you are ready, choose the Continue option.
• Create a password that will only be used for the export of your DASH file.
• Make sure you can remember your password at all times. You’ll need to remember this password so that you may access the DASH file export in the future.
• Select Export data.
• The DASH file will be downloaded to the “Downloads” folder on your computer or to the place that you have set as the default for downloads.
