password management

It’s well-known for its password management service, but today, Dashlane has introduced a new service that could make it even more popular with the masses.

The new feature gives users the ability to change all their passwords with a single click, including accounts with two-factor authentication enabled. The feature will work with 50 US Sites for now, including Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, PayPal, Pinterest, & Twitter.

Dashlane said on its official blog that it simultaneously was also announcing the acquisition of PassOmatic, the New York, USA-based startup that had created this automatic password change technology. With the beta release of Dashlane integrating this automatic password change technology, Dashlane now claims to have become the world’s “only automated password changing software.”

Users select the passwords they want to change, & Dashlane automatically changes them in a click. What’s more, the strong & unique Dashlane-generated password is automatically & securely synced across all their devices, in minutes.

“Password Changer is the antidote for future Heartbleeds,” said Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane. “The ability to automatically change passwords is revolutionary. It provides users a highly effective way to stay safe from increasingly common security breaches on the scale of Heartbleed. Password Changer introduces a new paradigm of convenience and security for the consumer. ”

The acquisition of PassOmatic marks Dashlane’s first strategic move following its US$22 million Series B fund raise in May 2014, bringing it closer to its “ultimate goal of providing a simple identity solution for consumers.”
