Switch from Dashlane to Lockbox

This takes about 30 seconds. Your passwords are encrypted from the moment they enter Lockbox.

If you are still on Dashlane’s old free plan

Dashlane ended its free plan on 16 September 2025 and gave existing free accounts one year to move. That year ends 16 September 2026. Export your passwords before then or you lose access to them. The export file is the part that matters, so do that first even if you have not decided where you are going.

Part 1: Export from Dashlane

1

Open Dashlane on your computer

Use the Dashlane web app at app.dashlane.com.

2

Go to File > Export

Log in to app.dashlane.com. Go to My Account > Settings > Export data.

My Account > Settings > Export data
3

Choose CSV format

Select "CSV" as the export format. Enter your Dashlane master password to confirm.

4

Save the file

Save it somewhere you can find it. Desktop is fine. You'll delete this file after import.

Important: The exported CSV contains your passwords in plain text. Import it into Lockbox immediately and delete the file afterwards.

Part 2: Import into Lockbox

5

Open Lockbox

If you don't have it yet, download Lockbox for iOS, Android, or Chrome.

6

Go to Settings > Import

Tap the Settings tab, then tap "Import passwords (CSV)" and choose the file you just exported. Lockbox detects which app it came from automatically.

Settings > Import passwords (CSV)
7

Pick your CSV file

Select the CSV you exported from Dashlane. Lockbox automatically detects the format and maps the columns.

8

Import and check the result

Lockbox imports the file and then tells you how many passwords were added and how many duplicates it skipped. If anything could not be imported it says so, and how many.

Verification

After import, Lockbox tells you what it did: "12 passwords imported." It only mentions duplicates when it actually skipped some, so a clean import says nothing about them. If any were left out because your free vault is full, it says that too, and tells you to keep your file.

Open your vault and scroll through. Verify your important accounts are there: email, bank, social media.

If everything looks right, delete the CSV file from your computer.

Part 3: Cancel Dashlane (optional)

Only do this after you have verified all your passwords are in Lockbox.

1.Go to my.dashlane.com
2.Go to My Account > Subscription
3.Click "Cancel subscription"
4.Your account stays active until the end of the current billing period

Keep Dashlane installed for a week after switching, just in case. Once you are confident everything is in Lockbox, uninstall Dashlane.
