Dashlane Passkey..

[albacore]

This month's Atlantic magazine has a two-page ad from Dashlane.... talking about getting a passkey from them to get rid of the Bazillion passwords that we collect.
Anybody know anything about this? Good idea?
I'm old, goddamit, and I am tired of having to look up my passwords on my encrypted Password File every time I get the dreaded "Your login or password are incorrect" screen.
School me... please.

1. I use it and have for years

It is really good, compatible with any operating system since it runs from a browser.
You only need to remember one password, the dashlane password.

3. How is that different from having my encrypted "passwords" file on my desktop?

(labeled something else, of course)

Does Dashlane - or the others - assign a password to each of my sites that's impossible to crack?

4. It automatically fills in username password

for the websites you visit. The first time you go to a website and enter your username password it will remember it. Subsequent times, it will automatically log you in. It is synchronized via the cloud so if you have dashlane on your computer at home and also on your cellphone , it will be able to do that from either device.

It also comes with a password generator you can use when creating passwords.

2. I've used Dashlane for years. It's a great product for me.

Saves a lot of time and has multiple features.
