Dashlane streamlines password management for BYOD

Weak passwords can put business data at risk, but if employees are using their own devices, poor security practices from their home life can spill over into the workplace.

Password manager app Dashlane has a solution to this issue in the form of a new Spaces feature for its Business version, which allows employees to manage both their business and personal passwords on mobile devices.

Users can toggle between dedicated work and personal Spaces so making employees more secure and empowering businesses to improve password security and access management.

"Password management blurs the line between home and work. If an employee practices safe password habits at home, that same mindset will carry over into his or her workplace," says Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane. "The majority of notable breaches stem from password hacks, so it’s critical that companies educate their employees on how to manage their passwords and provide them with tools such as Dashlane that make secure password management simple and effective".

Spaces for mobile supports Android and iOS devices, features include the ability to move items from one space to another, or easily identify work versus personal items based on the Space badge shown on every credential. A Recent Items view provides personalization and helps users find their most important passwords on arrival in the app.

There's an onboarding guide to help users to learn more about the benefits of Spaces. In addition enterprise control features let employers quickly offboard employees, which means they can immediately restrict access to work accounts without the employee losing the credentials saved in their Personal Space.

You can find out more and sign up for a 30-day trial for up to 30 users on the Dashlane website.
