Dashlane 4 unveils new user-friendly design, widens Password Changer support
Password management provider Dashlane has unveiled Dashlane 4.0 for Windows and Mac alongside Dashlane for iOS 4.0 and Dashlane for Android 4.0. The new release -- available in free and a paid-for Premium package -- shows off a brand new interface.
The new design -- which Dashlane claims has been "enhanced and optimized for convenience" shows off menu upgrades, improved search, wider support for its automatic password changer tool and support for five more languages.
The most significant changes to the user interface can be found in the upgraded menus, where Dashlane has attempted to make things more user-friendly through new list and grid views, sorting options and better labeling.
The interface has also been tweaked to provide a more consistent experience across all supported platforms, with every single screen and service redesigned. This includes the account creation process, which has been overhauled in order to simplify the startup process for new account holders.
Elsewhere, the in-app search field gains a new Quick Actions option to help users more quickly locate data. The company’s proprietary semantic analysis engine -- DashIQ -- has also been updated to add translation and localized native support for five new languages, namely Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian and Japanese.
One of Dashlane’s innovative features is its Password Changer, which makes it easy and convenient to automatically change passwords with supported services. Version 4 adds 300 new services to bring the total number supported to over 500.
Additionally, the app’s payments system now supports over 618 new international banks, credit cards and financial institutions.
User feedback has seen eight new templates added to the service’s Notes section, while users can now resize Dashlane to get a mini-version of the app that can float freely around the desktop without wasting desktop space.
Dashlane 4.0 for Windows and Mac is available as a free download, as are Dashlane for iOS 4.0 and Dashlane for Android 4.0. It’s free to use on a single device, while Dashlane Premium costs $39.99 per year for unlimited sync across any number of devices.
