Considered Both Products
1Password
Chose 1Password
1Password has more intuitive UX design when it comes to both online and desktop version of the application. All of these tools are similar when it comes to their core but for us 1Password has a slight user experience advantage (even though it can be a subjective feeling and …
Chose 1Password
I do have LastPass set up for our front office workers since their free version does fine for managing the few passwords they have. Since that computer is in an area accessed by most of the staff and visible to the public, I didn't want sticky notes with sensitive passwords …
Chose 1Password
1password has more advanced web browser integrations, better corporate web interface, and better user experince.
Chose 1Password
1Password was ultimately selected due to the multiple security issues we have seen effect LastPass. We ended up not even evaluating LastPass due to the perception of them not being as secure as the alternatives.
Chose 1Password
[1Password] surpassed lastpass everywhere we tested. The autofilling of MFA codes was a big upside to our decision. We have a long track record with [1Password] and trust them for our password needs. We are trying to avoid Logmein products for a few reasons I will not share in …
Chose 1Password
I used Lastpass many years ago, and not as an individual, and I found it a bit cumbersome and not intuitive (I was also on a PC with Windows at the time). 1Password feels like a professional program with small businesses in mind. I've also used Chrome and Safari's password …
Chose 1Password
Prior to signing on to 1Password, I had only use Google Password Manager for SOME of my passwords. But it never provided an all-encompassing solution. I compared 1Password to LastPass when doing my initial research. I found the platforms to be comparable. LastPass, at least on …
Chose 1Password
1Password, like LastPass, is a closed-source password manager that works with a subscription model. 1Password stands out against the others for its Watchtower feature that will automatically warn you if a password you're using has been leaked somewhere, if you're re-using a …
Chose 1Password
Before using 1Password, the typical method in our organization for recording and saving passwords for multiple websites included the ever present office sticky note, an Excel spreadsheet, OneNote notebook, and many other highly insecure methods of writing down and storing …
Chose 1Password
Last Pass, Apple Keychain. Both are a far cry from the ease of use and functionality of 1Password.
Chose 1Password
I have been using 1Password for nearly 10 years now, so my experience with the competition is somewhat limited. However, I do use KeePass for a couple of clients who prefer not to pay for a password management solutions. KeePass has one major benefit over 1Password, in that it …
Chose 1Password
Initially, we did use LastPass. It is a good solution if the organization has solely Google based applications. 1Password integrates with multiple platforms, because of which it has a high level advantage over LastPass. Also, the encryption provided by 1Password is far better …
Chose 1Password
We tried LastPass and Keypass. The thing is though, 1Password has a nice UI/UX and is very polished. Further, it has a nice mobile app which makes it very consistent for users to use. Keypass and LastPass are great solutions too, but they just didn't fit us as well as …
Chose 1Password
I've never used another product like 1Password. I used to just keep a notebook with passwords on it, so this is a massive step up. I recommend it to anyone looking for a secure place to store private info.
Chose 1Password
1Password is a far more mature and polished product than either of the main competitors. I tested both for ease of integration, features and usability and 1Password is the winner hands down. The ability to store family social security numbers and shared passwords has come in …
Chose 1Password
I have tried a few different password managers over the years.

Google Password Manager: This a good solution if your organization is all using Google products. I feel it is not as secure as 1Password as the passwords are open while using the browser, meaning if you step away, …
Chose 1Password
I've never used another password management system.
Chose 1Password
We haven't used anything before 1Password, that was the solution that we liked from previous jobs, and we wanted to make sure we had a secure solution when we started using data and software that we wanted to make sure to keep private.
Chose 1Password
1Password's interface and ease of use and, although more expensive than free open sources, it's multi vault approach is helpful. In the Admin console, different users can have different access to different very specific passwords and other users can have full access. The …
Chose 1Password
1Password and Lastpass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to Lastpass from 1Password. Lastpass simply offered better …
Chose 1Password
The only other password manager that I have actually tried myself if LastPass, and it was quite a while ago. At the time, I was very unimpressed with the design of the app and the website. 1Password has always impressed me with their design. Also, LastPass only offered one way …

LastPass is more secure, easier to use with colleagues, and provides better functionality for saving and sharing payment methods.

Chose Dashlane Password Manager
Had PC app and better pricing. Did not get to extensively test wince we decided to renew Dashlane Password Manager.
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
Google and apple password manager was replaced and was not an option to select. I selected Dashlane because it seemed like a more professional paid option that had a wide range of features that fit the needs of my business and personal life.
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
Dashlane Password Manager was the best value for money and had all the features we needed
Chose Dashlane Password Manager
We selected Dashlane Password Manager over the competition based on a personal recommendation from one of our employees

Dashlane Password Manager is easier to onboard and use than both of the above.

While LastPass and Bitwarden both work, Dashlane Password Manager has been superior for our needs. Lastpass stagnated when Acquired by LogMeIn. While it was spun out into its own in 2024. Time will tell what happens. Bitwarden is open source and has the option for …

I have no POC on other password managers. Dashlane seems to be one of the best available, and I am not seeking to look at alternatives.

1password is the best solution for storing your passwords and other sensitive data as well as sharing it with employees of your company easily and efficiently. It has a web interface for managing your passwords and users as well as user groups. 1password can be installed on almost any OS and integrated with all popular web browsers

Dashlane Password Manager works really well for situations where we need to share access to client portals or government filing sites, since multiple people can log in without ever seeing the actual password and we can cut off access right away when it’s no longer needed. It is also great for onboarding and offboarding since new hires or interns can get the logins they need quickly and we don’t have to pass around spreadsheets. Another strong use case is meeting compliance expectations because it shows clients we are serious about security and password hygiene. Where it’s less useful is in environments that already use single sign-on since that already centralizes access and makes Dashlane Password Manager feel redundant. It can also be a little frustrating if you rely heavily on mobile since the autofill doesn’t always work smoothly across different apps.

Pros
  • 1Password's Watchtower service is a real value add - 1Password monitors the security news for evidence of security breaches containing your credentials and alerts you if you have been impacted. That is a huge value as it enables you to get out in front of a security breach and be proactive in protecting yourself.
  • 1Password's core strength is that it makes it easy to practice good security hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for each site you interact with. This is something that all password managers do now, but offering an easy experience is key.
  • 1Password's password sharing features makes it easy to share team credentials with other team members, and to decide who amongst the team gets access to the designated credentials.
Read full review
  • Ensuring secure & unique passwords created for each account.
  • Allowing the company to see a "security score" of how secure the team's password management is.
  • Sharing passwords securely between employees.
  • A "vault" for storing other secure information (notes, credit cards, etc.)
  • Free Hotspot Shield VPN included in our tier of accounts.

Cons
  • 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
  • On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.
Read full review
  • Initial setup was a little difficult.
  • User SSO invite and sign on would not work at first but this seems to have been improved/fixed.
  • The extension on websites doesn't work sometimes and will need to be refreshed if you open a new tab but have already logged in before.

1Password is a great password manager and it helps us a lot in our every day duties at the company. Since implementing this solution we also feel way more secure when it comes to our own data or the data of our Clients.

It has served us very well until now and at the pricepoint it doesn't make us second guess our current relationship.

Usability
The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

Dashlane Password Manager is great for the price. Some feature sets of competitors are lacking, but I'm happy with what we get for the spend. We are a small enough company that I can walk people through the steps, and it isn't something that comes up enough to complain about. Password generation, storage and use are all great.

Support Rating
I haven't had to use the support team since using the product, so that's saying something. But I did reference the FAQs and information materials to help with the initial setup. All in all, I found all of the information and clarity I needed to get set up and begin fully using the platform.

We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.

Alternatives Considered
I do have LastPass set up for our front office workers since their free version does fine for managing the few passwords they have. Since that computer is in an area accessed by most of the staff and visible to the public, I didn't want sticky notes with sensitive passwords laying around. The main advantage of that usage is that it does offer a free version, and with so little to manage, the paid 1Password would not be a good value for us there. But it does, of course, have its limitations. The interface is a bit clunky, and we don't have any desktop or mobile versions set up to try to sync with, just the one web browser based version, so I can't speak to the accessibility, but it does not "feel" as robust and easy to use as 1Password.

I use Proton Pass in my personal life as part of the Proton suite of products, and it's a fantastic, lightweight, and robust service. I personally prefer supporting a solid, privacy, freedom focused company with my personal money, but as far as comparing goes, I'd say Dashlane wins the intuitive interface battle with ProtonPass (not that it's terrible), but ProtonPass wins for listening to customers and developing a dedicated desktop application. As for the comparison with LastPass, I think LastPass might nudge out Dashlane for the intuitive score, but they are practically both at the same level in every way. I'd be happy to use either one

Return on Investment
  • Our business has over 500 different passwords that are required to log into other websites for billing. Allowing easy login to the different entities saves time and money.
  • 1Password encrypts all the passwords, protects them, preventing hackers from obtaining all of the information and causing disruption to the business.
  • Having multi-users save time and money because everyone will have access to all passwords at the tip of the finger without having to ask request passwords from other employees. Furthermore, employees who require the passwords on the field will also have access to the password. Furthermore, our IT department requires access to passwords to employee's computers in order to assist with troubleshooting. This allows the IT department to access computers remotely without asking for passwords receiving passwords over the internet.
