Quick pick
→ Dashlane fits for almost any context where a modern, feature-complete password manager is needed — stronger architecture, broader features, better value.
→ LastPass fits only if a specific legacy enterprise SSO integration not available in Dashlane is a hard dependency.
LastPass's 2022 breach exposed encrypted vaults alongside unencrypted URL metadata. Dashlane uses Argon2id by default and encrypts all vault fields. The security score gap — Dashlane 9.0 vs LastPass 5.8 — and trust gap — transparency 7.0 vs 2.8 — are not subtle.
If you choose LastPass
What you get that Dashlane doesn't offer
A larger catalog of legacy enterprise SSO integrations built over a longer product history — particularly relevant for older enterprise environments with established LastPass configurations.
What you give up
A modern cryptographic foundation — Dashlane uses Argon2id by default; LastPass uses PBKDF2 only. URL metadata encryption — exposed in LastPass's 2022 breach. Dashlane's security (9.0), transparency (7.0), privacy (8.6), and recovery (6.6) scores all substantially exceed LastPass's 5.8, 2.8, 3.8, and 3.9.
If you choose Dashlane
What you get that LastPass doesn't offer
Argon2id KDF by default. URL metadata encryption. A bundled VPN. The broadest feature set in the category — passkey, dark web monitoring, secure sharing — without add-ons. Published audit history since 2021 (with gaps, but more than LastPass provides).
What you give up
LastPass has a wider SSO integration catalog. Dashlane's autofill has documented issues on some single-page applications. Dashlane server is closed source.
