Friend forwarded me the email:

Dashlane Free plans are being discontinued on September 16th, 2025

To further accelerate our security innovations, we're streamlining our personal plan options and discontinuing Dashlane Free. As a Free plan user, here's what you need to know.

What's next?

You've been upgraded to a free trial of Premium features
Explore Premium features, including unlimited password storage on unlimited devices, until your Free plan ends.

Choose between Premium or Friends & Family. Enjoy an exclusive discount of 50% off either plan from now until August 12th.


What happens after September 16th, 2025?
You won’t be able to edit or view your vault, but your data will remain secure and accessible. You can export your passwords for one year, until September 16th, 2026. After that date, your current account will be permanently deleted, but you can buy a new plan at any time.

What's Dashlane?

That would have been smart for me to include. Formerly Free PW Manager

Thanks. That's disappointing it's being discontinued. I guess it's just as well I didn't know what it was since it's going away. I hope everyone finds another app they like.

I thought it was some food delivery service

What concerns me most about this is which other free services will see this and pull the plug.

Man I am full of incomplete thoughts. Free services not just PW managers but other stuff where data mining isn't enough revenue anymore.

That concludes my thoughts.

I started using Dashlane in its beta days, so I have a "Free Joined before Dashlane V2.0" account. I've not received any emails. Are these old grandfathered accounts being discontinued with the free service also?
