Invalid Master Password
If you're unable to log in to Dashlane due to an invalid master password, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue. First, ensure that you're entering the correct password, including any uppercase letters, numbers, or special characters. If you've forgotten your master password, you can reset it using the password recovery option provided by Dashlane. Remember to use a strong passphrase that you can easily remember.
Touch ID/Face ID Not Working
If Touch ID or Face ID is not working with Dashlane, ensure that you have enabled these features in your iOS device's settings. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode for devices without Face ID) and make sure Dashlane is enabled. Additionally, check if Dashlane has permission to use biometric authentication by going to Settings > Dashlane > Face ID (or Touch ID) and toggling on the necessary option.
Two-Factor Authentication Problems
If you're facing issues with Dashlane's two-factor authentication (2FA), first make sure that you have correctly set up 2FA for your Dashlane account. Check the settings in Dashlane to ensure that the correct authentication method (SMS/Email/Authenticator App) is selected, and verify that you have a stable internet connection. If the problem persists, try disabling and re-enabling 2FA in the Dashlane settings, or reach out to Dashlane support for further assistance.
Network Connection Issues
In case Dashlane fails to authenticate due to network connection issues, make sure that your iOS device is connected to a stable internet connection. Check if other apps requiring an internet connection are working properly. Restart your device and router to refresh the network connection. If the issue persists, try using a different network or contacting your internet service provider for assistance.
Unable to Sync Dashlane Account
If your Dashlane account is not syncing across your iOS devices, ensure that you're using the same Dashlane account on all devices. Check if your devices are connected to the internet and have the latest version of Dashlane installed. Open Dashlane on each device and manually sync your account by tapping on the sync button. If the problem continues, try logging out and back into your Dashlane account on all devices to re-establish the sync.
