This token gets sent to your email, or if you've established 2FA for your Dashlane account, as a rotating token on an authenticator app.

If someone else makes an authentication attempt and at least one of the factors is missing or supplied incorrectly, your identity can't be verified.įor example, if someone obtains your Master Password and attempts to log in, an additional one-time passcode is required to be entered to verify the login attempt. If you use MFA, nefarious people online are unlikely to have access to all the factors required to prove your identity for access to your accounts. In a nutshell, MFA increases the security of your accounts.

Inherence: Something you are, such as a biometric scan of your fingerprint or facial recognition.

Possession: Something you have, such as a security token generated by an authenticator app on your device.

Knowlege: Something you know, such as the Master Password for your Dashlane account.

After you provide the factors, you're granted access to a website or app. Multifactor authentication (MFA) requires two or more factors or elements to validate a successful login.

You can increase the security of your account with 2FA tokens, along with the convenient advantages of using both Dashlane apps. The Authenticator app is the perfect addition to the Dashlane Password Manager. You can use the Dashlane Authenticator app to add an extra layer of security for all of your 2-factor authentication (2FA) compatible accounts.

Dashlane’s authenticator app, Dashlane Authenticator, provides a simple way to turn on multifactor authentication (MFA) for your accounts.
