Just click in the password field of the registration form, and then on the generate strong password button that appears right beneath it to create a strong password.ĭashlane furthermore can do all the form filling for you, if identity related information have been saved into the program's database previously. You can configure the program to generate strong passwords for you whenever you register new accounts. It is furthermore possible to click into a login form directly to select one of the available accounts for the site. It can fill out login information automatically for you if you have configured it that way, and will automatically ask you if you want to send new logins to the password manager for safe keeping. The browser extension basically acts as a link between the desktop app and the web browser.
The program ships with a desktop program that you can use for all management purposes, and a browser extension that handles input and detection in the web browser. It felt kinda weird though that you had to close all browsers, even if you unselected the extension from being installed in them. Installation gives users choice to connect to one, multiple or all of the supported browsers, which is better than Norton's all or nothing approach. Once you have have entered your email address you are redirected to a page where you can download the Windows or Mac client to your local system.ĭashlane currently connects with the Chrome and Firefox web browser only, with an Internet Explorer version in the making. Watch to see if the problem returns, and if it does, contact Dashlane support with the version numbers of the software you are running.Dashlane is currently in private beta, which means that you need an invite to start using it (thanks to The Next Web).Reinstall Dashlane using the installer on their website.Also delete files from ~/Library/Applicaiton Support/Dashlane
To answer your first question, I would say that this is unintentional behavior on the part of Dashlane.Īnd to answer your second question, I am not experiencing this issue so some other people do not experience it.Ĭheck out this great post on leaking Mach ports in Chrome for more geeky information: Given that the port count is so high, increases to as high at 90K or more, and that nothing else on the system is using anything close to that number of ports, I think it is safe to say that Dashlane is leaking Mach ports. There is a fixed number of Mach ports that your system can have open, so to answer your third question yes, this could cause problems for you as you approach that limit. For those who are unaware, these "ports" in question are not network ports, they are Mach kernel ports and are used by the kernel for interprocess communication.
