Don’t get locked out of Dashlane! Here’s how to set up recovery methods

The article discusses the importance of setting up recovery methods for your Dashlane account to avoid being locked out. It outlines three key steps: 1. Add biometric recovery to the mobile app: This saves an encrypted version of your password on your device, which can be accessed using biometric authentication (e.g., face or fingerprint). 2. Create a recovery key: This is a 28-character string of random letters and characters that can be used to regain access to your account across all platforms. It's recommended to store this key securely, either physically or in an encrypted digital file. 3. Download your 2FA backup codes: When setting up two-factor authentication (2FA), Dashlane generates 10 backup codes that can be used to bypass 2FA if you lose access to your normal 2FA method. These codes should be stored safely as well. The article emphasizes the importance of these recovery methods to avoid being locked out of your Dashlane account, and provides step-by-step instructions on how to set them up.
