Short on time? Here’s how to cancel your Dashlane subscription and get a refund in 2024:
- 1. Export your passwords. Export your passwords as a CSV file so you can import them into your next password manager.
- 2. Cancel your Dashlane subscription. Cancel auto-renewal for Dashlane and get a refund (if eligible).
- 3. Uninstall Dashlane. Navigate into your computer’s settings and remove the Dashlane application.
- 3. Try an alternative password manager. Download and install a top password manager, like 1Password, to keep your passwords organized and protected in 2024.
Canceling your Dashlane subscription and getting a refund is a simple process. If you’ve been using Dashlane for 30 days or less, you’re eligible for a full refund. There are different steps to get a refund depending on whether you purchased Dashlane through the website, the Google Play Store, or the App Store.
Requesting a refund immediately terminates your Dashlane plan. Normally, when you unsubscribe from Dashlane, you’ll be able to use your plan until the end of the billing period. However, if you get a refund, you won’t be able to continue using it at all.
Once you’ve canceled your plan and gotten a refund, you should install an alternative password manager. 1Password is my top choice because it’s 100% secure, comes with a wide range of features that make password management easy, and provides intuitive apps for all major platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I unsubscribe from Dashlane?
Unsubscribing from Dashlane should be a simple process. Whether you’re on a Mac, a PC, or mobile, you can follow my steps above to quickly unsubscribe.
Before switching to a different password manager, export your passwords into a CSV file so you can import them easily. After exporting your passwords and cancelling your subscription, check if you can get a refund. Dashlane offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you recently subscribed to their plan, you might be able to get your money back.
I highly recommend you install an alternative password manager to keep all of your information secure (1Password is my favorite).
Does Dashlane have a free trial?
Dashlane provides a 30-day free trial, but it doesn’t include the unlimited-data VPN. Combined with its 30-day refund policy, you can test Dashlane for roughly two months.
And not only does Dashlane have a free trial — it’s also got a good free plan, which ranks as one of our top free password managers. The free plan covers 1 device and has a lot of the features of the premium version, like auto-fill and auto-save and secure password sharing, but it limits you to 25 passwords.
If you’re looking for a free trial of an alternative password manager, I’d recommend trying 1Password, which is my personal favorite. It comes with a risk-free 14-day free trial period that you can cancel at any time.
Why can’t I get a refund for Dashlane?
If you are past the 30-day money-back guarantee period, unfortunately, you can’t get a refund for Dashlane. But if it’s less than 30 days since you purchased your Dashlane subscription, you can follow the steps here to get your refund.
You’ll have to request a refund from the Dashlane website, so make sure that you have all the correct information. You’ll need your username and password, and if you purchased your subscription through the Google Play Store, you’ll need your transaction ID as well. Refunds through the iOS App Store are done by contacting Apple directly.
