And the reviewers don't need to specify which version their comments apply to.Īlso, I am more than willing to pay for software. MacUpdate allows vendors to post the price of the least expensive alternatives of their software. Of course, this isn't limited to Dashlane. And the reviews: which version, "Free," "Premium," or "Premium Plus," do the Dashlane reviews pertain to? Surely no one could give a 5-star review to a password manager that manages a max of 50 passwords. Why MacUpdate lets companies indulge in such deceitful advertising is beyond me. Keychain Access, the password storage function in your browser, or even an Excel spreadsheet should be more than sufficient.įor everyone else, the "Free" Dashlane is just a deceptive come-on, because you'll need, at minimum, the "Premium" version for which you'll pay an annual fee.Īs someone below noted, the price for the "Premium" version is pretty much in line with 1Password's.

It stores "up to 50 passwords." Dear friends, if all you have to manage is 50 passwords, a password manager is way overkill.

The crippleware (or "dumb down" if you prefer) version is "free." I don't know if this helps you, but it might be useful to go through the keyboard shortcuts to see what you find.Please. So I unchecked it and the problem has gone away. The check box assigned a keyboard shortcut of command-shift-L (which I use all the time in another application, and only when something is selected). (I assume it said "Yahoo" because that was my default search engine in Safari.) I found one called "Search with Yahoo," and it was checked. (I actually got there from the Spotlight preferences, which has a button that took me to keyboard preferences.) There's a long list of services to scroll through. I went to System Preferences : Keyboard, clicked on the Shortcuts tab, then chose "Services" on the left. And I don't have Dashline or any other Safari extensions installed. This was very annoying and surprising, because Safari is not my default browser. I will have text selected in some other application, and I will use a keyboard shortcut, and suddenly my Mac has opened Safari, gone to Yahoo, and searched for the text I had selected.
