If you use a password manager like Dashlane or even another like LastPass or 1Password, chances are you’ll use a different password for almost any site or service you’ve signed up for. . First of all, this is good for you because you’re taking steps to become super secure on the web. However, there are times when you may actually want to share your password with someone without revealing all of your credentials.

Depending on how much time you spend at your computer, all of these passwords add up quickly. You can have hundreds of different passwords to store. If you’re working on a project with someone or perhaps are on vacation for a few weeks and want someone to test your services, it’s impractical to expose yourself completely.
Dashlane has built-in features to share passwords with friends and family in a super secure way and put you in complete control. You can also set up a contact for automatic access in emergency situations. Here’s how to do both.
How to share password
In the Dashlane app for Mac or PC, you’ll go to Sharing Center accessible from the left sidebar. Then, at the top, click Add new.
In the window that appears, you can manually select the passwords you want to share. Just start typing the name of the account you’re hosting in Dashlane and it will appear to choose from.
Note: If you want to share all of them, you’d better use the Emergency Contact feature
Below that, enter the email address of the person you want to have access to your password with.
Note:
The next part is very important: choose limited or full permissions. If you give that person (or people) authority over the passwords you choose, all they can really do with them is just use those passwords. If you give them full permissions, they can edit passwords in Dashlane, share them with others, give others access to passwords, and even revoke your own access. For most purposes, limited permissions are sufficient here. Only grant full authority to someone you really trust.
On the next page, you can enter your own name and a personal message, then send the email. The email will ask the user on the other end to confirm wanting access to the password, and Dashlane will launch with the credentials ready.
How to grant emergency access to passwords
This feature will allow someone after a certain period of time to automatically access your Dashlane account. If something serious happens — perhaps you’re even planning your own death and want someone to be able to access your information — Emergency is helpful.
Right below Sharing Center in Dashlane, select Urgent. Set your only emergency contact. Then, choose a time period below from 24 hours to 60 days. This means that if you do not respond to that person’s request to access your information, that person will automatically receive access after the time period you specify. You can also choose to request access to your information, he will automatically receive access after the time period you specify. You can also choose No waiting time or Request feedback from yourself.
If you click AdvancedD you can choose which passwords your emergency contacts have access to. The default settings, on the other hand, just reveal everything.
Send an email on the next page to grant emergency access. This will not give the person the password immediately, he will only be able to request them in the future in case of an emergency.
