Good to know. Dashlane only lets you export from the desktop app — not the browser extension or mobile app.

Keep the file safe

  • This file lists every saved password in the clear — treat it like cash.
  • Delete it the moment your import into Simply Once is done.
  • Never email it or upload it to cloud storage.
  • Don’t share the file with anyone.
  • Use Shift + Delete on Windows, or empty your Trash on a Mac, so it can’t be recovered.
