Con Massive memory consumption on MacOS
The MacOS client has been a huge memory hog for years. Memory consumption of multiple gigabytes is not uncommon.

Dashlane has a habit of piping up excessively and autofilling almost every form.
Con It keeps pushing to give it access to the browser and then screws up the log-in

On Windows 10.

Con Does not help with updating weak and old passwords
You will have to step through the entries yourself.
