Dashlane, the password manager, raised 100M$ Series D

Password managers have become all the rage in recent years following a spate of credential stuffing attacks, where hackers take breached usernames and passwords from sites and reuse them on other site accounts. By storing passwords in a single place protected by a master password or a biometric — such as a fingerprint — users can take their strong and uniquely generated passwords with them wherever they go. Dashlane has raised more than $185 million to date.

🎤 Guillaume Maron & Alexis Fogel, both co-founders at Dahslane are speakers at B2B Rocks Paris.
