Leading password management services Dashlane and 1Password have introduced new features allowing users to create accounts without a master password, aiming to simplify onboarding while maintaining robust security. After testing, both platforms have streamlined the registration process, offering a passwordless account setup option, a departure from traditional password management.
While providing a seamless user experience and robust security, the downside is that without a master password, access to associated passwords relies on proving identity through a trusted device. If none are accessible, the user may be permanently locked out. Both providers offer recovery keys as an alternative means of unlocking accounts, raising questions about the security of this new approach. Time will determine its effectiveness.
