DASHLANE* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Dashlane uses the truncated descriptor "DASHLANE*" on bank statements because of how their subscription billing system communicates with card networks, where the asterisk acts as a separator between the merchant name and a transaction identifier such as a plan type or renewal reference. This format is common among software-as-a-service companies like Dashlane that process recurring payments through third-party billing platforms, which automatically apply this shorthand notation to fit within the limited character space allowed on bank statement descriptors. If you see "DASHLANE*" on your statement alongside a charge of around $4.99, it almost certainly reflects your monthly Dashlane password manager subscription renewing as expected.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Dashlane. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
