Dashlane is a polished password manager with phishing alerts, a VPN and sharing with anyone you trust. It is also an account. Its sync guide says your data is encrypted, then "We store the data on our servers."
Off Grid AI Desktop (OGAD) Pro includes Vault. It keeps passwords, API keys, notes and files encrypted in one place. There is no account and no subscription: the vault lives on your own disk, and you pay once. It comes in the same Pro key as AI, memory and meetings.

How Vault works
- Open Vault in OGAD and set a master password.
- Save the 24-word recovery phrase somewhere safe. With the vault file and its recovery data, it lets you back in if you forget the password.
- Add logins, payment cards, API keys, secure notes and files. Everything is encrypted on your disk.
- Lock it when you finish. Only you can unlock it.
- To fill logins in Chrome, request the browser extension and pair it with the desktop app.
The extension can also fill payment card details on supported forms, for you to review. Run the Security check to find weak and reused passwords.
Your vault works with your AI agent
Off Grid Vault fills logins in your own browser, matched to the website's domain. Off Grid's Web Use runs agent tasks in that same signed-in browser. So an agent task can sign in without you pasting a password into a chat, and the password never goes to a model. Web Use and Computer Use are Pro features.
What else the same key covers
- Memory. Screens, meetings, mail and documents become one local memory you can search and ask.
- Meetings without a bot. Calls recorded, transcribed and summarised on your computer.
- Actions you approve. Replies and issues through Gmail, Linear, Jira and Notion.
- God, Reflect and Clipboard. A morning brief, time by project and person, and a searchable clipboard.
- Sync. Your phone and computer in sync, encrypted, device to device.
One key covers up to 5 devices.
When Dashlane is the better pick
For families and phone users, Dashlane is the better password manager. Friends & Family covers 10 members, each with a private account. Sharing is unlimited. It offers apps for iOS, macOS and Android, plus a browser extension. It saves and signs in with passkeys. It adds phishing alerts, dark web monitoring and a VPN. Off Grid AI Vault does not fill passwords on your phone and has no family plan.
If you share logins with family or need autofill on your phone, keep Dashlane. If you want your own secrets on your own disk, with no subscription, next to your API keys and private files, use Off Grid AI Vault.
