New York, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2014 -- Dashlane, the world’s leading password manager and digital wallet, announces a $22 million Series-B funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), with participation from existing investors Rho Ventures, FirstMark Capital, and Bernard Liautaud, the original founder of the company. The round brings Dashlane’s total funding to date to $30 million.

While consumers are increasingly sharing their identity and payment information online, there is growing awareness of the security issues related to personal data on the cloud. As vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed come to light, consumers are getting even more wary of their online security. In this environment, Dashlane makes identity and payments simple and secure with its fully-featured password manager and secure digital wallet app. Dashlane has helped over 2 million users manage and secure their digital identity, and has enabled over $1 billion in e-commerce transactions.

The company will use the additional capital from this round to reinforce its team, accelerate growth and further extend its lead in the identity and password management space. CEO Emmanuel Schalit stated, “Our mission has always been to build a simple, universal and secure solution for identity and payments on the web. Today, hundreds of millions of web users still manually register, login and check out on desktops and mobile devices, and leave themselves vulnerable to online security threats in the process. Dashlane elegantly solves this problem for consumers, and this new round gives us even more resources to go after this fantastic opportunity.”

BVP partner Alex Ferrara will join Dashlane’s board. Ferrara noted, “Dashlane is pioneering a new category of consumer security software; helping people take back control of identity and payments information on the web. As consumers put more of their lives and the lives of their loved ones online, they face greater risk of losing that information to hackers. Dashlane is the best way to securely store passwords, credit cards, and other sensitive information on the web.”

Schalit further stated, “BVP is the ideal partner to join Rho and FirstMark in this round. They have long term views about the strategic value of our space, a stellar track record and bring a wealth of relevant experience in the US, and also as a global firm. We are thrilled to welcome them to the team.”

Bernard Liautaud added “I founded Dashlane based on the vision that a universal consumer solution for identity and payments was a critical missing link of the Internet. I am pleased to see that Dashlane is on track to realize that vision. This new round of funding allows the company to accelerate even further towards that objective.”

Dashlane allows its users to manage passwords, credit cards, IDs, notes and other important information securely via advanced encryption and local storage all of this data. Other features include automatic password generation, a security dashboard for assessing password health, and click-only checkout on every website and every device.

Dashlane is available on PC, Mac, Android and iOS, with its iOS app being the highest rated productivity app on iTunes.
