Dashlane has managed to do something that a lot of companies have failed at, including close competitors in their own field. 

I tried and stopped using most of the well known password manager tools… Stopped because all of them at some point got in the way, instead of making things faster and easier. 

It was actually through this mailing list, that in 2011 (I think), I first got to know about Dashlane’s public beta. I signed up… and have been hooked since. 

The user experience is very well thought out, and small details make the experience really nice. 

Well deserved funding round, and for sure a bright future awaits the whole team! 

Bravo!

Dashlane has potential. And while it would involve quite a few additional agreements for the needed feature I envision (which would almost certainly be resisted)... it could form the root for a monied "like" button.

And ensure deep market penetration for the provider... (with some qualifications)

That's because I believe that such a capability has elements of a natural monopoly...and there's a broad public interest in its development and ownership. And I'll do what little I can to ensure that public participation.... while respecting the legitimate need for return on investment by the VC community.

The inevitability of the one-click micropayment (outside of a closed ecosystem like x-box) has been obvious for quite a while. But very little attention has been given to its implications. They are huge. And as far as the speech-related micropayment especially goes... I'm going to put in my 2 cents come hell or high water.

It's a VRM play.
