Password-security app Dashlane now has two group plans, Premium Family and Premium Family Plus plans. Each allows up to six users to share passwords and login information quickly with an approved group.

One of the great things about Dashlane Premium Family and Premium Family Plus plans is that while each family member has their own Dashlane account, all passwords and login information can be shared. This way, you don't have to chase anyone down for a Netflix password or credit card number.

For this to work, each member of your family plan will need to create an individual Dashlane account if they do not already have one.

Here's how to set up your Dashlane Premium Family plan and share passwords among users.

Apple Macbook Pro (From $1,299.00 at Apple)
