If the issue continues
Try to determine whether extension grayed out affects only one browser, device, website, or user. If possible, test with a different trusted network or supported browser without deleting your vault or changing security policies. Keep a record of the app version, operating-system version, error text, and time of failure. This information helps support staff identify the relevant cause.
Frequently asked questions
Can an update cause this problem?
Sometimes. Updates may change browser permissions, app behavior, or compatibility requirements. Check the current version and recent changes before reinstalling.
Should I uninstall Dashlane to fix it?
Not as a first step. Verify that your account and recovery methods work and that important vault data is accessible before reinstalling or clearing storage.
Is it safe to give support my login code or master password?
No. Never share your master password, recovery key, verification code, or exported password file. Legitimate troubleshooting should not require revealing these secrets.
What information should I prepare before requesting help?
Provide the issue title, affected device or browser, software versions, approximate time, and a sanitized screenshot of the error. Remove personal and financial information first.
