Dashlane lets you open an account with a FIDO2-spec USB security key as your authentication.

One of the better-known password managers is now inviting people to try it without having to create yet another password. Instead, Dashlane is now inviting people to try opening a new account secured only by a USB security key compliant with the “FIDO2” authentication standard; FIDO being short for Fast Identity Online.

Emphasize “try.” The company’s support page for this “early access” program notes that it supports only Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, not Dashlane’s mobile apps. For now, it doesn’t let you create an account secured only by a passkey, the form of FIDO2 security more people use.
