The HN community seems to be giving a lot of praise for 1Password, Lastpass and Keepass occasionally. But rarely mention Dashlane, I'm curious as to why ?

Dashlane isn't open source, nor is it available on Linux. That is going to prevent a lot of people from even considering it.
Lastpass / 1Password are not open source either.
Great reason to not recommend them either!
The Dashlane Windows app does work under Wine.

Dashlane is the only password manager that looks normal enough to be used by the non-tech members of the company. I've found its sharing feature invaluable, I can get the whole team on it using 2FA and passwords don't get emailed around anymore!

I used to be a Dashlane user. It just got worse and worse over time, the password sharing was incredibly buggy. Their support would always give me excuses and never have fixes. It got to be a nightmare. I switched to 1Password and love it.

Honestly surprised there aren't more players in this space but it seems really hard to get into.

It's interface and usability is also ridiculous on windows, and it's the most expensive of all.
Could you elaborate ?
