Now that I think about it, I don't believe any online program is safe because everything seems to get hacked sooner or later.
My PayPal account got hacked, and I thought that was secure.
Even if I uninstall Dashlane, won't it have passwords it grabbed out of my computer when I installed it?
I do understand that I'm the only one that has the "master password".
But if someone did manage to hack into Dashlane, won't my personal info be floating around somewhere in cyber space?

I agree that nothing is apparently completely safe, but if someone hacks your actual computer, your passwords are safely encrypted and hidden from that attack.
I think the primary benefit here is that you can choose different and more complex passwords than you normally would because Dashlane does the remembering.
How did your Paypal account get hacked? I know that back in 2012 there was an unsubstantiated claim by "Anonymous" that they had stolen 28,000 passwords, etc., but Paypal said at the time that they had been unable to verify any thefts. I have had both debit and credit cards cloned a half a dozen times, but the Paypal account is my lone surviving refuge.
My wife checks our online accounts every morning and I scan through the Paypal every couple of days. Nothing sneaks through. This also gives my wife an excuse to monitor my purchases!
