Security News > 2023 > February > Dashlane password manager open-sourced its Android and iOS apps
Dashlane announced it had made the source code for its Android and iOS apps available on GitHub under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license.
The popular subscription-based password manager and digital wallet have decided to release the code of its mobile apps to increase transparency in how they operate while also promoting a more collaborative and open development approach going forward.
The password manager maker says this "Opening up" will also incentivize its engineers to "Level up" the quality of the code and make it suitable for the masses to read and understand.
Dashlane plans to update these code snapshots on GitHub every three months, but it might do it more frequently if the associated processes are enhanced accordingly.
Those interested in taking a look can find the Android app code here and the iOS app code on this repository.
We should also clarify that the source code release concerns only the client apps for Android and iOS, so those of macOS and Windows remain closed-source.
