That article supports your point
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.www.bleepingcomputer.com
The BleepingComputer report states that Dashlane open-sourced its Android and iOS applications, making the client code available for public inspection. That was a meaningful transparency improvement compared with a completely closed-source mobile application.
However, it does not automatically make the entire password-manager service open or independently verifiable. Public client code may still leave important areas outside review:
- Server-side synchronization and account infrastructure
- Web applications and browser extensions
- Build, signing, and update systems
- Third-party SDK configuration
- Telemetry and crash-reporting services
- Metadata handling and backend logging
- Internal access controls and operational procedures
I also cannot confirm from that article alone whether Dashlane has continued publishing updated source code, whether the public repositories match current store builds, or whether the open-source release was later expanded. Those points require checking Dashlane’s current official repositories and release history.
So the article confirms that Dashlane took a positive step toward transparency at that time, but it does not by itself establish that the complete service can be audited or that all privacy concerns have been resolved.
