The gap is widest on Gemini, where Bitwarden is clearly favoured: Bitwarden is recommended 80% of the time and Dashlane 20%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.

Dashlane is largely invisible in AI answers for password manager — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
