Dropbox Passwords is going to go through a phased close down, and it’ll be deleting all of your logins by the end of October.
After five years in the password manager space, Dropbox is planning to close its security application designed to host all of your credentials. Dropbox Passwords debuted in 2020, and it soon became part of its family plan subscription.
Dropbox says it took the decision to shut down its tool to “focus on enhancing other features in our core product.” That suggests it may not have proven as popular as Dropbox had hoped. Dropbox Passwords was competing with many great password managers with a similar feature set like 1Password, NordPass, Proton Pass, and other top choices.
The shutdown process begins on August 28 when the mobile app and browser extension will both move to view-only functionality. That means you won’t be able to add new passwords into the tool on that date, and you won’t be able to edit existing credentials.
