Dropbox Passwords Is Shutting Down in Phases Starting Next Month

Dropbox has announced it will discontinue Dropbox Passwords on October 28, ending the five-year run of its credential management service.

General Dropbox Feature
The shutdown is going to follow a phased approach, according to the company. The password manager will become view-only from August 28, meaning new entries and autofill features will be disabled. The mobile app will then stop working on September 11, but the browser extension is set to remain functional until the final closure.

Users must export their data before October 28, which is when Dropbox says it will be permanently deleting all stored passwords, usernames, and payment information from its servers. Dropbox is recommending users transfer their credentials to another app like 1Password before the final end date, and has provided export guides on its support site.

The company claims the closure will allow it to "focus on enhancing other features in our core product." However, Dropbox Passwords has had increasingly stiff competition over the years from the likes of 1Password, LastPass, and built-in solutions from Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

Dropbox acquired password manager Valt in 2019, and then launched Dropbox Passwords in 2020 for paid subscribers before expanding to all users in 2021.

next will be 1password ?
No it won’t. Apple Passwords is till lacking major features. Plus, 1Password is dedicated to that task; not an extra popped on top of a storage service.

1Password is amazing for its Fastmail Masked Email integration, OS options, and browser plugin functionality.

*Raises hand* - between OneDrive from my work and iCloud I really am not using DB as much as I did say 10 years ago.

I watched their latest quarterly report (link ('https://investors.dropbox.com/node/12431/pdf')) and it says "Paying users decreased by 15,000 paying users quarter-over-quarter."

And it makes total sense.

* a lot of people have TB at iCloud to backup their photos
* a lot of people have TB at Google Drive to backup their photos
* a lot of people have TB at MS Onedrive from work

I dont see any space for Dropbox here.

And their SMALLEST tier is 11.99 per month when paying monthly. They dont have any smaller tier at like 0.99 per month like everyone else.

I'm not surprised that their stock (NASDAQ: DBX) is totally flat since their debut in 2018

I haven't used it in years. I had no idea they had a password manager.
