If you’re surprised to find out that popular cloud storage service Dropbox even had a password manager, then this probably doesn’t concern you. But if you do make use of the feature, you have until 28 October 2025, or roughly three months (89 days if you want to be specific), until they are permanently and irreversibly deleted.
If it’s any consolation, the axing won’t happen all at once. In a recent blog post, the company laid out its phased approach for the discontinuation.
Your Dropbox passwords need a new home
Starting on 28 August, any saved login credentials and autofill info (usernames, passwords, and payment info) will become view-only in the mobile app and the browser extension. Users will lose the ability to save new entries, and autofill functionality will be deactivated.
The mobile app will cease functioning on 11 September, making the browser extension the only way to continue to access your soon-to-be deleted info.
Then, on 28 October, everything will disappear. Users won’t be able to access anything and every access detail you once trusted Dropbox to protect will be Thanos-snapped out of existence. The dark web monitoring feature that used to tell you if your login details were compromised will also be discontinued.
That leaves Dropbox Passwords users with only one option — export your info while you still can (here’s how to do that) and move it to another password manager. Dropbox suggests trying 1Password, and Stuff can vouch for Bitwarden. Both offer free and paid-for plans, and both should be able to import your saved info from Dropbox Passwords without much hassle.
