News is starting to filter out that Dropbox is killing off their password manager at the end of October. The company has put out an FAQ on this that outlines the following dates:
- 8/28/25: Dropbox Passwords will become view-only in both the mobile app and browser extension. You’ll still be able to view your saved usernames, passwords, and payment information, but you won’t be able to add new ones. Additionally, the autofill functionality will be deactivated.
- 9/11/25: The Dropbox Passwords mobile app will stop working. However, you will still be able to access your Passwords information through the browser extension.
- 10/28/25: Dropbox Passwords will be fully discontinued. You’ll no longer be able to access or add any saved usernames, passwords, and payment information and these entries will be permanently and securely deleted from our servers. The dark web monitoring feature will be discontinued.
The company also recommends 1Password (which is a Canadian company by the way) as a replacement along with pointing users towards instructions on how to migrate to 1Password. I have to wonder how many people were using the Dropbox password manager as I was not aware that it even existed. In any case, if you do use it, you should likely take action ASAP.
