Dropbox has announced that it will discontinue its password management service, Dropbox Passwords, later this year. The tool, launched in 2020, functioned much like other password managers such as 1Password or LastPass, storing and autofilling login credentials across devices. It was also included in Dropbox’s $19.99/month family plan.
The phase-out will take place in stages. On August 28, the mobile app and browser extension will switch to read-only mode, allowing users to view stored credentials but preventing them from adding new ones or using autofill. On September 11, the mobile app will stop functioning entirely. By October 28, the service — along with its dark web monitoring feature — will be fully retired, and all stored data will be deleted from Dropbox’s servers.
Dropbox is recommending that users migrate their stored credentials to 1Password, providing step-by-step guidance on how to export and transfer data securely. The company states that encryption and security measures will remain in place during the migration process. Users who prefer to switch to a different provider will need to follow that service’s import process independently.
For business accounts, Dropbox advises IT administrators to check the admin console to identify team members using Dropbox Passwords so they can be informed directly. Notifications will also appear within the app and browser extension. Each user will be responsible for migrating their own credentials, as there is no bulk migration tool for organizations.
While removing this feature, Dropbox has confirmed there will be no price adjustments to its subscription plans, citing the continued inclusion of other security tools. No official reason has been given for ending the service, though market saturation and a lack of distinctive features may have contributed to its decline. Users are advised to complete migrations before October 28, 2025 to avoid losing access to their saved passwords.
