  •     Dropbox Passwords users will no longer be able to add new passwords on August 28, 2025.
  •     The mobile app is scheduled to stop working on September 11, 2025.
  •     The password manager will be fully discontinued on October 28, 2025.

Dropbox Passwords users will soon have to find a new password manager to store their passwords, usernames, and other sensitive data. The company will be shutting down the service in the next couple of months.

Dropbox has announced that it is preparing to sunset its password manager. According to a help center document, the decision was made so that the company can “focus on enhancing other features in our core product.” The full service is scheduled to be discontinued on October 28, 2025, but the shutdown will be carried out in phases.

“Sunsetting”?  Argh!  Call it what it is “shrinkflation”.

Why they ever pursued it is beyond me.  

And, they don’t suggest BITWARDEN which is basically free.

Is OnePassword or Lastpass an affiliate link?

Argh!
