Overview

• Dropbox will disable password entry and autofill on August 28, shut the mobile app on September 11, and fully decommission Dropbox Passwords on October 28 when all stored credentials and dark web monitoring data will be permanently deleted.
• Users are urged to export their usernames, passwords and payment details before October 28 or face irretrievable data loss.
• The Dropbox support site now provides detailed export instructions and recommends migrating credentials to third-party managers like 1Password.
• Launched in 2020 after acquiring Valt in 2019 and opened to all users in 2021, Dropbox Passwords struggled against dedicated competitors and built-in platform tools.
• The discontinuation reflects Dropbox’s strategy to reallocate resources toward enhancing its primary cloud storage offerings.
