Dropbox is shutting down its password manager. Export your data ASAP

Earlier this week, Dropbox announced that it would close its password management application, Dropbox Wordsws, only five years after its launch. The service stopped will occur in several phases.

Departure August 28Dropbox passwords will become read alone in the mobile application and browser extension, and automatic filling features will be interrupted. In other words, you will always be able to display your passwords and your stored details, but you will no longer be able to add new entries and you will no longer be able to fill automatically.

Departure September 11The DROPBOX Mobile Application Passwords will stop working completely. You will not even be able to launch the application or display your details stored via the application, although you can always display all your details stored via the browser extension.

Departure October 28Dropbox passwords will be completely abandoned. The browser extension will no longer work and you will no longer be able to access your contact details. Your recorded data will be permanently deleted from Dropbox servers.

If you always use Dropbox passwords, we recommend exporting your data and migration to another password management solution as soon as possible. The announcement message contains instructions on how to export data from your Dropbox passwords.
