Dropbox announced it will pull the plug on Dropbox Passwords on October 28, 2025, discontinuing its password manager after just five years. If you rely on it to store logins, payment cards, or autofill your credentials, now is the time to move your logins before you lose access.
This decision comes amid a broader wave of changes at Dropbox over the past couple of years. The company laid off(новое окно) 16% of its workforce in April 2023, followed by another 20% in late 2024. Several products have also been phased out, including Dropbox Vault(новое окно) and Dropbox Capture(новое окно) in March 2025, with Dropbox Forms(новое окно) scheduled to be discontinued in September.
What’s Dropbox Passwords and what’s happening to it?
Dropbox Passwords is a password manager available as a browser extension and mobile app for Android and iOS. It saves login credentials and payment card details, suggests strong passwords, and autosaves and autofills login information. It can also monitor for breaches.
Dropbox announced(новое окно) it will phase out its password manager in three stages:
- On August 28, 2025, any data you have stored in the Dropbox Passwords will become view-only, and autofill will stop working.
- On September 11, the mobile app will no longer function, meaning you’ll only be able to access your data using the browser extension.
- On October 28, Dropbox Passwords will be fully discontinued, and Dropbox will permanently delete all saved credentials and payment data from its servers.
If you use Dropbox Passwords, you have less than three months to move your data before it’s gone for good.
