Dropbox Passwords Shutdown: Transfer Your Passwords Now

Dropbox has announced the shutdown of its password manager, Dropbox Passwords, with a three-stage process set to conclude in October. The service will become view-only in August, the mobile app will stop working in September, and access will be impossible in October. Users are encouraged to transfer their passwords to another manager like 1Password or Apple's Passwords app.

Dropbox has announced the impending shutdown of its password manager, Dropbox Passwords, effective October 28, 2025. The service, which helps users create and store unique passwords, will undergo a three-stage process that will progressively limit functionality and eventually lead to the permanent deletion of all stored data. Users are advised to transfer their passwords to alternative password managers to avoid any data loss.

The shutdown will begin on August 28, 2025, when Dropbox Passwords will transition to a view-only mode. Users will still be able to view their saved usernames, passwords, and payment information, but they will no longer be able to add new entries or use autofill functionality. The mobile app will cease operations on September 11, 2025, although users can continue accessing their password data through the browser extension. Finally, on October 28, 2025, all password data will be permanently and securely deleted from Dropbox servers, and dark web monitoring features will be discontinued [1].

Dropbox has recommended transferring passwords to other password managers, such as 1Password, Apple's Passwords app, or Bitwarden. The company has provided export functionality through both browser extensions and mobile applications, allowing users to generate CSV files containing account logins and payment card information. Users are encouraged to act quickly to transfer their passwords before the October deadline, as data recovery will be impossible after the final shutdown [2].

The discontinuation of Dropbox Passwords represents a significant shift in the company's service offerings, requiring swift action from millions of users who rely on the password management feature for digital security. Dropbox has emphasized maintaining high encryption and security standards throughout the transition period and has recommended 1Password as the preferred alternative due to its trusted reputation and security features [3].
