Dropbox Passwords Gets the Axe: Users Scramble to Save Data Before October Deadline
Dropbox Passwords is going bye-bye! By October 28, all your carefully stored usernames and passwords will vanish into the digital ether. Before that, brace yourself for a series of shutdown phases starting August 28. Fear not, Dropbox suggests 1Password as a replacement, because who doesn’t love paying for something that occasionally glitches?
Hot Take:
Hold onto your hats, folks! Dropbox is pulling the ol’ Houdini with its Password Manager, and not even a magic wand can save your passwords after October. It’s the disappearing act nobody asked for, but alas, here we are, scrambling to save passwords like squirrels hoarding nuts before winter!
Key Points:
- Dropbox Password Manager is going on a permanent vacation by the end of October.
- Access goes view-only on August 28, and mobile apps cease on September 11.
- Full service shutdown on October 28, with data permanently deleted.
- Dropbox recommends switching to 1Password, but prepare for a subscription fee.
- Company cites a focus on enhancing core products as the reason for discontinuation.
