Dropbox has announced it will discontinue Dropbox Passwords on October 28, ending the five-year run of its credential management service.

The shutdown is going to follow a phased approach, according to the company. The password manager will become view-only from August 28, meaning new entries and autofill features will be disabled. The mobile app will then stop working on September 11, but the browser extension is set to remain functional until the final closure.
