Dropbox Passwords is available for customers on Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise. If you’re on a team with a negotiated agreement or a HIPAA BAA, you may need to sign an addendum to use Dropbox Passwords.

Important note: On October 28, 2025, Dropbox Passwords will go away. Be sure to export your passwords before this date or you’ll lose access to your Dropbox Passwords data. Learn more here—including how to switch to another password manager like 1Password.



You can view and access data about your accounts in the Dropbox Passwords security dashboard, which shows if any of your accounts have been breached or have weak or reused passwords. 

Viewing the security dashboard

The security dashboard can only be accessed from the Dropbox Passwords browser extension. To open it:

  1. Open the Dropbox Passwords browser extension.
  2. Click your profile initials in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Security dashboard
     

From the dashboard, you can view the following tabs:

  • Breaches: See if an account linked to an email address you’ve stored in Passwords has been compromised. To get notified when an account is breached, enable breach monitoring.  
  • Password alerts: Filter accounts by Weak, Reused, or All passwords. You can also sSort accounts by A-Z, Z-A, or Password strength. To view specific account details, click the account name. You’ll see the account’s username, password, password strength, website URL, and the date the account was added to Dropbox Passwords.
