Admins: Monitor your team’s password security score

Certain types of admins can view their team’s password security score in the admin console. This includes each team member’s password score, the number of weak or reused passwords they’re storing, and how many potential breaches there have been for their credentials.
 

To view your team’s password security score:

1. Log in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
2. Click Admin console in the left sidebar.
3. Click Security.
   • Note: Only certain types of admins can access the Security page.
4. Click Password Strength.

You’ll see your team’s password strength score.

You can also see password scores for individual team members. If a team member is using Dropbox Passwords, you’ll see a password score next to their email address, which contributes to the entire team’s password security score. If a team member has a low password score, we recommend contacting that person to update their passwords.
