Dropbox Passwords is a browser extension and mobile app by Dropbox. Dropbox Passwords is a feature used to save your account logins, security codes, and payment cards, sync them across your devices, and autofill or suggest passwords when you log into websites and mobile apps.
What is a Password Manager?
A password manager is an application that securely stores account login details, like usernames and passwords, so users don’t need to remember passwords themselves.
Password managers, like Dropbox Passwords, are also able to generate secure passwords that adhere to the recommended complexity guidelines for maximum protection.
This allows password manager users to avoid exposing themselves to threats through unsecure practices, like using the same password for multiple accounts or writing passwords down.
Are Password Managers Safe?
Yes, password managers use advanced encryption to ensure that account details remain protected. Other methods of storing passwords, which don’t use encryption, leave your passwords potentially accessible to anyone.
Dropbox Passwords uses zero-knowledge encryption to ensure that no one besides yourself, not even Dropbox, can see your passwords.
