Dropbox Passwords vs LastPass: Finding the better security solution
A breach of your digital life, a stolen identity or a public viewing of what’s private – these are all risks to your personal data. Whatever you worry about, you won’t have to with Dropbox. And you shouldn’t have to – because total digital security should be free.
A pioneer in security
Dropbox created the open-source tool that many password managers (including LastPass) use to figure out how strong a password is*. Zero-knowledge encryption means all your Dropbox account data – from usernames or URLs to passwords, notes and payment details – are only accessible to you.
Free protection for all of your storage
Passwords is available for every Dropbox user – for free – no matter what plan you’re on. Not only do you receive free protection, but you also get 2 GB of free storage on the Dropbox Basic plan – and even more on the paid plans.
More intuitive
Security, productivity and many other useful features are all in one place, right there in your Dropbox account – so you never have to jump back and forth between applications. You also get cloud storage, file sharing, automatic computer and device backup, PDF editing, eSignatures – and more.
Store your credentials securely, shielding them from unauthorised access with advanced encryption technology. Even if LastPass security is solid, your entire Dropbox account is protected by the most advanced encryption – providing the best defence mechanisms across every Dropbox feature and tool.
Enjoy effortless logins with autofill, ensuring convenience and productivity wherever you are. Instantly login to your favorite websites—and even add the Dropbox Passwords extension to top browsers like Chrome, for extra convenience.
Experience hassle-free access across various platforms, ensuring seamless integration into your digital life. If you try LastPass, you may only find support for certain operating systems. Dropbox Passwords comes with universal support.
Generate ultra-secure passwords effortlessly, safeguarding your accounts with unparalleled strength and complexity. You get world-class security, whatever Dropbox feature you’re using – why settle for less than the best when it comes to your passwords?

“One of the things that I like the best about Dropbox is that it evolves. It's not simply a place to store your files and be able to access those files on any device. It's also a password manager. It also backs up your photos. It has a PDF viewer. There are so many different applications incorporated into it. There's truly no other app that I'm aware of that offers the same services as Dropbox.”

Dropbox Passwords is a safe and easy way to save and sync your usernames, passwords and credit/debit card information – on all your devices. This keeps your online credentials secure in the cloud and on your devices.
Dropbox is secure by design. Unlike LastPass, we verify your device, making it easier for you – and only you – to access your data vault. You can add a four-digit PIN for extra security. By contrast, LastPass master passwords can be hacked.
When setting up Dropbox Passwords, you'll save 12 recovery words. That’s a dozen security layers that hackers just can’t handle.
Dropbox will notify all connected devices to confirm a new device. If you don't have access to a previously connected device, you’ll be prompted for your recovery words in their original order.
If you can’t recall those 12 words or don’t have them in the correct order, you won’t be able to sign in on a new device – and you’ll lose access to your account.
It may seem strict; that's because it is. And that’s how we protect you.
Dropbox Passwords stores your encrypted data in the cloud, but only your devices have the code to unlock it. Dropbox cannot access your information. Only you can view it.*
Free storage protection
Dropbox Passwords offers unlimited safeguarding for passwords and payment card storage. It’s unlimited protection, all free!
This incredible value also adds extra convenience. We securely house all your sensitive information in one encrypted data vault.

At no extra cost, this enhanced level of protection makes Dropbox an unbeatable choice for safeguarding your passwords – and other sensitive data.
