Dropbox is dropping (as in discounting -- not as in releasing) their password manager product *called* Passwords [0].
I had expected from the link/article title ("Dropbox Passwords Discontinuation") that Dropbox was going passwordless in general, e.g. for their main data sync product. This does *not* appear to be the case.
At least this news restores the normal order to things.
Does this lower your likelihood to use them for other things? It's painful to switch.
Or is Dropbox hunkering down? Their market cap is $7.6bln on a roughly flat $2.5bln in revenue (compared to $4.5bln and $1.1 for Box) which suggests they're still relevant. Perhaps they're accepting that growth is gone, and time to focus on the cost side?

Are they just thrashing around at this point without vision?
Most of what I’ve seen launch from them has been… undercooked.
