Some online pundits oddly recommended a switch to 1Password, which is a fine password manager but has no free tier at all. Many people assumed that LastPass was eliminating its free service altogether. LastPass's announcement of the imminent end of the free lunch created a predictable wave of online outrage. Dropbox Passwords is a password manager that syncs across your devices, without taking up any space in your Dropbox account.

LastPass is reverting to its previous policy of limiting free users to one 'type' of device - either PCs, Macs, Windows tablets and Linux boxes on one side, or smartphones, iPads and Android tablets on the other. We're sure it's just a coincidence that Dropbox announced its own free tier on the day the LastPass free plan became more restrictive. Until today (March 16), you would have been able to get that same unlimited universal syncing with LastPass's free tier. We’re excited to help make the passwords experience easy for everyone, so in early April we’re rolling out Dropbox Passwords to all Dropbox users. With basic protections, such as two-step verification, your information isnt open to every prying eye. All three are high on our list of the best password managers and will let you sync all your passwords across all your devices. Beginning in April, users of the Dropbox Basic plan can try a limited version of the Dropbox password manager, known as Passwords. LastPass and 1Password each cost $36 per year, and Keeper undercuts those by a buck ( eight dollars (opens in new tab) if you're a Tom's Guide reader). Most paid password managers cost a lot less than that.

The Dropbox Personal Plus plan gives you 2TB of syncing storage for $12 a month or $120 a year.

If so, then you can upgrade to Dropbox's paid plans (opens in new tab), which ain't cheap, to get the unlimited version of the Dropbox password manager.
