What will other users do without Dropbox Passwords?
I've been using the Dropbox Passwords on my computer and phone and not sure what I'm going to do without it! What are other Dropbox users going to do now? I'd welcome any suggestions.

Thanks for your helpful replies, I've decided to use 1Password but I'm upset that I now have to pay for something that I was already paying for and worked very well

Exported passwords to another program, what I'm wondering is what happens to my passwords on Dropbox? The official answer is that I can't delete the passwords unless I also delete my Dropbox account, which for now I want to keep. But when I try to delete my passwords individually, or change or somehow make the information unusable, I get a message about the app going away; it won't let me delete anything. I don't like that Dropbox is keeping this information and would like to know that it is erased.

I can update to add that my initial attempts were on my PC, and this is where I encountered the inability to delete or reset passwords. I occasionally used Dropbox Passwords on my android devices but found it too cumbersome and so switched to Google passwords on those devices. However, yesterday I opened the app on my phone and I was able to successfully delete my passwords, one by one. I only got through about 100 of the 400+, but today checked in on my PC and those 100 are definitely gone. It's tedious having to do it one by one, and while I accept that Dropbox is scuttling the app, I feel pretty cheated that they are making it so hard to remove all of my passwords from their system. Almost like they initiated the divorce and they are retaining custody my passwords. The password integration is one of the main reasons I have kept the paid subscription.
