Dropbox Passwords - Get rid of Duplicates?

I imported passwords that I have from iCloud, 3 Google Chrome Profiles, and 4 Firefox Profiles... As you can guess, I have many duplicates across almost 2000 passwords. Is there a function that I can use to get rid of any duplicates?

 

It is also important to note that there are some websites with multiple different logins/usernames, so I need to make sure these don't get deleted!!

    Hey nfriedman6, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Have you tried editing your existing passwords manually? 

     

    You can add and edit websites, usernames, passwords, and notes in the Dropbox Passwords browser extension and mobile application.

     

    To add or edit on the browser extension, open the extension and click Add or Edit.


    To add or edit on the mobile application, open the app and tap "+" (the plus sign) to add, or tap the name of the account and Edit to edit.


    Can you give this one a go, and let me know more? Thanks!

      Hi Megan,

      I am able to do this manually, however I have over 1000 passwords and this would take well over a day to complete. I was hoping there was some sort of functionality that would do this for me.
