Duplicate and automated Dropbox Passwords removal.

So I imported passwords from both 1Password and LastPass. but many of them were identical and now I have hundreds of duplicates.

Is there some way to get Dropbox to delete all duplicates.. doing this manually will take many many hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi MacSpanner, happy Tuesday! 

     

    You'd need to manually edit, and remove any entries you might not need, I'm afraid. There's no automated way to do that for you.

     

    I hope this clarifies!

      yeah.. I sorta figured that was the current situation but it would be very useful to people perhaps wanting to transition over if there was a way to bring in passwords from multiple other accounts and have Dropbox sort out the duplicates.  This would make transitioning much more attractive to potential switchers.  Just saying...
