Community ManagerHow to import your passwords to Dropbox Passwords from other password managers
You might have heard about Dropbox Passwords, (and if you haven’t, you can learn all about it here) but what if you already use a password management tool? We have good news, it’s simple to import yo...
Hi,
I can't find "import from" on both my browser extension and mobile app.
I only see "+" button allowing me to add a single login or a payment card.

Hey domenico_ds, thanks for posing on our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
The option to import from other password managers should be visible in your Dropbox Passwords preferences.
To navigate there, click on the upper left dotted icon when on your homepage and then click on Passwords.
Once within the Passwords interface, click on your avatar (profile icon) on the upper right corner and click on Preferences.
You should now be able to see the Import option.
Let me know if this helps!
I have recently begun using Dropbox password manager on my PC, iPad and Android phone. My issue is regarding importing passwords into the Dropbox password manager. Firefox has stored logins, and I've exported those to a .csv file on my PC. I can't find a way to import them into the DB password manager, either in the Firefox extension or in the Dropbox Settings labelled Passwords/Account Settings. As a result, Firefox supplies a password when logging into a site, superseding DB's password manager.
On the iPad, it's a similar story. The iPad stores and supplies passwords for logins, and the DB password manager seems to not exist. I have the password manager app installed on the ipad, but when opened, it is a bare-bones window containing the list of stored passwords. There is no button or icon to import them (you might say that they are already imported). But again, the DB password manager doesn't come into play when logging in anywhere.Am I wasting my time with the DB password manager, or is there a way to make it top-dog in both of these apps?
