Duplicate and automated Dropbox Passwords removal.

Question

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 everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.

In this case, you may want to create an idea about this. If it gets voted by many users, then our team could perhaps look into this further and implement this function in the future.

Yeah me too

Upgrading from 7 to 8 on new PC and synching with old 7 used on old PC and iPad/iPhone

Please add this step to you sparse migration instructions, which somehow give a linear path through the process, with no 'if this happens do this' type info. Poor.

Install 7 on new PC

Install 8 on new PC

import 7 to 8 with prompt, this is told in the instructions but not given if 7 is not already installed. Thanks.

Install 8 on iPad

This import prompt gives you 100's of duplicates, with no menu item from dropbox nor support, to quickly swoop through the entries and remove duplicates.  Do not do this like I did.  Hours of work ahead. Grrrrrrr.

Please make this a thing. Somehow I got 6 or 7 copies of each password I imported from Firefox and I dread having to open Passwords. That should total over 1000 entries. Obviously, I would rather use a different password manager than keep using Passwords and deleting each duplicated entry manually. Keep in mind deleting one entry by itself is already a slow process that requires at least two clicks.

Even something as simple as selecting multiple credentials from a checkbox to then delete everything at once would help so much.
