Dropbox Passwords is shutting down – export your data before October 28
Image Credit - FlyD on Unsplash Dropbox has just announced that Dropbox Passwords is going to be discontinued on October 28. This means, after five years, Dropbox's credential management service is ending. There will be a phased approach to the shutdown of the service, as the company says. First, the password manager will become view-only from August 28, which means you won't be able to fill in new passwords, and also, autofill features will be on September 11, the mobile app will stop working, but the browser extension will remain functional until the final phase. Basically, you have until October 28 to export your data. On October 28, Dropbox will be permanently deleting all stored passwords, usernames, and payment information from its servers. Dropbox recommends users transfer their credentials to apps like 1Password before the final end date. The company is also offering export guides on its website. According to Dropbox, this closure will allow the company to focus on enhancing features in its core products. We also know that Dropbox Passwords has faced serious competition over the years from 1Password, LastPass, and even solutions that are built-in, like Apple's, Google's, and Microsoft's. Dropbox purchased the password manager Valt back in 2019. After that, the company launched Dropbox Passwords in 2020. The service was initially available for paid subscribers, but it then expanded to all users in 2021. I personally think that this isn't too surprising. Dropbox Passwords never really took off the way some of the other services did. With so many people already using built-in options from Apple, Google, or Microsoft – or more established apps like 1Password – it was always going to be a tough space to compete in. Personally, I've been using Apple's built-in Passwords app, and it does the job well enough for me. Still, for anyone who relied on Dropbox Passwords, this change might be a bit of a hassle. At least the company is giving users time and tools to export everything safely before the shutdown.

Popular chip brand pulled from major Australian supermarkets
A popular potato chip brand has been pulled from the shelves of Australia's two biggest supermarket chains after being discontinued. Fans have noticed that the entire Tyrrells range has quietly disappeared from Coles and Woolworths stores. 'We always aim to bring delicious snacks to our consumers in line with their needs; however, we sadly had to retire the Tyrrells brand from the market due to insufficient levels of consumer demand,' a spokesperson said. 'We realise that there will always be true lovers of the brand out there; however, we need to balance the requirements of our consumers as well as our retail partners when making these tough decisions.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Snackbrands Australia and Woolworths for further comment. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment at not being able to stock up before the range disappeared. 'It's been confirmed from Tyrrells that Woolworths, Coles and IGA have stopped stocking these. Gone from their shelves without warning or even clearance tags. Didn't even get a chance to stock up,' a shopper fumed on social media. 'These were [expletive] good, made in Australia with Aussie potatoes, and at $3.80 for 165g. Price does what it says, without stupid price hikes and fake offers. 'Maybe Colesworths couldn't deal with a product that didn't play their game?' The post attracted a divided response. 'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a fan wrote. Another added: 'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken.' Others weren't surprised to hear that the brand had vanished from store shelves. 'Worked at a servo and this brand was always getting thrown out because nobody wanted them, even when marked down for quick sale,' one Aussie wrote. The Tyrrells range is still sold in selected Harris Farm stores. Fans have also spotted the Tyrrells range in some IGAs, at 7-Eleven and The Reject Shop, as well as online on Amazon. Originally created in Herefordshire in England, manufacturing relocated to Victoria in 2016, following Tyrrells' acquisition of Yarra Valley Snack Foods a year prior. The move created 120 jobs in the Yarra Valley as the region became the first location for Tyrrells' production outside the UK.

4 Popular Kirkland Items Discontinued at Costco — How To Replace Them for Cheap
You probably already know that fans of Costco love the company's super affordable products, including its own food products. Some may even have been elevated to almost a cult-like status, with members tracking its availability. Be Aware: Read Next: Sadly, there have been several Kirkland Signature products that have been discontinued. If you're sad about their disappearance, so are many others. The promising news is that there may be some decent cheap replacements to try. Here are the four items being discontinued and what to purchase in their stead. You may have seen a few Reddit threads with users lamenting that their favorite soy milk has disappeared. Some have emailed Costco to ask for updates. According to one Reddit thread, a user got a reply stating Costco has experienced slow sales and decided to discontinue the product. Apparently, Costco will roll out an unsweetened soy beverage with the Your Good Foods brand in the spring of 2026. In the meantime, you can try Kirkland Signature's oat beverage, with some other Redditors saying Trader Joe's soy milk is the far superior choice. Trending Now: This item found on many social media posts was discontinued because of a manufacturer issue back in 2020. There have been other brands like Mrs. Renfro's peach salsa, but some say that it costs more. Costco did eventually bring back another brand called La Mexicana Organic Mango Salsa and La Juan's Salsa Co's Pineapple Mango Salsa, but the latter had a recent recall notice. Warehouse members and even publications like Chowhound are still lamenting the loss of this brand of four cheese ravioli. What many loved was that it was easy to cook, and packed full of flavor. Considering it had Asiago, Grana Pandano, Parmesean and Romano cheese, it's hard not to get a ton of flavor from that combination. You can still find Kirkland Signature fresh ravioli, like their spinach and cheese flavor. Costo also sells other brands like Fazio's and Rana. For those looking for a more similar replacement (or who hate the taste of spinach), Amazon, Walmart's Great Value and Target's Good & Gather brands have their own version. As for how good these alternatives fare, you'll have to do a taste test and find out. According to Reader's Digest, Costco started phasing out its own brand of chocolate chips back in August 2024. So, if you wanted to buy them for your next baking adventure, you're sadly out of luck. One Redditor found out Costco discontinued it probably due to rising cocoa prices. For now, Costco is only selling Nestle's chocolate chips, which could cost more. If you want to buy in bulk, Costco's offering may still be cheaper. You could also try Walmart's Great Value brand. You can buy a six pack of their 12 oz bags online, and can come in much cheaper than other major chain grocery stores. Disclaimer: Prices and availability of products accurate as of July 16, 2025 and subject to change.

Aldi shoppers distraught after popular item is quietly discontinued: 'Screaming, crying, throwing up'
Aldi shoppers have been left reeling after discovering one of their favourite products has quietly disappeared from shelves. One Aussie customer sparked a discussion after noticing the beloved Choceur white chocolate coconut blocks were nowhere to be found. The creamy, coconut-flavoured white chocolate has been a crowd pleaser for years, with cornflakes as one of its key ingredients for an extra crunch. 'Has this been discontinued? It's no longer on the website, and I haven't seen it in store. I've been wanting to try it for ages and now this happens,' the shopper said in a Reddit thread. Many were distraught over the news, with one saying: 'This is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.' 'My family were regular buyers of it. Easily the best Choceur by a margin. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it around for the past four to five months,' another shared. 'Screaming, crying, throwing up. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance to,' one added. It's now confirmed the chocolates were discontinued in November 2024 - as the supermarket giant continues to diversify its product range to provide customers with variety. The coconut-flavoured white chocolate blocks have been a huge hit among shoppers, with many describing they 'taste like heaven'. 'It's like a Raffaello chocolate ball but in a block form. Oh my god, it's just so good. Hands down, my favourite. I thought I was in heaven the first time I tried it,' one customer raved. Many agreed, with one saying: 'OMG definitely the best white chocolate ever.' Content creator Annie Knight previously shared her rave reviews when she taste tested the white chocolate coconut block. 'Are you joking? I think this is the best chocolate I've ever had,' she declared. 'This is a 10. I've been waiting to give out a 10 and I'm giving it to Aldi chocolate. Can you believe it? I don't think you can get any better than that. 'It's the best thing I've ever had in my life. This wins. This slaps.'

Shoppers just realising ‘favourite ever' 80s sweet has been AXED leaving them gutted
SHOPPERS are just realising their "favourite ever" 80s sweet has been axed - and they're gutted. The sought-after Wonka Everlasting Gobstoppers, dubbed Heartbreakers, are no longer in stock across stores in the UK. The white, pink, and red heart-shaped treats changed in colour and flavour with each layer, making them a hit among sweet lovers. Originally imported from the US, these 340g 80s sweets scanned at tills for £3.50. However, some shoppers are only now discovering that the popular sweet treat has been discontinued. One user took to Reddit, writing: "I just learned this has been discontinued, correct me if I'm wrong. ps what's a good replacement?" The post attracted several comments from disappointed shoppers who were also unaware that the popular treat had been axed. This shopper wrote: "I was obsessed with these like 4 years ago. Why would they discontinue them?" "The spree hearts were my favourite ever," added another. A third said: "I keep hoping they'll bring them back." "I just found out the bad news too! I'm devastated," a fourth added. It comes after M&S confirmed it had axed a beloved snack - particularly popular with a pint. 6 ways to get the biggest bargains in B&M It came after a disgruntled shopper took to social media to inquire about its whereabouts. They said on X: "@Marksandspencer have you stopped selling the Sweet Chilli Combo Mix snack? "Been to several stores today and no sign of them. Please say they've not been discontinued!!" The Sweet Chilli Combo Mix was a selection of crispy potato and corn snacks - which came in the shape of tubes, wheels and flat crisps. Fans deemed them the perfect sweet and spicy morsel to enjoy alongside a cold drink. But their worst fears were confirmed when M&S employee Simon weighed in on the thread. He said: "It looks like we have discontinued this flavour, sorry about that." It follows Nestle confirming they pulled a new type of Rowntree's sweets just one year after launch. And B&M fans are in a frenzy after spying retro sweets back on shelves. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
