PassDrop is a fully-featured secure password management system, compatible with the free KeePass 1.x (Classic) and multi-platform KeePassX desktop applications. PassDrop uses the free DropBox storage service for hassle-free synchronization of your password databases between your iPhone, Windows, OS X, and Linux desktop computers.

Commonly Requested Missing Features
- File attachment viewing and sharing
- Option to visually mark expired entries
- Ability to add files with other extensions
- Add files from other apps via file sharing
- Ability to unlink DropBox and keep local databases
- Key file authentication
- Landscape orientation support
- Better UTF16/international character support
- KeePass 2.x database support
- KeePass 2.x is not an improved version of KeePass 1.x, but rather an entirely new product with completely unrelated file formats. Both KeePass 1.x and 2.x are actively developed and maintained and are viable password storage solutions. I chose to support KeePass 1.x with PassDrop due to the higher portability and multi-platform support for the KeePass 1.x file format.
- iPad support
- I primarily wrote PassDrop because I use KeePass and DropBox and wanted to be able to use the two together on my iPhone, and there are no satisfactory existing programs to do that. Since I don't own an iPad I currently have no motivation to add iPad support. It's possible but unlikely that this will change any time soon.
- Twofish encryption
