Wallets and securityWe recommend exporting your passwords to a new service by June 2023.

Trezor will deprecate Trezor Password Manager on June 30, 2023. After this date it will no longer be officially supported, so we encourage current users to download their password database before this deadline to keep your passwords safe. Read our password migration guide to see how to export your passwords in a format that can be moved to another service.

Trezor Password Manager is a free, open-source browser extension that allows you to use the keys stored on your Trezor in place of a master password, in order to secure your secrets. First launched in 2016, it has a small but loyal user base that amounts to 1% of Trezor users. If you have installed and use the Password Manager and believe this change affects you, please skip ahead to the section What to do with your passwords.

The introduction of new changes to Google Chrome has introduced technical challenges that would require a large reallocation of resources to developing the Password Manager, holding back the development of other products. Ultimately, it is not a service that aligns with our focus on bitcoin and we have decided to proceed with developing products that most benefit our users.

We allocate the vast majority of our resources to improving the security, privacy and usability of bitcoin, therefore features such as coinjoin support and mobile app development take priority over the Password Manager.

The GitHub repository can of course be used as a foundation for an improved version in future, and we encourage others to use it to inspire and enhance existing projects. Adding support for the upcoming Google Manifest v3 is the main blocker at this moment.

Anyone who uses Trezor Password Manager can migrate their passwords database to another tried-and-tested platform by following this Trezor Password Manager guide on Trezor Knowledge Base. The guide will show you how to safely export your passwords and import them into a new platform.

Trezor Password Manager exports data in a common format that is supported by several different password managers, so you will not be restricted to any one solution. There are many options on the market, each with their own benefits. More important than which password manager you choose, is that you use a password manager to begin with, as they can improve your accounts’ security immensely.

At the moment, we are not aware of other free password managers that use a Trezor to secure or encrypt their data. That said, Trezor Password Manager is completely open source, and we hope it may soon see a revival in the hands of the community. We would also welcome and support other password manager companies who would like to implement support for Trezor as a means of encrypting stored data.

Ending support for Trezor Password Manager was originally published in Trezor Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
