Dropbox Passwords to store history of all old passwords.

I wish Dropbox Passwords stored password history.  Why?

 1) sometimes you update the password directly in Dropbox Passwords, only to find out that the website requires the old password to accept the update.

2) The browser plugin makes a mistake and updates the password, but you miss the singular-chance to "undo' the save, and end up with a record of the answer to a security question as your password & not the password itself.

3) you're fighting with picky password rules on a website and it accepts a password you gave it, but you've been regenerating them over and over, assumed the updated would fail because it took a moment to process, but then... as you've just regenerated the password you see that the password you just trashed was actually accepted.

Having access to the history would solve all of these and more.

^^^ This I yoinked from a thread on this 2021 that has since been closed, and I'm restoring it as I'd still like to see this feature implemented. 

At the very least, I'd like that the app indicate when you last UPDATED the password, not just the date you ADDED the password to the app, which is often less meaningful.
