Richard's correct, Dropbox API apps should not handle the user's credentials, but should use the OAuth flow instead. Note that this only needs to be done once per user. Once your app has an access token for a user, it can store and re-use the access token for future API calls for that user without further manual user intervention. Access tokens don't expire by themselves (though they can be manually revoked).
