Logging to API (for folder/file listing/downloading) with least number of credentials?

I am trying to make an option for every user, to log to his Dropbox via my website (API), and there his files will be listed. After that he can do other stuff which are not important for this questio...

I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you clarify what you mean by "the smallest number of user's dbx login info"?

Dropbox API apps should send users through an OAuth flow to authorize the app to access their account (or not) and receive an access token back. The API app itself should never handle the user's Dropbox actual credentials.
