Cannot set password for shared links on PC

Hello. Recently I've noticed that I no longer have the ability to password protect shared links through the link settings on my PC.  I'm still able to go onto the Dropbox website and add a password...

Thanks for the reply.

 

All other features appear to be working as expected.

 

The current version is 183.4.7058, and the sync status is "up to date".

Thanks for checking, Brick L..

 

Can you also just double-check that you're signed in to the correct account, that has access to this feature?

    Yes.  I only have 1 Dropbox account, and that's how I'm signed in on my PC.  I've been subscribed to a Plus plan for several years now, and this feature was working properly until last week.  I have not made any intentional changes on my end.  I also have access to this feature (password protecting links) through the Dropbox website, I just can't do it on my PC like I could 2 weeks ago.
