Dropbox Passwords - does this App store password history?

Most sites want you to enter both old and new passwords before they can reset your credentials. And I keep forgetting my current password. 😞

I ran into a similar issue today. I logged into a site with my stored PW in Dropbox only to find that the PW was only three characters. The site requires a minimum of 8, so I knew it wasn't right. As near as I can tell, Dropbox Passwords saw something I updated in my profile on the site and mistook it for a PW update, and I didn't see the "ignore" prompt when it happened.

 

Fortunately, I remembered where I had the old PW written down and was able to retrieve it, but having a history in Dropbox Passwords would allow me to easily find the old information.
