    Hi CapnBuck, how are you this Wednesday?

     

    Have you made sure that Safari is up to date on the device? 

     

    One more thing: I suggest this link, which can be opened directly in Safari. 


    Can you try it and let me know if this does the trick? Thanks.

I have the same issue. Have deleted and reinstalled app, restarted a zillion times and even done Mac OS Monterey repair in safe mode. All to no avail.

 

Help! I really need my passwords!

Below is what I received from Dropbox support to fix my issue in Safari.

 

Try the following:

  1. Open the Terminal app
  2. Paste the following command: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f -R /Applications/Safari.app
  3. Press Enter to run the command
  4. Restart Safari
