Yes it was the Dropbox Passwords browser extension on may Mac device.

Unfortunately the original screen will not come back, but I now have this that shows up when I try to start the program:

Thanks for the screenshot, Richard! The web extension seems to be all set now, from what I understand. 

 

If you click on the Edit button, or visit another website on your Safari browser, are you able to save your logins to Dropbox Passwords? You can also see more details here on how to do this.

    Thanks for the answer, I will take a look at that.

    For my iPhone I still have this screenshot (sorry, it is in French but I think you will understand).

     

    I don't get any notification on my computer either...

      When I click on the dropbox password logo in safari I get this screen:

       

      So I also get the feeling that the validation process has not gone through correctly.

        Hey RichardHawke, thanks for the nudge here.

         

        Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Passwords app, to see if that helps?

         

        Also, it might be far fetched, but have you tried a re-start on your device?
