How to find and access Dropbox Passwords?

I am receiving messages that I must download my material in Dropbox Passwords, before it disappears on Oct. 28. . I do not even know if I have anything there, or how to find it. It is nowhere obvious on my computer.  How do I recognize and locate the Dropbox Passwords extension, get into it, and see if there is anything I need to export before you eradicate it.  I have a list of special words to use to access the Passwords, but I can't even find the Passwords extension. I have a MacBook Air OS Monterey 12.7.6

    Manners cost nothing if a reply isnt clear feel free to ask for clarifications but being polite.... 

    In terms of the extension it is part of the browser and so depends upon what browser you are using and if its installed at present. https://help.dropbox.com/installs/download-dropbox-passwords may help you reinstall if needed to access it

    You apparently didnt read my question-- Of course I read those steps, but I can't even begin because I don't know how to access the Dropbox  Password browser extension.  Where is in on a MacBook Air?  What does it look like?  That's step one. I can't find it.  READ MY QUESTION NEXT TIME!
