"Invalid Email Or Password" when the team is trying to log into Dropbox on all platforms.
My team has dropbox downloaded on several devices. Mobiles & Tablets: both IOS and Android. Computers: Mac and PC - yet for some reason we cannot go online (tried most browsers) and access the dropbox account online. I manage the account and have not changed the password, so why do we all get the "Invalid Email or password" message? - And yes - I have cleared history.
Troubleshooting-Day 3
Finally received permission from Dropbox to view my files on a 3rd device after resetting the password. The old password was working fine on three devices until I needed to swap one device out for another. Why was replacing the password necessary to swap devices? Going forward, will changing the password always be necessary to successfully swap devices?

Hi Rikki, Steven
Are you trying to login on the desktop or website? I'm assuming desktop (as you're currently logged in to post on the Forum).
If web - can you try it on a diff browser?
If on desktop - which version are you running?

I haven't changed my password for awhile, it works on the laptop but not my Android phone. Error message says wrong username or password. The username and password entered is definitely correct. I see this issue still hasn't been resolved.

I am also having an issue logging into the Dropbox App for Mac on 10.12.4. I can sign into the webpage just fine. The webpage will prompt me for my 2factor authentication from the Google Authenticator, but the app just takes my login and password and fails every time. Help!

Hi Rainbear,
Are you using a recent version of Dropbox? www.dropbox.com/downloading
Does Dropbox give you any errors when it fails? - Rainbear8 years agoNew member | Level 2Redownloaded it today (but yes, I had downloaded it when I posted the comment), and now it's working. Thanks! :-)

I have UNINSTALLED and REINSTALLED dropbox THREE TIMES on this laptop to no effect. Attempting to log in using my absolutely correct email and password results in an “Invalid email or password” notification. How many days am I going to have to spend on this issue in order to resolve it? Why is this IMPOSSIBLE TO RESOLVE?
