    Thanks for the info. Currently, there isn't any method to protect the account once it's logged in via the browser extension.

Hi TuttoSpam79, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

Could you clarify if you're referring to the Dropbox Vault, or the Dropbox Passwords app?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay, thanks for reply.

I mean Dropbox Password. I'm trying the Plus version (even if i understood that i have to buy the essential for request an invoice). I see in the Chrome extension options that I have only a phrase to unlock/lock the safe otherwise it's always accessible to everyone. One good function of Dashlane is that i can use the fingerprint for unlock the safe, in this way the procedure is really fast and security. Is this feature exist in Dropbox Password or only the phrase for protect the safe?

Thanks in advace!
