Re: I'm trying to gain access to my deceased father's Dropbox account

Hi Megan thank you so much for your response. I brought my Dads Ipad into work to get some help here and whilst trying to log into the wifi here it has logged me out of his Dropbox account. So I think we are sadly back to square one. 

Unless I can access his passwords in the settings, how would I do that? Thank you

    Hey Sarah!

    To access the saved passwords on the iPad, you'll need to open the Passwords app (which would be locked and you'd need to unlock it, I'm afraid) and then check if the Dropbox app is listed there.
