Team plan and change passsword

My work account is now using the standard plan of Storage for Teams. I have one of my licenses that logged in to different computers. I tried to change the password of that account and it said it won't start to work unless I logged out, and the other computers can still use that account without using the new password. How could I fix this problem?

Also, can the admin account set up a forced logout for the members' accounts?

Will there be any management difference between my plan and the Dropbox Business plan?

    Changing your password doesn't prevent the application from signing in. Only signing out of the app or unlinking is from your Security page will do that. Your password is used to sign in to the Dropbox application on your computer, but after that it doesn't rely on your password. It uses a secure token that it receives during the sign in process.
