    <title>topic How to retrieve current password in Security and Permissions</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Security-and-Permissions/How-to-retrieve-current-password/m-p/620983#M4891</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, I have dropbox installed in several devices and currently working fine. Now, I want to install it in a new device but I don't remember the current password. Is there some way to retrieve the password in use without going through a recovery password process? I want to avoid that because changing the password means to re-loggin with the new password in every device using the account, which is annoying, and since I am currently logged in, I suppose that the password must be stored somewhere. Do I suppose right?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Diego.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;No. You have to &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/forgot" target="_blank"&gt;reset the password&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;I want to avoid that because changing the password means to re-loggin with the new password in every device using the account, which is annoying&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Changing your password does not unlink a device from your account. Your password is only used to link a device to your account (and to sign-in on the website). Once linked, a device uses a secure token for authentication, and changing your account's password does not revoke the token.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;since I am currently logged in, I suppose that the password must be stored somewhere. Do I suppose right?&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;No service worth anything would ever store passwords in a format that is human readable or recoverable. Able to reset, yes; recover, absolutely not.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
