    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1810632"&gt;@Unstable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, thanks for bringing this to our attention.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There isn't an option for a Magic Link via email. However, if you have the Dropbox mobile app running on a device, you can use the '&lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs/connect-computer" target="_blank"&gt;Connect a computer&lt;/A&gt;' feature to install the app that way.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you need any further assistance, please let me know!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>My email was hacked, can I install the desktop app without a password?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Security-and-Permissions/My-email-was-hacked-can-I-install-the-desktop-app-without-a/m-p/755062#M14142</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My email account has been compromised and I'm concerned my associated Dropbox may have also been accessed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm fairly confident the hacker only had access to my emails and not all my passwords.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The password for my Dropbox account hasn't been changed so it hasn't been &lt;STRONG&gt;reset&lt;/STRONG&gt; using the compromised email account.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, now that I have regained access to my email account I notice that around the time of the email compromise, I received an email that said "&lt;STRONG&gt;You're invited to download the Dropbox desktop app"&lt;/STRONG&gt; and a few days later &lt;STRONG&gt;"Click below to see how easy it is to complete your Dropbox setup: you'll be able to access your files from anywhere."&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My question is, is it possible to get the Dropbox install to send an email with a Login Link that doesn't require the password. These are often referred to as&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Magic Links&lt;/STRONG&gt; and can be used to speed up the install process.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My fear is that even though they didn't have my password and it hasn't been reset they may still have accessed my dropbox files.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;P.S. I have checked the linked devices, followed the Dropbox instructions for being hacked and will be treating this as though I have lost everything.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
