How to retrieve current password

[carancanfunfa]

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?

Thanks,

Diego.

No. You have to reset the password.

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.

No service worth anything would ever store passwords in a format that is human readable or recoverable. Able to reset, yes; recover, absolutely not.
