Dropbox Passwords
293 TopicsThe Dropbox Passwords app has some compatibility issues with iOS 26
I have ios 26, the new developer release, and many apps have already issued updates to help them function. Dropbox Passwords seems to be bugging. It freezes up when I press the “…” to edit and change a password on an existing account. If you can escalate this, it would help many of us who have already updated our phones. I will contact Apple as well. thanks53Views1like2CommentsDropbox Passwords to store history of all old passwords.
I wish Dropbox Passwords stored password history. Why? 1) sometimes you update the password directly in Dropbox Passwords, only to find out that the website requires the old password to accept the update. 2) The browser plugin makes a mistake and updates the password, but you miss the singular-chance to "undo' the save, and end up with a record of the answer to a security question as your password & not the password itself. 3) you're fighting with picky password rules on a website and it accepts a password you gave it, but you've been regenerating them over and over, assumed the updated would fail because it took a moment to process, but then... as you've just regenerated the password you see that the password you just trashed was actually accepted. Having access to the history would solve all of these and more. ^^^ This I yoinked from a thread on this 2021 that has since been closed, and I'm restoring it as I'd still like to see this feature implemented. At the very least, I'd like that the app indicate when you last UPDATED the password, not just the date you ADDED the password to the app, which is often less meaningful.74Views1like2CommentsWhat’s new this spring
I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely delighted to finally see spring taking it’s hold. If you’re anything like us Irish, this time of year marks a turning point, as the dark winter months are replaced by longer, brighter and warmer days. Flowers start to blossom, bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, and it nearly seems like the whole country’s mood lifts. It’s just a blooming great time of year! We’ve also got a lot to be happy about with Dropbox, too. So, here’s what’s new this spring. Publishing content to social media We’re currently in the process of rolling out a feature that will allow you to publish content straight to social media from your Dropbox account. If you’ve been using Dropbox for your social media content, you’ll know that downloading - and re-uploading - videos and images can take up quite a bit of time so you’ll be delighted to hear that you will no longer need to do this as you can now publish posts on Facebook and Instagram directly from your Dropbox account. We’re also currently working on a function that will allow you to schedule posts directly from your Dropbox account and the ability to publish content to YouTube. You’ll need an Instagram for Business account and a linked Facebook account to be able to use these features. As this is currently being rolled out, this feature is not yet available to everyone. You’ll know if you can do it if you can see the “Publish” button. If you can’t see it, have a look at this thread to find out how to opt-in. Unlimited passwords Having somewhere to track and manage passwords these days is an integral part of life, otherwise you’re left trying to remember an ever growing and ever changing list of random words, not to mention the really hard bit of trying to remember which random word fits for which random account. With Dropbox Passwords, you don’t need to worry about any of that, it will keep all your passwords, logins and card details up to date and fully synced across three devices. It will even autofill your passwords so they are as safe and securer as possible, but that’s not even the best thing about Dropbox Passwords. So, what is the best thing about Dropbox Passwords? Well, that would be the fact that it is completely free and available to all Dropbox Basic account holders. So to boost your password security game and put your mind at ease, get started with Passwords now! Mobile search improvements If you’ve been using the Dropbox mobile app, you’ve probably noticed some improvements to our search functionality recently. If you haven’t, and you’re interested in learning more, here’s a very quick run down of what’s new. To start with, we’ve made the thumbnails that appear in your search results bigger, which makes it easier to identify the things that you’re looking for and means you don’t need to strain your eyes looking at those tiny tiles anymore. We’ve also added a number of new parameters and filters to help you find what you’re looking for quicker. Your search results will now include ‘Modified Dates’ and ‘File Sizes’. We’ve introduced ‘Snippets’ for keyword matches within files and there’s also the ability to filter your search based on ‘File Type’ or ‘Modified Date’ and you can now view search results in order of newest to oldest. You can find out more or leave some feedback on these changes on this thread. And finally We’d also like to give an honorary mention to one other thing that isn’t really Dropbox related but will have a huge impact on our lives over the coming weeks and months. That is, the sun. For those of you who don’t know it, it’s the huge golden ball burning in the sky. We haven’t seen much of it around these parts recently and we’re looking forward to seeing a lot more of it in the near future. We hope you’ll also get to enjoy it and soak up some lovely vitamin-D! Just don’t forget your sunscreen. If there’s something else that you’re happy about now that spring is in the air, or just in general, we’d love to hear from you. So please let us know what you’re grateful for by leaving us a comment below!6.4KViews2likes4CommentsI can't access Dropbox Passwords on my new iPhone, since I no longer have the old one.
Hi, I've bought a new iphone ( last one get destroyed in an accidend) so I'm trying to log in into my Passwords account but I'm unable to do it. I've tried via my dropbox account but then it try to send a notification to my old Iphone... guess what... then I've tried via the 12 recovery words but nothing. Is it possible to find another way or to receive on my registered dropbox and Passwords email the 12 words again ? thank you in advance!

I'm having the same problem that I had 2 years ago when trying to set up Dropbox Passwords on my Pixel 7 (ticket #23077274). I had to delete the app from my phone and am now trying to re-install it on the same phone. I am getting the same error message that I did before: Oops! An error has occurred, please try again later. I tried everything that was recommended before, including: uninstalled both Dropbox and Dropbox Passwords apps, then reinstalled cleared cache for Dropbox Passwords (then uninstalled Dropbox Passwords app and reinstalled) disconnected from Dropbox Passwords For Android under the security tab (then uninstalled Dropbox Passwords app and reinstalled) verified that only 2 devices (including this Pixel 7, as far as I can tell) are tied to my account Would love help getting this set back up again.134Views0likes11CommentsI can't login into my Dropbox Passwords using the 12 recovery words.
I recently wiped my PC's hard drive to get a fresh start, I don't have any other device signed in to dropbox, so my only option are the recovery worlds. I input all the words, but then I get a red letter message that says "Something went wrong—please try again." I know I have the right words because If I change any of them on purpose I'll get "That doesn’t look right. Check your spelling and try again". Am I doing something wrong? or is this a bug?Solved83Views0likes4CommentsDropbox Passwords app does not send notifications to allow new device
Trying to log into my Dropbox passwords app….will not send notification to any device or computer to allow log in. Something glitched in their system the other day. Logged me out of all my account.
