I accidentally turned on the dropbox password storage app.

Sorry to trouble you, but I recently discovered that dropbox was saving every one of my passwords for ALL my online accounts without my permission.

 

Could you please tell me how I can turn this off permanently?

 

Thanks!

 

Ivan

P.S. it`s happening on both my email accounts:

    Hi ivansc, how are you today?

     

    As mentioned in this Help Center article: Dropbox Passwords is a browser extension and mobile app by Dropbox.

     

    So, you would need to avoid the browser extension or app, if you wish to not use them. 

     

    I hope that clarifies.

    Hello and thanks for the advice. My biggest worry now is that I may accidenally turn the passwords app on again in future, so exsactly HOW would I have done that? I`ve searched everywhere I can think of  & not found an "no/off" button! 😄

     

    regards, Ivan
