Hi RichardHawke! Thanks for posting on our forum today.

 

Do you mean that you installed the Dropbox Passwords browser extension on your Mac device perhaps? Or are you referring to the desktop app that’s used to sync files among multiple devices and your web account? 

 

Can you send me a visual of what you see when trying to sign in from both your devices? In case there’s any personal info showing, make sure to mask it beforehand.

 

I’ll be able to further help this way.

    Hi Nancy,

    Yes it was the Dropbox Passwords browser extension on may Mac device.

    Unfortunately the original screen will not come back, but I now have this that shows up when I try to start the program:

     

    After clicking on the link I get this:

      Thanks for the screenshot, Richard! The web extension seems to be all set now, from what I understand. 

       

      If you click on the Edit button, or visit another website on your Safari browser, are you able to save your logins to Dropbox Passwords? You can also see more details here on how to do this.

        Thanks for the answer, I will take a look at that.

        For my iPhone I still have this screenshot (sorry, it is in French but I think you will understand).

         

        I don't get any notification on my computer either...
