Where are the passwords stored?

Dear All,

Where are the passwords stored in the Dropbox-Password service? I mean is it stored in the dropbox account (on dropbox servers) - the same as other files? Or inside the browser add-on like localy on the PC inside browser files? Please can you explain more about this password function?

    Hello Michał, the passwords are encrypted and stored in Dropbox servers. Dropbox says the encryption is zero-knowledge, meaning only you can decrypt them.
