Set a separate master password for the Dropbox Passwords app on iOS.

Hi,

the current solution for Dropbox Password App for iOS is very unsecure as anyone that know the iPhone password can easily access to the passwords wallet.

This is the case i.e. when someone has to provide its iPhone to a service center for a repair and he/she has to provide the iPhone password to the technician.

Some other Apps have a master password which is different from the iPhone one, so all passwords are securely protected.

I think this is a must feature, otherwise the app is very, very unsecure...

p.s. this is not the case for the desktop version, which already has a master password.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Can't really use it until it's upgraded, the security risk is too high.
