Does Changing Password to Dropbox will affect the API key or Token.
I would like to change my password to my dropbox but i not sure if my API key or Token will be reset also if i did change my password.
Jay0203 Здравко is correct; changing an account's password does not affect any app keys, app secrets, access tokens, or refresh tokens for that account. Those can all be managed separately, e.g., via the App Console or Connected Apps page.
Hi Jay0203,
No. Changing your account password is not supposed to affect neither any application key (including on your own application) nor issued token. Application key is something application specific. It identifies the application itself, not anything else (like an account, including your, and cannot be affected by password change on particular account). Token of any kind (including access token and refresh token) can not be affected in a retroactive way (including by password change).
