I didn't log into a dropbox account on my iphone or ipad. I just clicked the link and the documents appeared.

Hey dmgonzales , there's no need to create a Dropbox account to access a shared link.
But can you check something? If you access the link through a computer, but from a private browsing/incognito window, are you required to enter a password?

No worries! Let me know what you find.
And yes, team members can add passwords to shared links as well.
