The Dropbox Passwords extension updates passwords when there is no need
I have a particular login account that has multiple security levels.
i.e. It has a UserId and Password for logging in and an additional Password for specical functionality.
When I log in, Dropbox passwords populates my UserId and Password correctly.
If I invoke the special functionality, and enter the additional password when prompted, Dropbox Passwords updates the login password to the additional password and I need to cancel the update if I'm quick enough and see the dialog box.
This is annoying, is there a way to stop the automatic update.
I have also noticed that Dropbox Passwords will create a duplicate entry for some of my accounts for some unknown reason and I finish up having multiple Account records for the same site?
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Walter,
I'm having the issues with the web browser extension.
It's a bit hard to capture screenshots as the save dialogue box appears for a very short time.
The best example I can share is that I have a Trading Account with a Stock Broker.
It has a user id and password to log in.
It also has a Trading password (must be different to the login password) that I need to enter when I do a trade.
As soon as I enter the trading password, Dropbox Passwords displays the dialog indicating that it is saving the Trading Password as my login Password for the site and if I'm not quick enough, it overwrites my Login Password with my Trading Password making me go through the process of resetting my login password.
I hope that makes sense?
