Hi Megan, thanks for your reply.
Actually I'm referring to the password to access in my iPhone to the App Dropbox Password.
Currently this App is protected with the Face ID Password (or my iPhone Password) which I don't think is a solution secure enough.

Other password managers (i.e. 1Password) allows the FaceID access control or to use alternative passwords.

I think this should be a mandatory option for a safe password manager.

Thanks

Hey cex, thanks for your feedback on this.

 

If you've set your Dropbox Passwords app to auto-lock, the app should use your device’s current, default security feature to unlock your device.

 

You can see more info and steps on how to enable auto-lock here.

 

I hope this helps!
