Invalid email/password combination

When I sign in to download the shared documents, it always shows invalid email/password combination. Why does it show this remind?

    What is 'the page' you accessed, was it the official Dropbox site? Were you able to access the documents you need?

     

    Currently, this is what the official login page looks like:

     

     

    As you can see, this has the new logo, and no Microsoft login. I'd personally recommend accessing the Dropbox site and then resetting your Dropbox password, just in case this was a phishing site you accessed.

     

    If you use the same email and password with other sites, I'd recommend changing them there as well.

    Hey vincy peng, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you clarify if you're getting this error when trying to log into your Dropbox account or access and download a shared file?

     

    If you could send us a screenshot too, I'd appreciate it.

     

    Thanks!

        Have you tried clearing your browser's cache or using another browser since you first got this error vincy peng?

         

        Also, are you able to log into the account normally?
