Password
The password I use on the WEB does not work for the software on my computer
- 4 years agoHi James F.26, the Dropbox password should allow symbols in it, so most likely there was another error with the saved password.
I'm glad to hear that resetting the password on the site helped you to login.

On my Desktop when I click on the Dropbox icon I see the invitation to sign in which offers me Google, Apple or e-mail & password. I put in e-mail and password manually ( I am not offered password by Keychain). It is rejected.
If I go into the WEB sign-in I am offered the same invitation and when I put in my e-mail I am offered the password by Keychain and I get in.
What is happening.

The password that is saved in keychain is different to the one you are manually typing in.
The password in keychain is correct the other isnt.
You need to use Safari or iOS to get in to keychain and get the password out to put in to the software.

No, the password I am using manually is the same as the one in the keychain. I made sure of that before doing it.

It cannot be - if it was the same it would work on both.
Go to keychain and choose the copy/paste option.

The Setup Dropbox will not take a paste, I have to put the password in manually. Very strange. But I am sure it is correct. It is an Apple generated password with hyphens.
