Invalid Email Or Password - Login issue

My team has dropbox downloaded on several devices. Mobiles & Tablets: both IOS and Android. Computers: Mac and PC - yet for some reason we cannot go online (tried most browsers) and access the dropbox account online. I manage the account and have not changed the password, so why do we all get the "Invalid Email or password" message? - And yes - I have cleared history.

    I am facing the similar issue.. Getting error "Username Invalid or Incorrect" while trying to login via my Laptop. Last time I logged in to Drop box was through my Tab since then I am facing this issue. Can someone give me the solution for this..

    I haven't changed my password for awhile, it works on the laptop but not my Android phone.  Error message says wrong username or password.  The username and password entered is definitely correct.  I see this issue still hasn't been resolved.

    I am also having an issue logging into the Dropbox App for Mac on 10.12.4. I can sign into the webpage just fine. The webpage will prompt me for my 2factor authentication from the Google Authenticator, but the app just takes my login and password and fails every time. Help!

        Redownloaded it today (but yes, I had downloaded it when I posted the comment), and now it's working. Thanks! :-)

    Hi Rikki, Steven

    Are you trying to login on the desktop or website? I'm assuming desktop (as you're currently logged in to post on the Forum). 

    If web - can you try it on a diff browser?

    If on desktop - which version are you running?

    I have UNINSTALLED and REINSTALLED dropbox THREE TIMES on this laptop to no effect. Attempting to log in using my absolutely correct email and password results in an “Invalid email or password” notification. How many days am I going to have to spend on this issue in order to resolve it? Why is this IMPOSSIBLE TO RESOLVE?

      Could the reason why I cannot access DB through a third device be that DB has made its application so secure that users cannot log in? Can someone please help?

        No, you should be able to log in. However, we cannot guess as to the issue because we need a bit more info here - e.g. errors etc.
