Hi mushanga ,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

 

Quick question are you only using the app on this phone? Or have you used it on other phones too . 

 

Just trying to get a better idea to help you out.

    Hi. That is correct - this is the only phone I am using the Passwords app on. I also use it in the Safari browser on my Mac.

     

    Thanks

      Hi from me too, mushanga! As a free Basic account user, you should be able to use Dropbox Passwords indeed on 3 devices maximum. 

       

      Are you able to use the Passwords browser extension normally or are you receiving a similar prompt there to upgrade your Dropbox account?

        Hi Nancy - yes I am able to use the Passwords browser extension on my Mac Studio in Safari without any issues.

         

        I noticed in my Dropbox online security settings that my Mac Studio is listed as a device alongside 'Safari Mac OS' - shouldn't these be treated as one as it's the browser on the device?

         

        Thanks
