Update (not reset) password on phone
I went to Dropbox on my PC and changed:reset my password. No problems there, all good.
Now I want to get on my phone and update it to match. How do I do that? I do not want to RESET it again; I just did that on PC. I just want to UPDATE the pw to match. Cannot find any instructions on that.

Your password is only used to link a device to your account once. Once you've linked a device, it uses a secure token for access and no longer relies on your password. Changing the password on your account has no impact on devices you've already linked. You would only need to use the new password for signing in to any new devices/apps or the Dropbox website.

Hey shaheenpraween. Can you clarify what the issue is?
Did you forget your Dropbox password perhaps? If yes, you can reset it from this page.
