Changing Dropbox password

Hello.



I have been using iPassword on my Mac and my iIOS devices for a few weeks, and everything has worked fine. Now I am looking to change my Dropbox password, as I don't feel like it's secure enough, but from everything I'm seeing on this forum, I'm worried that I will mess everything up if I change my Dropbox password.



Questions:

- Is there a best practices technique to use when changing Dropbox's password, so I (probably) won't have issues in syncing the keychain?

- Has anyone out there done this with the most recent version of Dropbox and had it work? As an FYI, I am using v 1.1.28.



I realize this is a Dropbox question, but since it specifically has to do with 1Password integration, I thought I'd start here.



Thanks.

    I believe that changing the Dropbox password will not affect syncing in any way. The authorization token is given by Dropbox once and it will remain the same even if the password is changed.

    Awesome. I was worried about being in some kind of recursive loop, where I generate the password in 1Password but then need to copy it to the app before I can access it on the keychain that's stored in Dropbox. So, thanks.
