dropbox security situation
Recently I created a dropbox account with my gmail account. Very shortly
after creation I was refused access since dropbox claimed someone tried
to change the password on my account and they weren't sure it was me so
got prompted to change my password.
What I don't know is if high probability exists this happened or if
dropbox does this with everyone that first creates an account using google
credentials to get new passwords on those accounts. It would be good to
know one way or the other since the former scenario is more serious than
the latter. I deleted dropbox and anything linked to it from all of my
devices and am thinking to use a different email address with a strong
password for a future dropbox account and expect will be changing my
google password shortly as well. The password on google I used was strong
but google accounts whether two-step or not are routinely hacked.
