Hi i just installed the pro. Can you make an option that the profile of the superadministrator is unaccesible or that the password shows up as dots so that the manager can not see my password from dropbox?

Kind regards,
Raoul

Making the field show dots is non-protection ;) All a manager would have to do is view the page source. The best approach is to create a DropBox folder under your account and share it with a free DropBox account created for the site owner. Akeeba Backup will support full ACL when running under Joomla! 1.6 which will allow you to lock out people from its configuration and/or downloading the backup files.
