I'm shocked that Dropbox didn't actually unit test their authentication method. Doesn't it seem like there is something else going on here?

  No one knows that they didn't unit test these methods. Bugs can arise from the unexpected interaction of separate components also - does anyone seriously think that unit testing is a silver bullet?

    Well, I think it goes to show that an automated process that attempts to log in with a random string every 10 minutes to a random account should probably be a standard feature of production. (Or maybe just to a specific account so you don't lock people out, but random would be ideal.)
