I sent a password protected link to view files to a colleague & got a verify identity message.
I sent a password protected link to a colleague for her to review the files in that folder. When she clicked the link, she got a message that dropbox needs to confirm her identity. I have pasted the snip she sent me below. Is this legit multi-factor authentication thing or some phishing stuff? If it is legit, does she put in her actual email? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for helping me out here, Haoli. Who Can Access is set to "Anyone with link".

Does she have an email already registered with Dropbox, if so, she could use that email; If not, can she try the "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Apple" option to sign in?
