How to disable two step verification
Hi all, I have an issue to login in dropbox.
I have always been able to log in without a two-step verification (6 digit verification code). Unfortunately, the last time I logged in, I clicked on the "public network" instead of "private". But I always logged in private so far!
I have already changed my WLAN on the laptop to "private".
And in the Dropbox settings-security-security code is also NOT active, but I have to enter a code every time I log in. How can I disable this code again and log in as before only with my email+password WITHOUT security code?
Many greetings from Germany

- Juliane01Explorer | Level 4Hi Jay,
yes it's the code, which is sent by email.

This email is generally sent if the Dropbox site is accessed and logged in from an unknown location, or if using a VPN, along with other security detection methods.
Setting the network to public or private shouldn't make any difference when it comes to logging into the site.
- Juliane01Explorer | Level 4Hi Jay,
I started using Dropbox and logged in without the code many years. 4 weeks ago I logged in in the same location and I was asked if "public" or "private". After I clicked wrong "public" I got this code via email. Now it's not possible to log in without the code in every locations. I'm lost...!
