Hi TC17, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, it sounds like you're referring to the verification code sent via email, as you haven't logged into the account for a long time, or from a different location.
Have you also set up two-step verification on the account with SMS or an authentication app?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi. I am sure that its the verification code sent via email. I didnt set up a two factor verification, but I see that since I last logged onto that dropbox it was introduced.
Its urgent for me as my husband passed away and thats where I put documents for our Estate and also photos. And now I cannot access it .
What can I do?
Thanks

Hey TC17, I'd need some account-specific info on my end in order to see what we can do about this.
Can I send you an email, so that we can have a look together?

Yes please do. My email address is [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
Many thanks
