Received unrequested 6-digit verification code on my phone
Hi, so I was recently hacked (someone gaine access to all of my (unique) passwords) which I changed from a secure device promptly after. A couple of hours ago I received 6-digit verification code...

The security code can be triggered by different events, so it could have been things other than a valid email and password combination.
To be certain for your own security, however, I'd recommend resetting thee Dropbox password.

Hi kdsnflk987 , thanks for bringing this to our attention.
First of all, are you able to see the login attempt on this page on your account?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay, thanks for the quick reply. All I can see are the currently logged in devices, which are all mine.

Is that the same for the browser sessions? Do the IP addresses match your own device?
