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.
If at all possible I'm really just looking to receive a definite yes or no answer on the question whether the authorization request today at 2:18AM UTC could have been triggered by any other event other than the correct entry of the email/password combination.
In that case I'd have to (again) reset over 100 other passwords as well, so it's an important question to me.
2FA was disabled at that time and I did not receive an email. Only the authorization request on my phone.
