Hi, I have the same issue. can you please help me. I don't have the 12 recovery words, i tried to remove and install the drobox password extension, my chrome is updated, restart chrome and the computer but still no luck. it happened when I signed out to my account to because the password shared is not synching, when I logged in it says

" Check “Chrome Windows” for a notification

Let’s make sure it’s you and sync any passwords you already added.
We’ll finish setting up after we get your approval on Chrome Windows.
Didn’t get it? Resend notification" it's been like this since Monday. "

Hey cthrn, sorry to hear you're having issues with this. 

 

Can you please clarify if you have access to a device that you previously connected to your Dropbox (Passwords) account or not?

 

Also, could you maybe clear your browser's cache or try another browser and let us know how it goes?

 

If the issue persists, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.

 

Thanks!

    Hi Walter,

     

    Yes, I have access before and until now. I can access my dropbox but not the dropbox password.

     

    I already tried that clear my browser's cache and tried to another browser but the issue is still the same 😞

     

    please click this link to see the screenshot https://snipboard.io/OhSBAT.jpg

     

     

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the additional information  cthrn - much appreciated!

     

    Can you please confirm that you're signed into your Dropbox account on the browser you're trying to use to set up Passwords? 

     

    Also, when you say you have access now and before to another device, can you clarify if you're getting the notification popup there when trying to connect this device?
