Can't access email to get 6-digit code

Keyonkk

I can login successfully,  but needs me to check 6-digit code in email.

 

Before immigration, login dropbox never needs me to check 6-digit code in email.

After immigration, it needs me to check 6-digit code in email. (same computer)

 

My email account was disabled (long time no use and I forgot the password), I can't login to my email to check the 6-digit code.

I only want to login Dropbox without check email 6-digit code, so what can I do?

 

Thanks

Hey @Sezqqqq, sorry to see you're having trouble.

 

Do you mean that it's asking for a 6 digit code, when you try to login?

 

Your login would be your email address and your password, so if you know your login, that's the email that the code is going to.

 

Do you still have access to the email address?

Without access to the email address, you won't be able to sign in to the Dropbox account. Your best option is to try to recover your email account so you can receive the one-time security code.

Hey @ARCHIVOfis!

 

Out of curiosity, do you have any devices that are still linked to the same Dropbox account? 

 

If yes, the one-time code should already be sent as a notification there. 

 

Let me know what you find.

Hi Nancy, no, i don't have any other device to check. I tried to find that one-time code but couldn't get it.

Hey @ARCHIVOfis, I'm afraid that without access to the email address, there's not much we can do on our end.

 

Could you reach out to the email service provider and see if they can reinstate the address?
