Can't access email to get 6-digit code

Can't access email to get 6-digit code

Go to solution

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

It's unlikely that you'll be able to gain access to the account without access to your email address. Your best option would be to contact your email provider to see if they can reactivate your email address so you can receive the code.

 

 

Otherwise you can try to contact Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

Hey @Jimi14 - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that if you follow Hannah's steps to submit this form through an incognito window where you're not logged into any Dropbox account, you should be able to fill all the information surrounding your case and an email address we can currently reach you at.

 

Once this is done and you get a ticket in your email's inbox, you can share its number with us here so that we can look it up in our system too, if needed.

 

Keep us posted with any updates!

Hi there @Himanshu Patil - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Are you perhaps able to re-create the email address to regain access to your Dropbox account?

 

Let us know and we'll take it from there.

Hello Walter

 

I tried recreating same email address, but was not possible.

Is there any other way?.

I have been using this ID for years but due to this 6-digit code upgrade I am facing issue.

Kindly help.

 

Himanshu
