Yes, this is the problem. The notification is going to the old PC, but that PC is not connecting to the net (reason why I have a new PC).

Dropbox Community ModeratorI understand where you're coming from, Stefano, however, Dropbox Passwords stores sensitive info like logins, card info, etc., so it's necessary to have additional security layers.
Of course, I'll pass your comments to our team in any case.
Since you don't have access to any previously-connected device or browser, Dropbox Passwords should ask for your recovery words, in their original order so you can connect a new browser. Do you have them?
