I signed up with the wrong email address. Can you help me regain access to my account?
Hello, I registered my Dropbox account using xxxxx@yahoo.com, but I actually own the email xxxxx@yahoo.com.tw.
Now, after changing my device, Dropbox requires me to verify via a code sent to @yahoo.com, which I cannot access.
I believe I accidentally omitted the .tw when registering.
I can provide any necessary proof or account information to confirm my ownership. Please help me regain access to my account. Thank you!

You can try contacting Support, but without access to the email account you may not be able to gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to maintain an active email address on your account so you can receive password resets and one-time security codes used during sign in.

To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox address, 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.
