Dropbox Passwords app does not send notifications to allow new device
Trying to log into my Dropbox passwords app….will not send notification to any device or computer to allow log in. Something glitched in their system the other day. Logged me out of all my account. I now cannot log back in. I can log into Dropbox, but not Dropbox passwords. Notifications to allow access to Dropbox passwords is not working. No way to log back into my passwords account. Won’t allow me to log into Dropbox passwords via desktop either….so frustrating!!

yes.
this is an example of the code 96x9 v3on, taking the numbers out of it did not change anything, still says the error. a reset is NOT what I can do on this.

Are you certain that you're entering the recovery words (without the numbers) in their original order as shown on the site?

when I enter the recovery words. it leaves out the numbers in the recovery words.
so it say's "
That doesn’t look right. Check your spelling and try again."these are the recovery words direct from the dropbox website. - Jay2 years ago

Hi Andrew B.58, the notification that the prompt mentions would've been on the older Firefox browser, which is on the now-formatted Windows, so it would be impossible to get that notification now. It won't pop-up on the existing Firefox browser, since it is unknown to the Dropbox Passwords extension.
This means that the only option remaining, as you mentioned you have no other devices connected to your Dropbox Passwords account, would be to enter the recovery words. What is the exact error you got when entering the words?

So brand new install of windows, I only had the extension on this machine, so with a drive format,and then reinstall of windows and then firefox, my addon as of now is just the dropbox password manager as it contains all of my logins for my job... but it wants me to click a notification on "firefox windows" zero notifications come up, this is a new install... nothing is blocked or tweaked. so what gives? also the backup passwords I have from the dropbox site it's self are not even valid it tells me. so now the problem is, how to resolve this... as this is mission critical.

Hey liracha - sorry to hear about this.
Did you try any of the troubleshooting steps mentioned in this thread, like using another browser or clearing your browser's cache?
