Almost impossible to login due to "games" captcha

Hi everyone! I have a problem I hope you can help me resolve.

I use my Dropbox free acount to move files from my phone to the office computer. They are personal things, so I can't install the app or login out of a private browser session. I have two-factors autentication active.

Dropbox makes me lose a lot of time in stupid games before login to prove I'm human. I'm not talking about reCAPTCHA here, but real games where you move people to the right chair and other crap like that.

How can I avoid this? It's ridicolous, if I wanted to play I will have open an account to a game site, not to personal cloudspace.

    I thought I would try the game once more. I got all six tests correct with the person in the correct seat, yet I was told that I had  failed.

    how long can it take for a Dropbox to either get this right or abandon these stupid tests. I am now looking to move to a different site.

    After so many complaints why had Dropbox done NOTHING to resolve the issue?
