Can't access email to get 6-digit code

Hi Keyonkk, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

The 6 digit security code is used when you access the Dropbox account from a different location for security purposes.

Without access to the email address itself, it wouldn't be possible to read this code. Is it not possible to recreate the email address and attempt to login again?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay 

I asked email support, they need me to to give them Phone No. , last 2 email sent within 7 days, rescue email account .

I won't remember because the email account was created 10 years ago and I didn't use more than 5 years.  

If this is what the support team requires, then you'd need to provide that information in order for them to assist you further. 

Do you have the ticket ID in order to locate it on the system?

Jay , Yes...dropbox support already gave me the ticket no.

And yes, I won't use that email (yxhxx mail) ever. 

I have tried every way possible to access my account or try to get in touch with somebody to be able to access my account since the email originally used is inaccessible and the 6 digit code they send can't be used.  I have the correct email and password let me in my account so I can cancel this!!!

If you're being sent a verification code when signing in, then without access to the email address you won't be able to sign in to your account. Your best option to get into the account would be to contact the email provider and see if the email address can be reactivated.

If you need to cancel the billing on the account and you can't sign in, you'll need to contact Dropbox 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 Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

when I try to use dropbox on a pc it asks me to enter a verification code in an email account that I don't have access to because it was created by a person who no longer works with us

Without access to the email address you won't be able to sign in to the account. Your best option is to contact the mail provider and see if the email account can be reactivated. If it was a company email address, your IT group should be able to easily reactivate the email account.

I have used dropbox for many years. yesterday i accidentally delete my email account with microsoft and they are not able to recover it anymore. today when i tried to log on to dropbox, it initiates a verification to send a code to the old email address. i do remember my account username and password, any way to bypass this and let me change my username within the system? i have important information within my account.

Without access to the email address you likely won't be able to sign in to the Dropbox account. Your best option is to work with Microsoft to reactivate your email address so you can receive the verification code. If they can't reactivate the email address, perhaps you can re-register it as a new account.
