Hi mehditk1231, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If you're not able to login to Dropbox Passwords with your details, have you tried using your recovery words?
Do you have any other devices already logged into your Passwords account?
This will help me to assist further!

Could you attach a screenshot showing the exact message and prompt you're getting, while hiding any personal info?

Hi from me as well, mehditk1231!
Are you receiving this prompt when trying to access Dropbox Passwords via the website or the mobile app?
Also, just to clarify, are you able to access your Passwords account from any other device/browser?
- mehditk12313 years agoExplorer | Level 3Hi ,
I receive this prompt from the website and the mobile app.
Also i don’t have access to my account, all session are disconnected
Thanks for reply me.
I’m confused , please help me. - Jay3 years ago

As it sounds like you don't have access to your Dropbox Passwords account any more on any of your devices, this would mean that it wouldn't be possible to log back into your account without your recovery words.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter.

Without the recovery words or an already connected device there is no way to get access to the account: https://help.dropbox.com/installs/dropbox-passwords-faq
"To add an extra layer of security, Dropbox Passwords uses devices you’ve already connected to confirm new devices you want to connect. If you don’t have access to any previously-connected device, Dropbox Passwords will ask for your recovery words, in their original order. If you don’t have them, you can’t log in to any new devices and you’ll lose access to your Dropbox Passwords account."
