I can't log in on my Android mobile app; the code I receive is getting rejected.
When I log in on my Android tablet, the newly sent code at the two factor authentication is recognized as incorrect. I tried it several times with a code that kept being requested again and again. At...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for clarifying that, Frank. Are you absolutely sure there’s no typo when inserting your email address or password?
What I’d suggest as the next step, as a test, is to reset your Dropbox password and tell me if you can log in then.
The email address and password are both correct. Only after 5-6 attempts does the system think that the email address does not exist or that the password is incorrect.
In the various attempts I entered the code partly by copying and pasting, partly by typing directly - to prevent possible spaces being entered.
Next I'll try to implement your suggestion and then get back to you.
Before resetting the password, I wanted to enter "One-time access codes" on dropbox.com. It then asks for my password and then immediately displays the same pop-up window again asking me to enter the password. - ??? What's up?
I changed the password. I then restarted the tablet and logged in to Dropbox with the new password. That worked. The security code was sent - but after entering it the old error message appeared.

Thanks for the additional information Frank Doebbelin - much appreciated.
If you're still unable to log into your account on your tablet, may we reach out via email to have a further look internally at this point?
Hello Nancy, after everything didn't work, I removed the device in www.dropbox.com and then logged in again on the tablet. Apparently no code was required this time. I was immediately logged in and can now use Dropbox on my device. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards.

I'm glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping us in the loop too, Frank.
See you around the Community and take care!
