Re: Received 3 2FA emails in one minute, but 2FA was not enabled on my account

Hello,

 

I've received two emails on 19/12/2022 requesting to finish singing up by providing the one-time password.

- I haven't logged in or used my Dropbox account for more than an year

- My password is very complicated and was generated by LastPass and is not shared between any accounts

- I've already conducted all counter-measures such as changing password (I already have 2FA turned on).

- Lastly, I didn't use Dropbox on 19/12/2022 in anyway

 

My one and single concern is - Did someone manage to enter correct credentials to my account, or was a glitch/bug from DropBox?

This is very important for me as it's close to the dates LastPass was breach and I need to understand if the email from DropBox was a legitimate login attempt with my password or a bug from DropBox.

 

Please don't simply suggest to change password/2FA as I have already done that.

My only question is if someone managed to actually enter my correct password to DropBox on 19/12/2022.

 

We can further elaborate over email if required.

 

Thank you,

Michael
