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

Hi all,   A strange thing happened today, I've received 3 emails  in sequence with content:       Hi [MY FIRST NAME], Finish signing in to Dropbox with this one-time security code...

The six-digit code is necessary for every **bleep** login. This hinders my workflow enormously. I've turned the 2fA on and off a few times, but Dropbox insists that I log in this way. I also only work from the same two devices that have permission. No one else has access to it.
I am absolutely annoyed by it. I don't want this! How can I get rid ob this?

    There's two-step verification and there are one-time security codes. Two-step verification is something the user enables and can be turned off. One-time security codes are requested when Dropbox believes a login attempt is suspicious, and cannot be disabled.
