Mobile Authenticator not working

Daniel J.8

Using 2-step verification, I've recently tried switching from receiving texts to using the mobile authenticator. However, the latter is not working.
I'm getting 'invalid' code when i try to input the code generated. How is this possible?
Is there no other way to use 2-step authenticator without having to resort to texts?

Hey @ronosolo777!

I initially sent you an email, and created the 12597301 ticket number for this case. 

However, you didn't reply back from the email address in question, therefore our communication closed due to inactivity. 

Please reach out to our Support team from here via an incognito window by filling in the relevant details under "Submit a Help Request".
 
If you'd like, you can let me know the ticket number that you received (eg. #1234567) so I can pass along the info you've already provided us.
 
Let me know if you have any questions!

It seems you indeed replied back to me as soon as I sent you the message @ronosolo777.

However, your Community email address isn't the same as the one linked to the Dropbox account with the 2FA issue. 

In order for us to proceed, you need to reply back to me with the email address, linked to the correct Dropbox account. 

Thanks.

Hi @8923252, let's see what we can find together on this! 

 

Have you taken a look into this Help Center article that troubleshoots 2FA issues? 

 

Also, have you made sure the phone number you're using there is the same one you used when you enabled the feature? 

 

Let me know!
