2 Step Verification Code Email Not Showing Up

2 Step Verification Code Email Not Showing Up

New member | Level 2

I just attempted to log into a Dropbox acct to be informed you were sending a 6 digit code to the email address associated with the acct. I then logged into the email account Dropbox says they are sending the 6 digit code to -  nothing is there. I've done this now twice with a gap of 15 min. between these codes being sent. After refreshing the message retrievals, I checked the email's Spam, Trash, etc. and even sent the account an email from a different email address. That message showed up. There is nothing showing up from Dropbox. How am I to access my Dropbox acct if the email with this 6 digit code (that I'd prefer to turn off) is not arriving in the email acct associated with it?? This is very frustrating.

Hey @somapeter, I’m sorry to hear you’re having the same issue. 

 

I’m pretty sure you’ve tried this already, but just to make sure we’ve checked everything; are you also unable to locate the code in your spam folder? 

 

If not, then I can open a support ticket for you and investigate this further.

yes, I've checked spam folders as well but not a single mail. there should be a dozen there after my attempts to log in.

found the culprit. the address was blocked on the outlook site among many others (amazon, paypal), very strange.

thank you for taking the time looking into it.
