Hey @stalkerski, welcome to our Community and thanks for using Dropbox!

 

Can you please clarify what exactly you'd like to accomplish here?

 

Do you want to disable the Authentication App as a way to log into your account since you're using security keys now, am I getting this right? 

 

Let me know more and we'll take it from there.

yes, you understood me correctly, because e. keys is considered the highest level of security, and it seems to me that its meaning is lost or a less secure way to unlock an account remains active. it's like coming up with a password for an account where you can go through authorization without a password.

So, in this case, you can change from using an authenticator app to receiving an SMS text to access your account or disable the feature in general. 

 

Can you give this a go through your account's Security page and let me know if it helps @stalkerski?
