two factor authentication
44 TopicsThe 2 Factor Authorization uses a difficult CAPTCHA system
Daily Dropbox user since time immemorial. Today, I had to "solve a puzzle"—providing free training data to an invisible data merchant—retrieve a code from my email, and complete a CAPTCHA. You've lost control. I rely on Dropbox as a productivity tool; this hostile design directly opposes its intended utility. The tool is steadily deteriorating.68Views2likes1CommentI can't log in to Dropbox 'Two-step verification text message can't be sent'
I am facing the 2 factor authentication by SMS error. The text code could not be sent. Not sure what happened. Yesterday I was still able to receive the code via sms and access normally but can't now and there is no other option to verify because i can't now access the account setting Could anyone please kindly provide me the recommendation? or Is this just the dropbox system error that we need to wait?Solved749Views2likes9CommentsSomeone accessed my Dropbox account and I can't get help
Dropbox Plan Professional Are you a Team Member or Admin? No Do you have access to the email linked to the account? Yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? Phone, tablet, work laptop Question or Issue A few days ago, My Dropbox account was hacked by an individual calling themselves Samuel Shimb (see screenshot below). They managed to get access to my account even with 2FA enabled (via SMS)! I want to make people aware of this and the fact that, when I raised this to Dropbox's chat and Support people, they downplayed it and said they's pass it along to their colleagues. Even when I mentioned in my communication with them that I had 2FA enabled, but did not receive any 2FA OTP, in their responses, they still went ahead to say that I must enable 2FA. I have been asking for escalations without any assistance on this matter. I am a paying Dropbox Professional customer, and I want to know how someone accessed my account outside of the normal authentication flow. Even if the hacker managed to obtain my Dropbox password (which I was not using anywhere else by the way), I want to know how they bypassed the 2FA. There were no indications in my GMail inbox of someone trying to reset my Dropbox password (so the hacker did not gain access to my email account first). I was able to login normally using my Dropbox account even after the attack. This has resulted in sensitive information being exposed to an attacker whose intentions I do not know, including work files. However, Dropbox staff have been downplaying this isse. Maybe because this could be a vulnerability on the side of Dropbox and they won't admit that.382Views1like11CommentsAllow us to use a passkey as a two-step verification method.
Please add the option for a passkey in security. Curiously Passkey showed in the Dash training video as an option for the screen shown in the video. Had a defective phone that kept me out of my 2FA accounts and never want to experience that again. With this week's huge data (May 2025) breach, I reluctantly enabled 2FA on Dropbox and carefully stored the backup codes. Still, I would feel much better if I could have the security and convenience of a passkey. Can AI work out how to color folders🙂 Did the Dash training and it is beyond amazing! A real game changer!!!!! Also, I never knew about the Drobox apps.348Views1like3Comments"You've tried to add 2FA with SMS too many times. Please try again after 24 hours."
Hello, team! When I enter my phone number trying to set up two-step authentication, I get this message the first time and all subsequent times I enter my phone number: "You've tried to add two-step authentication with SMS too many times. Please try again after 24 hours." And after 24 hours the same story repeats. Is it a bug in the Dropbox system? Or what is the issue here? Would be thankful for any help.247Views1like7Comments
