My iPhone was stolen and two-factor authentication is preventing my account access.
My iphone was stolen, and two factor authentication is stopping me from logging in. A code is supposed to be sent to my new phone, but I never receive it. Sometimes I receive an error message that says there was an error sending the code. I changed my password on my account with the Apple Private Relay address, but I am not receiving the code, so I canât logon. I have 2 factor authentication on, and I canât get the code from the Auth App either because of the stolen phone. See attached screenshot with error message Dropbox Support staff says I will never be able to recover my account because the email address is an Apple private relay address and I cannot send them an email from this address. This is ridiculous. I have recovered other accounts elsewhere that use Appleâs private relay address. Dropbox Support says they are going to just close my Help Desk Ticket without helping me further/with no resolution. This seems to be bad security recovery design. I would appreciate any help in gaining access to my account. I only have one device- my new iPhone. Thanks
I 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?
Someone 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.
