    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)? 

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

Hi Asfiya! It sounds like you're receiving the one-time security code, which is different to 2FA (2FA codes are usually sent to your mobile device, and not your email address). 

 

Can you currently access this email address, so that we can log a ticket for you instead?
