How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Dropbox

To keep your Dropbox account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Dropbox 2FA works, which methods Dropbox supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Dropbox 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.

2FA methods Dropbox supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)

An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.

How to enable or set up 2FA for Dropbox

Dropbox supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step Dropbox guide, or read the official Dropbox documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.

How to recover your Dropbox account

If you've lost access to your Dropbox account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact Dropbox support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
