Portal 2 Security Code

[Tom Donahou]

Heythere,

The issue is cleared up!

For the record, when I attempted to log in with my new credentials, it would send a code to my email, for the purpose of verification. When I would attempt to use the code in Dropbox Desktop, it would first throw a longer (very nonspecific) error message (which I cannot recall now), and then subsequent attempts to use the code would merely throw an "Invalid code" error. In other words, the email verification codes simply wouldn't work.

On a whim, I reset my Dropbox password again through the web portal, then used the new password in Dropbox Desktop, and now everything seems to be fine. But I appreciate the prompt response!

When asked for credentials on my new laptop during installation, I entered the password incorrectly. But, dropbox directed me to the page that asked for the security code sent to my mobile phone. As soon as I entered the code, a message pops up telling me that there was a problem processing my request. When I click the send button again, an "invalid code" message pops up. I did the same thing over and over again until my account was locked for 24hrs.

Hi, i am trying to install dropbox on a new laptop - everytime i go to put in the security code to link our computers, it says it is a 'invald code' or 'there has been a problem with this request' - plz help

Greetings,

I recently had to change my password for my institution email (the email that my Dropbox is connected to) while I was out of town. Now that I'm back at my usual workstation, I had to log back into Dropbox Desktop with my new credentials, in order to sync my files. It sends me a code to verify my login, but every time I attempt to use the code, it says "Invalid code." As a result, I cannot sync my Dropbox files.

It has been several days since I changed the password, but only a few hours since I attempted to update my Dropbox Desktop account credentials.

In addition to your password, Login.gov requires that you set up at least one authentication method to keep your account secure. This is multifactor authentication (MFA). We use MFA as an added layer of protection to secure your information.

Security

Although you can choose from several authentication options, some authentication methods such as face or touch unlock, security keys, and PIV/CAC cards are more secure against phishing and theft.

Assuming your credential is only saved to your device, you must always use the same device and browser to authenticate with Login.gov using face or touch unlock. If your credential is saved to the cloud, you will be able to authenticate using face or touch unlock across multiple devices.

We strongly recommend you add a second authentication method in case you change or lose your device. If you lose access to your only authentication method, you will need to delete your account and create a new one.

Authentication applications are downloaded to your device and generate secure, six-digit codes you use to sign in to your accounts. While authentication applications are not protected if your device is lost or stolen, this method offers more security than phone calls or text messaging against phishing, hacking, or interception.

Using a security key is more secure than relying on your phone because it has built-in protections against hacking and phishing attacks. Login.gov requires security keys that meet the FIDO (Fast Identity Online) standards.

If you choose to use this less secure option, enter a phone number at which you can receive phone calls or text messages. If you only have a landline, you must receive your one-time code by phone call. Login.gov cannot send one-time codes to extensions or voicemails.

Backup codes are an accessible option for users who do not have access to a phone. However, backup codes are the least secure option for two-factor authentication. Backup codes must be printed or written down which makes them more vulnerable to theft and phishing.

If you select this less secure option, Login.gov will generate a set of ten codes. After you sign in with your username and password, you will be prompted for a code. Each code may be used only once. When the tenth code has been used you will be prompted to download a new list. Treat your recovery codes with the same level of care as you would your password.

Physical PIV (personal identity verification) cards or CACs (common access cards) are secure options for federal government employees and military personnel. These cards, with encrypted chip technology, are resistant to phishing and difficult to hack if stolen.

Warning: Setting up your account with backup codes as your only authentication method is not recommended. If you ever lose your backup codes, you will not be able to sign in to your account.

A security code is required in the account self-creation process. Students or parents new to Aspen are not able to create an account without this code, which links new accounts to existing data in the system.

If you own a mobile phone, make sure you've added the number to your profileLog In Required. If you don't own a mobile phone, you can have an automated phone call deliver the security code to an alternate phone number on your profile.

A trusted device is a phone, computer, or any other device that you've already logged into using MFA and have asked us to remember. Once you log in and check the "Don't ask me again on this device" box, that device is added to your trusted device list.

Complete the steps for requesting a new code. If you're receiving the code by phone, make sure you are near that phone. We can only send text messages to a mobile phone. For a landline phone, select an automated call.

Everytime I sign into my main PayPal account, it keeps asking me for the 6 digit security cope from the authenticatior app. However, I don't remember setting up this and now can't access my account. With my PayPal credit due in a few days, I'm getting very worried here. Can someone please help me with this? I've been trying to call and message them and they said they're not available. Thank you so much for the help and it's really appreciated!

I now have exactly this issue with one of my Paypal accounts. I never set this up. But Contacting Paypal is a joke!. Is this a stuff on Paypal behalf, I can't log in and don't have an authenticaor app what do I do?

Either way, I share your frustration. Every few weeks, I go in circles with PayPal support representatives who just keep telling me how to reset my password with no capacity to escalate the case to someone who can actually help.

so i turned off the 2fa on the settings then turned it back on with just sending a text to my phone. it removed the authenticator app permission. i checked the authenticator apps available on google play and a lot of ppl are having issues with it so i didnt download one. i just had an unauthorized purchase today using my paypal before i removed it and changed the password a bunch of times

Got an answer!!! Use the little link below "Having problems logging in?". It will send a 6-digit code to your connected phone. Use that code and you can bypass the authentication thingy. Then go to your settings and turn it off.

As an administrator for your organization's Google Workspace or Cloud Identity service, you can view and manage security settings for a user. For example, you can reset a user's password, add or remove security keys for multi-factor authentication, and reset user sign-in cookies.

A security key is a small device that lets you sign in to a Google Account using 2-Step Verification (2SV). Of all the 2SV methods supported by Google, a security key is the most secure. It plugs into your computer's USB port or connects to your mobile device using NFC or Bluetooth. Learn more

If you turn off Advanced Protection enrollment here, only the user can re-enroll again provided that the Enable user enrollment setting is enabled at SecurityAuthenticationAdvanced Protection Program. For details, go to Enable users to enroll.

Note: If your organization uses SSO through a third-party IdP, the force a password change setting isn't available unless you use a network mask to allow some users to sign in directly to Workplace. To check whether a network mask is set up, go to SecuritySSO with third-party IDPsSSO profile for your organization.
