How to enable 2-step verification to Dropbox account

If you have been following news from the cloud industry, you might be familiar with the rescent exploits of Dropbox. It faced some inconvenience at the hands of hackers. From then, they have tightened the loopholes and implemented some security measures. Inspite of al these efforts, the safety of the user motsly lies in the hands of the users, since that's where a hacker seeking sensitive information will strike. It would be best to enable two step verification for your drop box account, so as to prevent un-authorized access to your private information.

With two-step verification you can save your private information and avoid inconveniences. Dropbox's 2-step verification works just like Google's one. It provides users with an extra security layer that can keep out most unauthorized activities.

Dropbox 2-step verification

Once you log into your account with your email and password, Dropbox sends a text message to your phone number. The text contains a 6-digit verification code which you gotta enter to log onto your drop-box account. You won't be able to log onto your account unless you enter the code.

Dropbox gives you the option of installing the Authenticator app on your smartphone, which generates time-sensitive codes right on your phone which can then be used to log in.

Process

1. To enable this two level security, visit dropbox account security page and scroll down to account sign-in section. You'll see the two step verification option there. Click on change, if it's disabled.

2. Now you can just follow the simple wizard which guides you through the process.

You can link you phone or your phone number which will receive confirmation codes for log in.

You will also be given an emergency code. Keep it safe and do not share it with anyone. This is for when you lose your mobile phone, and can't access the codes sent by Dropbox.

Step 1. Visit the security page once more and review all you linked devices. Un-link all the devices and re-link them. If you don't use a device any longer, then don't relink it. If you currently use a device, un-link and re-link it. That way, all the devices will now be set to require a 6-digit before a succesful login. If a new computer or device is used, you will be notified by email as well.

step 2. Update Dropbox on your device to latest version to ensure support for two-step verification.

Have a happy and safe browsing :D
