Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account. Once it's turned on, Dropbox will require both a six-digit code and your password whenever you log in to Dropbox, or when you link a new computer, phone, or tablet.

Passkeys provide a secure way for you to log in to your account without using a password. They offer an additional level of security against phishing and SIM swap attacks, as well as making the log in process quicker and more convenient.

How to add a passkey when logging in

You might see a prompt to create a passkey right after you log in. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting up your passkey.

Once complete, you’ll be able to use your passkey instead of your password for faster, more secure log-ins.
