Another layer of security for your Dropbox account (two-step verification)
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoReluctant to enable until I know how it will affect my desktop. Will I now get a prompt every time I restart?
- jeff18 14y agoDual authentication only occurs when you would normally be asked for a password, so assuming you have already linked your computer, you won't need to authenticate again.
- matt_holden 14y agoNo, you'll only get prompted on desktop/mobile the first time you link your account. If you already have a linked desktop or mobile app, it will continue to work without a prompt. You can also see all of your currently linked devices here: https://www.dropbox.com/account/security https://www.dropbox.com/account/security
