I can't access Dropbox Passwords on my browser and I receive no notifications to Chrome

When i try to login to a site, dropbox passwords is not working. when i go to log into passwords, i get the following message.

Check “Chrome Windows” for a notification

Let’s make sure it’s you and sync any passwords you already added.

We’ll finish setting up after we get your approval on Chrome Windows.

Didn’t get it? Resend notification 

Other options

I am not getting any notifications on chrome. Whats going on?

    Hey Phil71, and thanks for your post! 

     

    Can you clarify which browser you’re trying to use Dropbox Passwords on? Is this the first time you’re using it there? 

     

    Did you click on the “Resend notification” option multiple times and still nothing arrives to your Chrome browser?

     

    Keep me in the loop.

      Hi Nancy,

       

      Im using Google Chrome. Ive been using it for years and this is the first time this has happened. Clicking resend does nothing. I ended up having to use my security words to get in but then it said that i had reached my limit of computers on that account. had to delete all users in order to be able to access passwords.

        Hey Phil71, thanks for the heads up! 

         

        Do you still face this issue, or did you resolve it? 

         

        I'm asking because it sounds like your troubleshooting steps worked. If not, I'll definitely be more than happy to continue troubleshooting.
