Dropbox Two Step Verification Screenshot Tour

As you know Dropbox now provides two-factor authentication or "two-step verification" as Dropbox calls it, for better security. If you are thinking of enabling this feature or, are completely new to Dropbox, this article is meant for you.

Two-step verification adds an extra layer of protection to your account. Whenever you sign in to the Dropbox website or link a new device, you'll need to enter both your password and also a security code sent to your mobile phone. You can opt in to receive either a security code which will be sent as a text message to your mobile phone, or you can use a mobile app which generates the security code. You will have to enter this code with your password if you enable "two-step verification" which makes your account more secure. Most of the Banking websites and even Gmail and Facebook have also adopted this extra layer of protection.

I've also added the screenshots of Dropbox installation process for those which have never used Dropbox before. If you are already using a Dropbox account and just want to see how the "two-step verification" works, then skip these
