Euler Posted March 18, 2022 at 08:41 PM Share Posted March 18, 2022 at 08:41 PM The "new device" is based on a cookie. When this topic came up before, the suggestion was never to delete cookies. Some browsers allow the user to specify which cookies to keep. Otherwise the site would have to be configured never to send notifications to anyone, which isn't going to happen.

drumgod Posted March 22, 2022 at 01:12 PM Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 at 01:12 PM I can set my alert preferences for everything except that... No other site I frequent does these alerts and they are most definitely not required. I always delete cookies at the end of my session. That's how it is and will be. I will put a bogus email in. If that gets me locked out, oh well. The site isn't what it used to be. My visits have gone from daily to weekly to monthly to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumgod Posted March 22, 2022 at 03:04 PM Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 at 03:04 PM I want to use cookies and log in. I do not want an email every time I do. I fixed it: Create temp address, change to it, verify, then disable again. All good. The site still works (for now) and I don't get bothered by garbage email.

mauserme Posted March 22, 2022 at 06:45 PM Share Posted March 22, 2022 at 06:45 PM We had a couple members report unauthorize logins to their accounts last August/September. They were able to catch them because of the new login alerts. In both cases weak passwords were involved, but the upgrade has given us the ability to see that our security was being tested shortly after we installed the new software. Strong passwords are still going to be the primary defense. The login notifications continue to serve a purpose, however. We enforce strong passwords on new accounts and password changes but there are still weak ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
