It seems everyone will gripe when something (perceived) "goes against the grain". I was hacked on a major website (the incident made national news) that involved a loss of money (that was replaced) so I would like to say thanks for the effort. I do not have to read between the lines to understand "IF" I attempted to log in and for 1000 reasons: Like missing a button with my tired eyes, forgot I changed the password, and because of a brain-fart, repeated the error, then hit the wrong button again, or logged in from an unknown browser or phone (etc...), I pretty much will know it is me that did this and can just ''ignore the message''. On the other hand; if it was not me (or my wife) then maybe it could have been a "hack attack". I am glad I get the notices (happened today) and can put up with some redundant messages, so thanks.

Hi Otr500, you describe the case when someone fails to login. In that case, I fully agree with your opinion. The base of the present thread, however, is a case in which you receive such a message everytime you successfully Login, only because the server does not remember, due to any reason such as problems with cookies, that you have already logged in from the same device. However, in the past six months, this happened only once or twice to me so that I think the Underlying problem has been solved.
