Topic on Help talk:Login notifications

I got this thing described here as a mail yesterday: Help:Login_notifications#Successful_logins

I may have logged in yesterday, that may be correct. However, I am not aware that I have ever opted-in/enabled that feature… (I also did not got it from any other wiki yet.)

Maybe this was a false-positive. I do not even know, where I could enable/disable that feature (although you possibly could document that here). And after logging in again now for posting this, I also did not get any mail.

Hi @Rugk! This feature is enabled for all users by default as a security measure. You can disable it in your Special:Preferences under the "Notifications" tab. If you use multiple wikis, you can disable it in your Global Preferences (also under Special:Preferences).

Notifications are only sent for logins from unknown devices or IP addresses. Once the system knows about that device or IP address, it no longer sends notifications for new logins from those devices.

Okay, thanks. Also explained in the entry, I did not notice that… sorry.

Perfectly fine! :)
