    In the All Options section there is an option for alerting when an admin logs in. There are two options:

    • Alert me when someone with administrator access signs in
    • Only alert me when that administrator signs in from a new device or location

    When selecting both options it still sends emails when I login from my same computer each day. This used to work as intended and would only send me an email when I logged in from a new computer.

    Proper behavior: only send alert email when logging in from a new computer
    What is it doing: always sending login alerts from any computer.

  • Hi @nemi5150,

    When logging in for the first time, Wordfence will set a cookie named wf_loginalerted_***. When Wordfence detects this cookie, it will know that you’ve previously signed in from that device.

    Can you check if your browser is removing this cookie when it is closed?

    You can do so by going into your browser cookie settings, for example: https://i.imgur.com/VqXszf0.png
